A vase in the interior of any room is able to create an atmosphere of coziness and comfort in the room. This decor has been familiar to mankind since time immemorial and its presence not only added originality to the dwelling, but also acted as a special accent. Without a doubt, a vase is a kind of finishing touch that plays an important role in the integrity of the interior. And when this thing is an item of ancient decor, then it is very much appreciated. And therefore, to have such a vase in your home is a way to emphasize once again the luxury and sign of prosperity of the owner of the home.
Destination
A vase in a house or apartment can be used for different purposes and this is its multifunctional nature. This is not only an original decoration of the interior, but also a useful container where you can store small items, jewelry, and beads. But what types of vases exist? A similar question cannot but occur to any person who collects such decorative items.
Varieties of Decor
As we know, original containers have been familiar to us from time immemorial, and over such a long period of time, different nations managed to create their own masterpieces of such art. Even then, vases in the interior played a special role. Therefore, we can only guess how many types of such products exist.
At the same time, all vases can be divided into two main groups:
- Floor - their height starts from 400 mm, up to almost one meter. As a rule, this is an independent element of decor, sometimes having a complex, intricate shape with an original pattern. But monophonic options are quite capable of decorating any interior, becoming a vessel for vegetation.
- Tabletop - these smaller vases are no more than 400 mm. Here they just should not be put on the floor, the best place for them is shelves, tables, racks, chests of drawers, window sills. And here the main role is given to the silhouette of such a decor. And the more beautiful its contour, the better it will fit into the interior.
Skillfully arranging small vases in the kitchen, it is possible to emphasize the decoration of the room.
Long items will look appropriate in the corridor, hall, dining room or living room.
Modern paraphernalia
Modern vases can be made of different materials:
- glass;
- metal;
- a tree;
- vines;
- ceramics;
- porcelain;
- plastic;
- rattan;
- bamboo.
Moreover, they all differ among themselves in their strengths and weaknesses. And if the advantage of some lies in strength, then the advantages of others are extraordinary beauty. Let's consider in more detail several options.
Ceramic classic
Do you know what material the very first vase was made of? Such an object appeared in the interior when people learned the wisdom of stone processing. At that time, it was discovered that various objects could be made of clay. First of all, household attributes were made. But after some period, humanity began to think about satisfying the needs in the aesthetic side of their lives.
It is this facet of life that the ancient Greeks thought of making vases from clay that were decorated with paintings of ornaments or animals. At the same time, the inhabitants of Ancient Egypt also began to learn the art of creating vases from clay. It was the masters of this country who opened the production of floor decor items, which these days began to decorate not only private real estate and apartment buildings, but also offices, other public buildings.
Judging by many photos of vases in the interior (there are several pictures in the body of the article), modern vessels were the result of fireclay, but they already have a different appearance - they are rude, have a calm color. But even because of its primitiveness, such attributes will serve as a good decoration for a classic interior.
Porcelain Grace
Porcelain in its characteristics resembles ceramics, but at the same time, the best grades of white clay with the addition of various impurities are used to obtain this material. The result - the vessels are elegant and durable.
Previously, only Chinese masters were familiar with the porcelain production procedure. This material was a subject of universal delight and was a real mysterious riddle of the East. Moreover, everything was so serious that any person who announced the secrets of the production of material to society could be sentenced to death.
At all times, porcelain vases have been a symbol of beauty, peace and harmony. The presence of such a high-quality product in the house personified the wealth of the owner of the home. But to make such objects with your hands is not easy, therefore they are so highly valued and look artfully. Photos of floor vases in the interior are direct proof of this.
However, not every modern subject is good. But the masters of Germany, France and England make really high-quality material.
Originality donated by the Romans
And who invented the glass blowing tube? But this is none other than the Roman master! Without a doubt, this nation can be considered the creators of glass. Venetian vases gained the greatest popularity, and at that time they were of great value. But these days, their value has risen even higher.
Modern decor is made using mosaic or laminated glass. Sometimes vases are left in their original form, that is, they are not decorated. Nevertheless, in most cases they are painted with paints or different design techniques are used:
- craquelure;
- matting;
- etching.
As for crystal objects, they are made by manual labor or by a pressed method. The most valuable vases are obtained from Czech crystal.
Selection of shades of vases
When choosing a color, you can rely on your own preferences. Although there are no serious restrictions in this regard, the vase in the interior of the living room should be in harmony with the basic tone of the room and other elements of its design.
If the room contains expensive, stylish and beautiful pieces of furniture, you should take into account their texture and material. In this case, the shade of the vase is selected according to the color of the sofa upholstered in fabric, a wooden cabinet, and a cabinet. Then the vessels will not distract attention, but will concentrate it precisely on pieces of furniture.
