Large Vase Decoration Ideas for a Stylish Living Room
How to Elevate Your Space with Statement Vases
When it comes to decorating your living room, a single décor item can completely transform the space - and few pieces offer as much impact as a large vase. Whether you choose a luxury metal vase, an extra large floor-standing vase, or a beautifully textured terracotta floor vase, styling a statement vase is one of the simplest ways to add height, visual interest, and personality to your home.
At Vayu Earth, we believe that home décor should tell a story. Our handcrafted pieces are made ethically by skilled artisans using traditional craft techniques — every decorative vase we curate carries culture, heritage, and sustainability at its core.
If you’ve ever wondered how to decorate with a large vase without overwhelming your living room, this guide will inspire you with elegant and versatile styling ideas.
Why Choose a Large or Extra-Large Vase?
Large vases are more than just containers — they are sculptural works of art.
Here’s why they are so impactful in living room décor:
-
Instant focal point: A tall vase immediately draws attention and grounds the space visually.
-
Adds vertical height: Perfect for rooms with tall ceilings or large, empty walls.
-
Versatility: Works with greenery, pampas grass, branches, florals, or even empty as a statement piece.
-
Timeless investment: Unlike trendy décor pieces, a large vase feels classic and elegant year-round.
Whether you choose a minimalist decor vase, a rustic textured piece, or a contemporary metallic design, the right vase enhances the sophistication of your living room.
1. Style a Luxury Metal Vase in a Modern Living Room
A luxury metal vase works beautifully in modern, industrial, or minimalist interiors. The reflective surface adds a sense of opulence while keeping the space sleek and contemporary.
Styling Tips:
-
Place a tall, slim metal vase beside a sofa or console table to elongate the space.
-
Pair it with dried eucalyptus or tall reeds for a minimalist, sculptural effect.
-
Mix different metallic tones — brushed brass, matt black, or bronze — to create warmth and depth.
📌 Pro tip: Metallic vases look stunning near natural light, as the texture reflects sunlight and subtly brightens the room.
2. Use an Extra Large Floor Standing Vase for Dramatic Impact
If you’re aiming for a statement piece, there’s nothing more striking than an extra large floor-standing vase. Perfect for large living rooms or open-plan layouts, this type of vase becomes the artwork of the room.
Where to place it:
-
In an empty corner that needs elevation.
-
Beside a fireplace for balance and visual symmetry.
-
Next to a floor lamp or armchair to create a design vignette.
Many people look for floor vases at The Range, but a handcrafted, ethically sourced vase offers an entirely different level of uniqueness and quality. Mass-produced floor vases may be widely available, but artisan-made pieces carry heritage and are crafted to last.
3. Terracotta Floor Vase: Warm, Rustic & Earthy
Terracotta brings warmth and natural beauty to interior spaces. A terracotta floor vase suits rustic, bohemian, Mediterranean, and minimalist interiors because of its organic texture and earthy tones.
How to style a terracotta vase:
-
Add dried pampas grass, palm stems, or natural branches for a relaxed coastal look.
-
For a rustic living room, pair with a woven jute rug and natural wood accents.
-
Use a group of terracotta vases in varying heights for visual balance.
The raw, natural finish brings comfort and soul to a home — perfect for anyone who loves warm, grounded spaces.
4. Rustic Vase (Large) for Cosy Farmhouse or Boho Interiors
A rustic large vase adds character and charm to a living room. Textured surfaces such as hand-woven, clay, or distressed ceramic pair beautifully with cosy interiors.
Styling ideas:
-
Place a rustic vase on the floor beside a fireplace.
-
Use greenery like olive branches or cotton stems.
-
Style two large vases together — one patterned, one plain — to create contrast.
Rustic vases truly shine when styled next to tactile materials like linen sofas, jute storage baskets, or wooden coffee tables.
5. Create a Vase Trio for Designer-Style Symmetry
Interior stylists often recommend the “rule of three” when decorating. Instead of choosing one vase, combine three vases in varying heights and textures — especially around the TV console, entryway, or shelving.
Example trio arrangement:
| Vase Type | Finish | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Tall floor vase | Terracotta | Floor, beside sofa |
| Medium vase | Metal or glass | Console table |
| Small decorative vase | Ceramic patterned | Bookshelf |
By mixing materials — natural jute baskets, rustic clay, smooth metal — the entire room feels curated and balanced.
6. Make It Functional: Vases as Storage

Yes — large vases can also be functional.
-
Use a large vase as an umbrella stand near the entrance.
-
Store rolled throws or blankets in an empty vase near the sofa.
-
Fill the vase with seasonal stems that can be updated throughout the year.
This works especially well with extra-large floor vases and terracotta styles.
7. Add Fresh or Seasonal Flowers to a Decorative Vase
A decor vase can completely transform depending on what you display:
-
Spring → cherry blossom branches
-
Summer → hydrangeas or sunflowers
-
Autumn → pampas grass or dried wheat
-
Winter → pine branches
Even a minimalist living room gains warmth and colour with the right seasonal arrangement.
