It's the best way to display those fresh blooms.
As shopping-savvy design editors, we're big fans of any way to get the "bougie on a budget" look. Sometimes, all it takes to completely refresh a room is a thrifty accessory with a little pizazz. A great throw pillow, a cute accent lamp, or a chic rug can all change the vibe of a room, and you don't have to spend big to find something stylish. Right now, we're focused on one of the best ways to maximize your counter appeal: a statement vase.
A nice vase is a household essential, especially if you're someone who likes to bring home fresh blooms once in a while. You can always re-purpose a glass pitcher, but you'd be missing out on the opportunity to play with color and texture. Not a lot of counter space? Go for a mini bud vase to hold a few colorful flowers. But if you've got the vertical real estate, a taller vase that has a hammered metal or woven rattan exterior can be a great way to add visual interest to your room. There are even styles reminiscent of Greek amphora vases.
A great decorative vase can stand empty, too. Balanced with some coffee table books or art, it elevates a shelving unit or console table in a snap. And, unlike a new piece of furniture, it won't break the bank. Below, we rounded up some of the most stylish vases on the market, all $25 or under—they're the perfect excuse to treat yourself.
