Pots are not just containers for plants, but represent a fundamental element in the design of a context. They add colour, shape and life to spaces, transforming even the simplest environment into a welcoming and refined place.
The vases can then serve as focal points, because they capture attention and create aesthetic harmony. They also offer versatility, being able to be used in various contexts and for different functions, both practical and decorative.
Where to place Vases
The position of the vase is crucial to maximize their visual and functional impact. Here are some ideas:
Entryway: An elegant vase at the entrance can create a welcoming first impression.
Living Room: Use vases of various sizes to add depth and visual interest to coffee tables or empty corners. Kitchen: Small pots with aromatic herbs not only decorate but are also practical for cooking.
Bathroom: Moisture-resistant vases can add a touch of freshness and serenity.
Outdoors: Terraces and gardens can benefit from large, weather-resistant pots, creating relaxing green areas.
Practical and aesthetic functions of vases
The vases are not only decorative, but offer several practical functions:
Contain plants: Obviously, their main use is to host plants and flowers, contributing to air purification and general well-being.
Defining Spaces: Placed strategically, pots can help define and separate different areas within a space.
Add Height: Some vases can add height to an arrangement, balancing the design elements in a room.

How to choose a vase
Choosing the right vase may seem like a simple task, but it actually requires some attention to several factors to ensure that it fits perfectly with the decor and meets practical needs. Here are some aspects to consider to make the best choice.
Dimensions and proportions
The size of the vase must be proportionate to the space in which it will be placed and the plants or flowers it will host. A vase that is too large in a small space can seem bulky, while one that is too small can go unnoticed.
Material
The material of the vase affects not only aesthetics, but also durability and functionality.
Ceramic: Elegant and versatile, suitable for both interiors and exteriors, although it can be fragile.
Plastic: Lightweight and resistant, perfect for outdoors and for those looking for economical and easy to move solutions.
Glass: Elegant and modern, suitable for refined interiors but requires greater care. Metal: Resistant and durable, gives an industrial and modern look.
Style and design
The design of the vase must harmonize with the style of the existing furniture.
Modern: Clean lines, geometric shapes and neutral colors.
Classic: Ornamental details, traditional materials such as ceramic or worked glass.
Eclectic: Original and bold designs, bright colors and unconventional shapes.
Color
The color of the vase can influence the atmosphere of the room.
Neutral tones: White, grey, black easily adapt to any environment.
Bright colors: They can add a touch of fun and become focal points.
Functionality
In addition to the aesthetic aspect, it is important to consider the functionality of the vase.
Drainage: A good drainage system is essential to avoid water stagnation which can damage the roots of the plants.
Mobility: If you plan to move the vase often, opt for lightweight models.
Multifunctionality: Some pots offer additional functions, such as drink containers (e.g. Turtle Carry Planter and Cooler by Qeeboo) or integrated lighting (e.g. Threebù Pot).
Purpose of the Vase
Decorative: If the vase is mainly decorative, you can dare with bolder and less practical designs.
For plants: Make sure it is suitable for the plant's needs in terms of size, material and drainage.
