Some people perceive vases as souvenirs, gifts for anniversaries or ordinary flower stands. But there are those who have good taste and are sure that the vases are created in order to bring shine and perfection to the interior. A Chinese vase is best for this.
A bit of history
Since ancient times, people have wanted to make their home not only safe and warm, but also comfortable, harmonious and cozy. For centuries, Chinese floor vases have played a significant role in this. They can be made of various materials - marble, porcelain, ceramics and glass. Even in ancient world cultures, vases were used quite widely, and still remain in demand elements of modern decor. For example, in the XVIII century, a floor vase was often used to decorate a noble house - porcelain Chinese paraphernalia was and remains that detail that meets the idea of the prestige of court etiquette. Later, beautiful and elegant, but less valuable ceramic vases appeared.
Regardless of religion and culture, both poor and rich people decorated their home with these elegant objects. The Chinese vase was often compared to a female silhouette.
Big choice
Today, there are a lot of fashionable stylistic trends in the interior, and of course, each of them has its own accessories, including vases. The interior, which, for example, is tied to the oriental style, cannot do without such a detail as a Chinese vase. Like the decorative vessels of other cultures, the design of Chinese containers is an image consisting of traditional representations of the people. Often images on products tell about beauty, happiness and love. Sometimes a Chinese vase is decorated with stories that tell about friendship or contain symbols of health and high standing in the company of the owner of the interior item. A tiger, elephant or dragon is also in most cases present on the paintings of these accessories - such plots symbolize the strength and power that will be given to the owner of such an item. According to the wise and ancient theory of harmony - Feng Shui, a symbol or drawing is quite capable of changing our life for the better.
Floor vases
For a long time already in the decoration of a modern house use floor options. Usually they reach a height of forty to seventy centimeters. Putting smaller vases on the floor is not worth it. They are best used by placing them on a low cabinet or shelf. A Chinese vase with a coarse-grained texture and slightly dull shade will look very good on the floor. Such an element will fit perfectly into the interior with shiny parquet or soft carpet pile. Floor vases should be located near the chair, in between the furniture, if there is enough space and the item will not be clamped in a narrow space. Also, a very good Chinese porcelain vase will look in the corner of the room or near the window against a wide curtain that will cover the entire wall from the ceiling to the floor. But it is important that the color and texture of the subject is in harmony with the decor of the room. If you have a colorful carpet in your room or a dark decorative fabric is present, a vase with soft, soft colors will look perfect. But for a room with light furniture and light curtains - a beautiful contrast will create a vase made in black or thick red. In every house, apartment or office, such an accessory will serve as a decorative and artistic detail . In a vase, you can put a luxurious bouquet of fresh or artificial flowers.
Vases in the interior
In a densely furnished and small room, a floor vase will not look very good, but it will successfully decorate a spacious room with a minimal set of furniture. In small rooms it is better to put decorative Chinese porcelain vases. If these items are placed on bookshelves so that they do not obscure the books, such decoration would be very appropriate. In a limited and dark space, the silhouette is most striking, not the painting or color, so for such cases it is better to choose vases with a clear outline. Small vases are suitable for a small table, but on the dining table you need to pick up one large vase with fruit or flowers. On a coffee table, which is lower compared to others, looks round and small or tall, but narrow vase. There is one more nuance: you should not arrange the vases symmetrically, on the contrary - a chaotic order will bring diversity to the composition. A wide ceramic vase in combination with a narrow and high one, which can be decorated with a large sink or a ceramic candlestick, looks advantageous.
Now very popular are Chinese porcelain vases of geometric shapes. Such models provide ample opportunities for a fantasy flight. The technique of decorating or painting such products is different - it can be sea shells, moss-covered balls and even dry flower petals. All elements are located on the outside of the vase and can decorate any interior. In order for the room, house or study to look peaceful and deliver tangible pleasure from contemplating it, you should be creative in including choosing and arranging vases. Before you purchase any collection of Chinese vases, ask yourself the following questions: “How will it look against the background of other decor elements?”; “Where will the product stand and can the size of the room provide the vase with the winning position it deserves?”
