Can you leave a vase empty?
Yes, you can leave a vase empty. A sculptural vase is made to be looked at, so it works with or without flowers.
What does an empty vase look like?
Here are WINKOO vases shown empty and full.
Do vases need flowers?
No, a vase does not need flowers. Fresh flowers do not last long. A vase with a strong shape and a solid colour looks good every day.
Flowers are a nice extra, but they are not a rule.
When does an empty vase look odd?
An empty vase can look odd for three reasons.
- The vase is clear glass, so it looks like something is missing.
- The vase is too small for the surface.
- The colour does not match anything else in the room.
How do you fix it?
Choose a vase with a strong shape and a solid colour. Most people choose Noma in Jade Green at 24 cm, which costs A$169.
Match the colour to a cushion, a picture or a throw you already have.
Does the spot still look a bit empty? Add an 18 cm vase beside the first one. You can find the 18 cm size in the shop.
Your room doesn't need more. It needs the right piece, or the right pair.
Can a vase stay empty all year?
Yes, it can stay empty all year. Every WINKOO vase is designed and made in Melbourne in small premium batches. The material is corn-based, so the vase is not heavy like ceramic.
For ideas, you can read how to style a vase without flowers. To use a pair, you can read how to style two vases together.
