Filling options

Flowers (live, artificial)

Flowers are the first thing that comes to mind when asking what to put in a vase. Live flowers certainly look more elegant and fill the room with a delightful aroma.

However, not every product is suitable for live plants, or more precisely, for water. Ceramic, glass, crystal and porcelain vessels are suitable for this. For other floor vases, it is better to choose artificial flowers. They do not lose their appearance and do not require complex care, which allows you to enjoy the view of the plants for a long time.

For example, for a classic living room you can choose lush tea roses, for an Asian style – orchid or sakura branches, and for a modern interior – fragile irises.

Greenery

It can be natural or artificial, in any case, it will add a touch of freshness to the interior of the room. Depending on the shape of the vase, the leaves can be straight, like grass, or fluffy and voluminous.
