The Many Ways to Decorate with Square Vases

Square vases look beautiful in today’s modern home. Filled with flowers, bamboo, shells or stones, they are a wonderful vehicle for bringing a bit of nature into any room in your home.

A tall, square glass vase can sit on the floor or on a bookshelf or mantle, depending on its size. Long stemmed flowers, branches or bamboo stalks would all work well in such a vase. If you are planning on using any large glass vase as floor vases, make sure that it is weighted down enough to prevent tipping over. Consideration of children and pets is always wise when planning the placement of fragile decorative pieces such as a large vase.

A shorter square vase works nicely as a centerpiece and can be filled with flowers and many other items as well. If your vase is clear, you could fill it with pretty stones, seashells or other small objects. A small candle sitting in some sand with small beachy items makes a nice centerpiece with a nautical flair. Even when you are using fresh flowers in a glass vase, it is always nice to use some stones or glass marbles for decoration as well. For more interesting ideas on filling square vases, look through home decorating magazines and check out stores such as Pottery Barn, where vases are always on display.

Consider using a set of different sized square vases to form an attractive display on a table or shelf. The vases could be similar in style and color, or just have the square shape in common. Vases that are interesting on their own often do not need to be filled with anything. Square vases are a simple, yet sophisticated decorative piece that can add some class to any room in your home.

If you are planning a wedding in the near future, keep square glass vases in mind for those centerpieces as well. They can be the starting point for many simple, but elegant flower arrangements that would fit in with the theme of many contemporary wedding receptions. So you can see just how versatile square vases are – pick up one or two today and enjoy!
