Things You'll Need

• Instantly update any room in your house by decorating with floor vases. Vases filled with all types of decorative items fill in empty spaces without breaking the budget. Floor vases are available in a wide variety of materials, such as wood, bamboo, glass, plastic and metal, and can be used alone or in groups to enhance the look of a room.

Instructions

1. Choose the room you would like to accent with floor vases. Look for a free space that can accommodate several vases. Floor vases can accentuate shelving, couches and entertainment centers, as well as fill in a boring empty space.

2. Choose vase colors and materials that highlight the look of the room. For instance, if you have a sophisticated space, choose an elegant glass vase with clean lines; a silver vase will complement a modern-looking room. If your style is more shabby chic, pick an antique vase with delicate etching details. Or add a pop of color to a neutral-hued room by using brightly-hued vases; for example, liven up a black and white room with a red vase.

3. A single glass vase filled with red roses can make a stunning statement, while grouping several floor vases together looks fresh and artistic. Get creative when choosing vases. Pick ones in various sizes and patterns; be sure to choose coordinating colors for a cohesive look.

4. To liven up a boring floor vase before filling it, enhance it with craft paints, ribbons or glue-on gems. Customize a vase for a specific holiday; as an example, tie red and green ribbons around a clear glass vase and fill it with sparkling glitter-covered branches for Christmas. For Halloween, paint pumpkin and witch designs on the vase and fill it with harvest-hued flowers.

5. Fill a vase or vases with fresh-cut flowers, silk blooms, branches of dried berries, feathers, tropical palm fronds, dried wheat grass, eucalyptus or any combination of these. Choose a floral arrangement that accentuates your decor and the look of the room. For instance, a gold vase filled with peacock feathers will enhance a living room decorated with exotic furniture, rugs and artwork.
