Browse our full range of Vases — Accessories, fast delivery and 30-day returns.
A well-chosen vase does more than hold flowers — it adds height, colour and a little quiet sculpture to a shelf, mantel or dining table. Our vases range from slim bud vases for a single stem to floor-standing statement pieces for a hallway or living-room corner, in ceramic, glass, stoneware and metal finishes that sit comfortably alongside both modern and traditional interiors.
Whether you're styling a console for everyday, dressing a table for guests, or looking for a giftable piece, the guidance below will help you choose a shape, size and material that works for your space — with fast UK delivery and 30-day returns on every order.
Getting the shape right is the quickest way to make an arrangement — or an empty vase — look intentional.
As a rule of thumb, the flowers should sit at roughly one-and-a-half times the height of the vase for a balanced look. For a mantel or shelf, keep the vase to about two-thirds of the height of the space above it so it doesn't feel cramped. On a dining table, choose low vases (under 30cm) so guests can see across — save the tall pieces for consoles, floors and corners where sightlines don't matter.
Each material brings a different mood. Clear glass is light and unobtrusive and shows off stems and water. Ceramic and stoneware add matt colour and texture and hide cloudy water, making them the low-maintenance choice. Metallic and glazed finishes catch the light and lift a neutral scheme. If you're building a collection, mixing two or three materials in a tonal palette reads as considered rather than mismatched.
Group vases in odd numbers and varying heights for a florist-window effect, and give a single sculptural piece room to breathe. For fresh flowers, change the water every couple of days and keep glass vases clear with a little warm water and washing-up liquid, or a soak with denture tablets for stubborn residue. Faux and dried stems make any vase a year-round fixture with no upkeep at all.
For a standard supermarket or garden bunch, a vase around 20–25cm tall with a body wide enough to let stems fan out works well. Aim for the flowers to sit at about one-and-a-half times the vase height for a balanced arrangement.
Faux stems, dried pampas grass, eucalyptus or bare branches all look beautiful and last indefinitely. Sculptural vases are designed to stand alone, so they still look intentional completely empty.
Our glass, ceramic and stoneware vases are designed to hold water for fresh arrangements. Purely decorative or open-weave pieces are noted as such in the product description — pop a glass liner or jar inside if you'd like to use one with fresh stems.
Rinse after each use and wash with warm water and washing-up liquid. For limescale or dried residue, soak with a denture-cleaning tablet or a mix of white vinegar and warm water, then rinse well.
Choose something low — under about 30cm — or a row of small bud vases, so guests can see and talk across the table. Keep tall and floor vases for consoles, sideboards and corners instead.
Yes. Every vase is carefully packed for UK delivery and covered by our 30-day returns policy, so you can order with confidence.
