Vases are great in completing the look of your dining table. Considering that they are small and easily accessorise, they help give a final finish to the actual place you are sprucing up.

Artistic hands have helped create perfect wooden vases that come in exotic strips of the various shades of wood offering authenticity to your home.

Similarly, large glass vases also make for a perfect decorative accessory that can be used to give shape to your intentions.

These vases can be used in many ways. They do not always need to hold flowers to be decorative. Stunning vases can stand all by themselves and equally lend splendour to the location if used with a bit of creativity and imagination.

The flower holders by themselves are great and can used to add artistic beauty and elegance to your room. You can display them as showpieces put them on any decorative table or in any corner of the house.

Large and beautiful flowers are best when it comes to complementing your vase. For more themes, you can put seashells, sands or coloured water.

Neck openings

Glass vases can also be used for decorative purposes in a wedding party or any other special occasion. It is a very graceful choice to use as their clear and shiny look fills the moment with sparkles.

With large glass vases, you can pour clean water in them till halfway then drop different coloured petals of rose flower.

Vases come with different neck openings. Narrow openings give a contemporary look and are great for holding dried flowers. Those with wider neck opening do fine with a huge bunch of flowers.

Larger taller vases are best displayed if placed on top of a cube at a corner. On a backdrop of a plain wall, use tall vase sets and decorate it with tall-stemmed flowers.

Whatever your style and preference, these vases can provide the optimum style and elegance to any room.
