Vases & Botanicals

A vase of stems or a faux botanical is the finishing touch that brings life and a sculptural moment to any surface. Shop designer-curated vases, faux florals, and greenery for the table, mantel, and shelf.

About Vases & Botanicals

How to choose a vase for your stems

Match the vase to the stems: tall, structural branches want a heavy, tall vase; loose garden stems suit a rounded bud vase or pitcher; a single bloom shines in a slim bud vase. As a rule, the arrangement should be about 1.5–2 times the vase's height for balanced proportions.

Real vs. faux botanicals

High-quality faux stems and branches have come a long way—they bring year-round greenery with no upkeep, ideal for high shelves and low-light spots. Real stems add fragrance and life for a dining table or entry. Many designers mix: faux for permanent styling, fresh for a quick refresh.

Styling with greenery and branches

Greenery softens hard surfaces and adds organic shape. Use tall branches (olive, eucalyptus, magnolia) to add height to a console or mantel, and smaller arrangements to finish a coffee-table tray or shelf. Odd numbers and varied heights look most natural.

Grouping vases as a collection

A cluster of vases in varied heights and a shared material or tone reads like a curated collection, even empty. Group three on a tray or mantel, mixing shapes—a tall cylinder, a round vessel, a small bud vase—for an effortless, gallery-like vignette.

What stems add height to a console?

Tall branches like olive, eucalyptus, or magnolia bring sculptural height; pair them with a heavy, tall vase so it stays balanced.
