Flower stands, vase holders

Flower stands

Sometimes it happens to receive as a gift a beautiful bouquet of flowers and not to find a suitable vase. It also happens to have guests for lunch, prepare and decorate a beautiful table, having organized everything and realize at the last moment that you forgot the flower vase.


The flower stands and the vase holders lie hidden in the cupboards of our houses, souvenirs of events, weddings, graduations, communions, baptisms, etc.., More or less attractive, more or less modern, but even if the collection is almost infinite, it always seems that we miss the right one.

Let's take an overview of the latest collections of some manufacturers of vases and pot holders, of different styles that could do the job.

Cheerful and colorful, the rectangular vases HoleInOne of Caoscreo, are suitable for any environment and enhance each flower.

Each vase can contain up to 2-3 cut or fake flower, preferably quite high, and is therefore suitable for compositions with gerberas, orchids, roses, etc..

The designer Enrico Cesana designed them in a wide range of fluorescent colors: yellow, pink, red, lime green, light blue, lilac, orange, without forgetting the classic black and white. The standard dimensions of these vases are 30x8x19 cm: thus being particularly narrow, they steal little space and are fine to be placed on shelves or window sills.

The classy glass vase with shades of white Breath by Eau & Air of the collection by Sia Home Fashion, price 49 euro.
Elegant, again by the same company, is also the vase in blown glass Izy and the boule Cuty in green glass with plots that reproduce the fabric of sweaters in wool, made entirely by hand.

The extraordinary white porcelain vase Land, available in shades of brown, green and white, the same material, the set of two vases Waves, the collection Delices the outer surface of which seems to be composed of strips of porcelain, with irregular edges, leaning on each other.

Particularly refined is the collection created by Rina Menardi, designer since 1980 developing her research in the field of ceramics, in particular stoneware, customizing techniques, colors and shapes. The muted tones which characterize the creations of the potter, correspond to a wide palette of colors that fades from grey, beige, blue, pink, lilac, white.

Very elegant and refined is the collection of vases FLA and CAN: the first with a more streamlined shape available in 7 different sizes, and the second, with more cylindrical shape, available in 4 sizes.

If you prefer the shabby-chic style, the solution that's right for you, is the vase Aristide in Dolomite, diameter 16 cm and height 23 cm, from the collection Shabby-City, a proposal for the summer 2014 by the French company Maisons du Monde.


The glass jar is a real mat and Maison du Monde offers it craquelé: this is the Obus beveled craquelé vase. It suits any space and it only costs 8.99 Euros.

A DIY tip to maintain longer cut flowers: it takes 4 or 5 drops of bleach poured into one liter of water or, alternatively, a bit of baking soda 1/2 teaspoon per liter and a half of water and your flowers will last a few more days.

Vase holders

If instead of the cut flowers you prefer to keep in the house plants that last a long time, you will have to resort to the holders: also in this case the choice is very wide!

Let's start with the most simple and economical: one of the latest collections by Ikea really suits every occasion.
This is the collection Skurar available in different sizes and colors, white, pastel pink, pastel green and red cherry.
From bowls to vases, with less than 5 Euros you will be able to decorate your indoor and outdoor environments.
This collection has had an extraordinary success, so much so that someone thought to utilize vessels Skurar as pen holders, door tricks, potpourri bowls, etc..

If you opt instead for a more minimalist style then you will be satisfied with the colorful collection proposals by Papaja: from yellow to green, pink to gray or eight splendid vase holders of 12 or 14 cm will form a cheerful palette that will color your home.

For an even more minimalist style you can opt for the collection with simple lines and rational clay dove gray Mandel. Diameter from 10 cm to 32 cm, is well suited to the interior, it is perfect for orchids, but also looks great on the outside.

A little 'more messy is the set of white ceramic Wrinkled by Sia Home Fashion, whose vessels with a diameter of 14.5 cm and 24 cm propose an outer surface very special recall the lines of a sheet of crumpled paper.

Well, now you just need to go out and buy plants and flowers in abundance.
