Decorating with floor vases (along with artificial flowers and plants) is an easy and impactful way to enhance your spaces. You can create versatile looks with your vases by adding different artificial fillers, like fake flowers and plants, to suit your color scheme, style, special occasion, or the time of year.
1. Lush Greenery for a Natural Look
For faux greenery, mix and match various shades of green to create a realistic look. You can combine soft, feathery-looking ferns with structured, elegant eucalyptus and cascading ivy to create a beautiful and interesting arrangement for a large floor vase.
To make it look more realistic, vary the height of the greenery and layer the stems, so some of them peek out above the top of the urn. Many people love this arrangement for a living room or entryway because it brings in a fresh, calming vibe. Try positioning vases with fake plants near windows with nice natural light or close to wood furniture to enhance the natural feel.
2. Dramatic Branches for a Bold Statement
If you’re looking for something dramatic and bold, try using faux tree branches, like birch, willow, or curly branches, in your arrangement. These branches will add height and a touch of drama, creating a cool, abstract look in your oversized vase. This look is ideal for modern or minimalist interiors that feature clean lines and bold shapes.
To pull it off, find tall vases and smooth surfaces to show off the beautiful curve or shape of the branches. Arrange them asymmetrically for more visual interest. This look is awesome in rooms with high ceilings or as a centerpiece in a long hallway where you want people to pay attention to what you’ve done.
3. Pampas Grass for a Trendy Touch
Pampas grass also looks great in these modern arrangements. It’s super soft and has a chic look too. You can find it in neutral colors like beige, white, and pale shades, so it works great with the minimalist and bohemian styles that are so popular right now. You can take a bunch of pampas grass and stick it in a tall, narrow vase.
To elevate the look of pampas grass in your arrangement, try putting them in vases that are pastel colors or have subtle textures to them. For example, you could use a vase that’s a cool ceramic or a vase that’s clear glass. Put a bunch of those skinny little grasses in there, and it looks awesome.
This kind of arrangement will look good in bedrooms, living rooms, and even bathrooms. These vases add warmth and sophistication to the room, giving you a chance to elevate your home décor. If you want to get fancy, you can start mixing the pampas grass with other dry elements, like wheat or reeds.
4. Seasonal Blooms for Year-Round Style
Mix up your flowers depending on the time of year. There are brightly colored tulips, daisies, or whatever else you can put out there to announce to the world it’s spring. When it gets hot and sticky in the summertime, it’s time to bring out the sunflowers and all those tropical blooms.
In the autumn, you can have your chrysanthemums and fake maple leaves. When it’s cold outside, you can get some pincushions and some frosty greens to put in your vase to make it look like it’s snowy out there.
You can take advantage of the seasonal effect to come in and change the decorations in your house without having to do a ton of work. You’re gonna make a lot of flower arrangements look good because it’s easy to put stuff in vases and make it look like a bunch of flowers.
5. Colorful Floral Arrangements for a Pop of Color
Take advantage of this trick to brighten up a room that’s not getting enough sunshine or to make a more interesting focal point. Depending on the size of the bunch you use, you can arrange them to be all the same color or a bunch of different colors.
When it’s dull and gray outside, brighten a room with bright red flowers. If you have neutral colors in your home, throw some yellow flowers in a vase, and it makes a statement.
Use plain vases in neutral colors or in colors that look good with your flowers. For example, if you have a bunch of yellow and blue flowers that you put in a vase, you might think about getting a blue or green or brown vase.
6. Mixed Textures for Visual Interest
Another way to get a more interesting display is to put in a combination of different materials. That could be flowers, greenery, branches, or whatever else.
You can go with a bunch of artificial succulents to make it look modern. When you put in grass and berries, you bring in a whole new range of colors and depth. If you mix and match shiny foliage with matte branches, you get different looks, shapes, and textures.
If you want a more big, messy looking arrangement, use a wide mouthed vase. This works well for everything but those tight spaces where you just want a little color next to your sink or in your bathroom. Do some large arrangements next to a tiny space as a decoration to get you thinking creatively.
7. Simple Flowers for a Minimalist Look
An artificial flower in a neat decoration vase will be a good minimalistic item. By the way, if you want to use real flowers choose orchids they have elegance, get calla lilies because they are simple, or stick roses in the tree because the real flowers can look good in the pictures.
You can choose the vase with clean lines. You can get a little fancy by picking something with an unusual shape. If you can use neutral colors in your minimalist decoration, your flowers will look better. You can put this kind of flower arrangement in a modern bedroom or put it in a Scandinavian style room where simplicity is crucial.Roses can go in trees.
8. Decorative Vases Without Flowers
Sometimes the vase itself is a designed vase. You don’t always need to fill a beautifully designed vase with flowers; the vase itself can be the star of the show. You can choose metal, ceramic, and glass vases with unique patterns or bold shapes to add personality to your decor.
You can place these types of vases individually where they can be seen like on a mantel, a console, by themselves in a corner, or some other place where they can stand alone. By not putting flowers or any greenery into it, it makes us focus on the design of the vase.
9. Twigs and Spruce for Rustic Charm
For cozy, rustic decor, use artificial branches, spruce branches, or pine trees in a vase. This will add warmth and naturalness to your decor. You can also use branches or artificial pinecones that are textured for a rustic touch to your centerpiece.
Pair your earthy, rustic arrangement with an earthy vase such as terra cotta, wood or bronze. Terracotta is perfect if you want to re-create the look of an Italian vineyard in your home. Rustic works well in cabins, farmhouse style homes and rooms with warmer, earthier tones. Add faux berries to the mix for a festive touch at Christmastime to create an earthy/rustic/chic/seasonal holiday arrangement.
10. Natural Fillers for Realism
Make your floor vase arrangement look more genuine by adding natural fillers such as moss, pebbles, seashells, or decorative stones. The natural filler you choose will weigh down your stems and provide a professional finish to your arrangement. Colored sand is a fun way to finish off a floor vase arrangement, especially if you have a mixture of colors.
But, for real impact and the “wow” factor, match the filler to the theme of the arrangement. For example, when doing a luscious green arrangement, you may want to use moss which will lift up the green. When doing a minimalist arrangement, use white stones. This is one of those crunchy and “woo-woo” things that professional floor vase arrangers do with their arrangements.
Putting artificial plants and flowers into a floor vase can transform your space and elevate its appearance. You can decorate a tall vase with lush greenery, thick branches, lifelike arrangements, and funky cattails. From simple designs to the most elaborate arrangements, these options can suit every style and preference. With a some creativity, you can create stunning arrangements that bring beauty and elegance to your home.
