Many vases are made of glass but not all. Glass jars do not look as stylish as well made vases. A vase has several parts starting from a base or foot and sleek or voluminous body to curvy shoulders, elongated or short neck and an opening on the top known as the vase lip. These days different types of materials such as stone, wood, bamboo, mud and ceramic are being used for making vases. Glass jars can be used for holding flowers or colorful pebbles but they do not offer much in terms of variety.

In many homes, there are small passages that join two different living areas such as the dining space and living room. It is a clever idea to use a standalone vase of some height in this type of passages. Choose a tall and striking vase in color contrasting to the general color scheme. For example you can pick jet-black in a cream and beige room to break the monotony. There need not be anything inside the vase. If your passage is narrow then pick a vase, which is sleek and tall. You can place floor vases in many other areas of your home like beside the fireplace, on the corner of your sitting area or inside your bathroom. You can buy vases that hold dried stems or arrange some fresh white flowers inside a glass or crystal vase for a change.
