Flower vases

Choosing the right flower vase styles for your home

If you’re like many people, you have a few vases for flowers that you’ve saved from arrangements you’ve received over the years. If you’re fortunate, you like the look and style of these flower vase designs and they’re sized right for your current flower needs.

However, many of us end up tucking them away in kitchen cabinets or storage boxes because they don’t really meet our needs or aren’t our style. We keep them in hope that someday we’ll need them and they can serve a purpose beyond collecting dust or adding to clutter. Consider this your permission to donate the flower vases you don’t like, want or need once and for all!

What size flower vase do I need?

Our stylish stoneware, metal and glass vases are offered in sizes and styles to accommodate a variety of floral arrangements. Consider how tall and wide your ideal flower vase styles would be, and treat yourself to the colors and designs you like best. You’ll gain extra cabinet space in the process while adding home decor elements that align with your needs and your personal taste.

Which material is best for vases for flowers?

There is no wrong choice when it comes to the material of the vase you choose; each offers its own beauty! Stoneware vases bring a cozy, rustic feel while metal vases can range from retro to modern depending on their style. Classic ceramic and glass vases are available in a wide range of styles, colors and sizes to suit everyone's floral fancy!

Affordable glass vases are great centerpieces for special occasions

Planning a wedding, bridal shower, baby shower or other group celebration and want to keep decorating costs to a minimum? Browse our affordable clear glass vases to see which styles catch your eye. These flower vases are popularly chosen for use as table centerpieces, filled with fresh or artificial flowers or other decorative elements in whatever color and style complements your event decor. Also be sure to create an IKEA gift registry to make the gift opening even more exciting!

Not sure what you’ll do with 6 or more glass vases once the event is over? Make giving them away part of the fun. If you’ll be playing any games at your event—as is common at baby and bridal showers—the winning prize for one of the games can be the centerpiece, with each going to the winner at that table. No games, no problem! Consider placing a sticker or card under the seat or water glass of the lucky guest at each table who will be bringing a new flower vase home with them.
