Making a house a home: a vase less ordinary
February 9th, 2009
Even a simple vase can become beautiful with the right flower in it. This one right here for example, can bring some oriental elegance to any living room. I love how the red flower just sets off the clean lines and crisp colour of the vase.

Having said that, why not use your vase as an ice-breaker? The following are excellent conversation pieces. First off, for the ecologically minded, what better material for a vase than recycled newspapers? Apart from the fact that it reduces waste it also looks pretty cool!

This next vase is just too 007 not to be included here…

And while we’re on the subject of things you wouldn’t normally think of using as vases, who would have thought that a fish could smell like flowers!

And finally, my favourite. As the two pieces of this vase, created by industrial designer Alessandro Beda, are separate, you can make it as long or short as you want. It really is a gorgeously unusual vase!
