Ashley Canada Decorative Vases for Every Room and Style

A good vase earns its place without trying. Whether it’s holding dried flowers, pampas grass, or a single eucalyptus stem, or just sitting empty on a shelf because the shape is enough, the right piece can pull a whole room together faster than most people expect.

Ashley Canada carries decorative vases for living rooms, entryways, dining tables, and bedrooms in a wide range of materials, sizes, and finishes, from small bud vases to tall floor vases that hold a corner on their own.

Vase Shapes, Materials, and Finishes

Ceramic vases are heavier and opaque, giving them a grounded, warm feel that suits layered or earth-toned rooms. Beige ceramic is especially versatile here. Glass vases are lighter and airy, well suited to minimalist or coastal-inspired spaces where the stems inside are part of the look. Metallic finishes like bronze and gold sit between accent piece and sculpture, and they complement rooms where you’re already decorating with metallics.

Bud vases and shorter, wide-mouthed pieces suit shelves, coffee tables, and nightstands. Tall floor vases need more room and tend to look their best beside a console, in a corner, or flanking a fireplace. Vase sets take the guesswork out of grouping.

Before You Buy

Scale matters more than most people expect. A tall vase on a small accent table will dominate; a tiny piece on a large console table won't be noticed. Mid-height vases around 10 to 14 inches tend to be the most adaptable across surfaces and room sizes.

For grouped arrangements, odd numbers read more naturally than even. Three pieces at varying heights look considered. Two identical ones often look like you couldn’t decide.

Also think about what you’re putting inside, if anything. Vases for dried flowers and pampas grass don’t need to be watertight and can have narrower openings. Vases for fresh flowers need interior volume and a wide enough neck to arrange stems easily. Decorating with plants covers how botanicals pair with furniture if you want to take the styling further.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bud vases? Bud vases are small, narrow-necked vases designed to hold one or a few stems. They’re a natural choice for shelf styling and tabletop groupings, and look great clustered in odd numbers.

What do you put in a decorative vase? Dried flowers, pampas grass, eucalyptus, and branches are all solid no-water options. Fresh-cut florals are equally at home for anyone who likes rotating arrangements.

Are vases for pampas grass different from regular vases? Taller, wider-necked vases show off the plumes best. A tall floor vase handles large bundles well; a mid-height ceramic suits smaller, trimmed stems.

What size vase works for an entryway table? A mid-height piece, roughly 10 to 16 inches, tends to sit in the right proportion for most entry tables. Taller options work if the ceiling height calls for it.

What’s the difference between ceramic and glass vases? Ceramic is heavier and more opaque, which gives it a warmer, grounded feel. Glass is lighter and airy, and allows the contents to be part of the look.

How do I style a group of vases? Vary the heights, keep the finishes in the same family, and use an odd number of pieces. A vase set is the easiest starting point, and accent tables and accent furniture are worth browsing for more surfaces to style.

How much do vases cost at Ashley Canada? Prices vary by size, material, and finish, with options across a range of price points.
