2 Decadent design

For a vase with lighter colouring, choose one that also features textured designs for an added pop. This pretty blue ceramic vase from Zara Home features a playful 3-D paisley design, and its larger size will allow it to hold taller floral arrangements.

3 Scoop it out

Rather than placing a single vase in the centre of your coffee or dining room table, invest in a set, and group them. This petite Bel Air Mini Scoop vase from Jonathan Adler will work in any room, and is available in several other colours if blue isn’t your bag.

4 True blue

Though denser, more earthy materials are a popular choice for vases, why not go with something more delicate, such as mouth-blown glass? This handmade Bud vase from Annabel James is available in a bright shade of cobalt blue, and will complement the most colourful of flowers.