If you put the vases against the wall, then they can contrast or merge with it. Contrast is especially appropriate when two colors prevail in any room. Take beige and brown for example. Installed on a shelf of a darker color, vases will shade the light surface of the walls. But to the coffee table, painted in a dark brown tint, a milk-colored vessel will do. This technique can be used in relation to other two-tone options.
Another design technique is to give decorative vases for the interior a solo accent. In other words, do not tie it to another room environment, it should be a separate and distinct element. But in this case we are talking about any group of vessels, or the vase should be very large and fully luxurious.
A single accent requires impressiveness! Below we will consider another good version of the game with flowers.
Wall-mounted selection
Such a solution at first glance seems uninteresting, but at the same time there is a certain meaning lurking here. Vases, which will be tone-on-tone with the wall, will create additional texture and volume. As a result, the space of the room will no longer appear flat.
To make color inclusions, it is better to use vases of the corresponding accent range. At the same time, combinations can quite intrigue - to place two vessels of the same shape side by side, one of which will be in the tone of the furniture, and the other will be accented.
In addition, combining floor vases for the interior, differing in color and style, you can get unusual effects that will be appropriate in a particular design. At the same time, one should not be afraid to conduct various experiments, for example, combine in one room an element of high-tech style with an antique vessel. It is enough to simply arrange the decor of different directions at different levels of height.
Whole sets
In addition to combining the color of vases, you can go another way - to create whole compositions from individual elements. This is not only original, but no less spectacular! When compiling your own set, there are also no restrictions - everything largely depends on your own imagination.
The combination of exactly the same products will not seem like an original solution, however, such a choice can attract attention. But mixed product groups are characterized by a much greater degree of creativity. Then in the interior of the vase it will be appropriate to combine the same shape, but of a different color. In another way, it is equivalent to group vessels of various configurations in one place, but of the same tone and design. Some manufacturers of vases have already taken care of this and are selling entire sets where pairs or several products are combined.
Today, due to the existing diversity, you can choose the perfect option for your home (in a private house or apartment), which only with its presence will decorate the interior of any room.
Something about form
A unique vase is a vessel that, with its presence, will be in harmony with the surroundings of a particular room interior. There are different forms for this and each has its own characteristics:
- Cylinder. As we understand, this is the correct geometry, but from the point of view of design art, vases can be different from the ideal image. A glass vessel with tall plants will give the room softness and summer tenderness. Plaster or ceramic vases can be the epicenter of attention.
- Square and rectangle. Thanks to straight lines and sharp corners, this is a good option that can emphasize the rigor of high-tech and minimalism.
- A circle. This form is more elegant and will be relevant for rooms not only of oriental style, Provence and classic will also serve as an excellent background for such vessels. In addition, products will be in harmony with other tall items.
- Unusual In addition to the usual forms for us, vases can be an unusual piece of decor. For example, a human silhouette, a spherical object with a hollow hole, a curved geometric figure, etc. Vases with flowers in the interior are also a good option.
When choosing a vessel for the room, you should feel its atmosphere well.
For example: with pastel tones, twilight and natural materials, a streamlined shape with an ornate pattern will harmoniously combine. Thus it is necessary to act in each case. Moreover, it is important not to lose sight of any detail and interior detail. In other words, there should also not be shy to conduct experiments.
Filling vases
How can I fill a vase? There are several options here. And the very first thing that comes to mind is flowers! Moreover, the living will fill the room with a special aroma. But not every vessel is adapted for this, in particular, to water. And if ceramic, glass, crystal and porcelain vases are completely suitable for such purposes, then, among a number of others, it is better to choose artificial flowers. The latter do not require either water or proper care, but they look quite beautiful.
When decorating a room in a modern style or in the spirit of minimalism, painted branches can be chosen for vases. This approach will be a successful complement to the big picture. In extreme cases, dried flowers can be used. Only they are very fragile and this fact must be taken into account during the arrangement.
In almost any interior, a floor vase with flowers can look luxurious, but at the same time ordinary. Want more extravagance? Then you should pay attention to feathers. They certainly are able to attract attention. This decoration is especially relevant in the bedroom or living room.
Total
A vase is not so much an obligatory attribute of the interior as its pleasant addition. In any case, if it is present in the room, its atmosphere will change, and for the better, making the design complete and individual.
Decorative vessels look good in the bathroom. Just do not forget that in this room is almost always a high level of humidity. Therefore, you need to select vases taking into account this factor.
