Vases & Planters

How to Decorate with Modern Vases

Vases come in a variety of styles, materials and colours to match your home décor. The classic flower vase serves as a lovely accent on tabletops, shelves and entryway tables. Modern vases blend sleek designs with materials like metal, glass and ceramic. Mix and match different-sized, coloured vases to create eye-catching centrepieces. Add fresh or faux botanicals to make them even more beautiful.

Tall, skinny vases are ideal for small flower arrangements. They take up little space on a table but make a big impact due to their height, while wide cylinder-style flower holders display larger arrangements with plenty of faux foliage as filler. You can use large decorative urns and jugs on their own, or fill them with flowers and trailing plants.

For a simple and stylish arrangement, choose a vase in black or white. The bright colours of flowers and greenery stand out against a neutral backdrop. Metallic flower holders make a great addition to any modern household. Material options include stainless steel with a brass finish, aluminum with an antique brass finish and recycled materials with a natural, oxidized metal finish. Glass is a popular material for decorating. It can be used in both modern or classic styles. In modern decorating, glass vessels showcase the entire plant and stem or any vase fillers you may be using.

Decorating with Planters & Pots

Plants can help create a serene environment and remind us to appreciate the present moment. At Urban Barn, our collection of pots and planters allow you to bring nature-inspired beauty into your home.

Floor planters are a classic option for adding visual interest to a room. If you're decorating with artificial plants for the season, consider filling a standing floor pot with dried grasses or warmly-coloured flower stems. Don't have the space for a floor plant? Try hanging up wall planters or placing a tabletop plant on your dining room table for guests to admire.
