Collection: Decorative Vase

Fresh flowers, soft candlelight or just a beautiful shape - pieces that make a corner feel alive.

Decorative Flower Vases & Candle Holders for Every Room

A vase is the quickest way to change the mood of a room. A few stems on a console, a single bloom on a bedside table, a sculptural vase left empty on a shelf - each tells guests that a home is cared for. At Whites & Pastels, our decorative vase collection brings together glossy white ceramic vases, thick coloured glass vases, minimalist reed vases and small borosilicate bud vases, alongside tealight holders, lanterns and hurricane candle stands that bring the same softness after dark.

What Are the Trending Vases Right Now?

The vases people are choosing today share a few traits. Sculptural white ceramic - shells, ribbed and organic shapes - looks good with or without flowers. Coloured and textured glass, like wave patterns in soft pastels, catches light beautifully. Small bud vases grouped in threes replace one large arrangement. And dried stems and pampas grass in neutral vases give a low-maintenance, all-year look. Our White Ceramic Shell Vases and Glass Vase with Wave Pattern tick all of these boxes.

Choosing the Right Vase

Think about what you'll put in it and where it will sit. Tall vases suit long-stemmed flowers and floor-level corners; small vases suit single blooms, bedside tables and dining tables where guests need to see each other. Glass shows off stems and water; ceramic hides them and reads as sculpture even when empty.

Vases & Candle Holders - Find What You Need

Ceramic Flower Vases

The White Ceramic Shell Vases are shaped like seashells with a pearl detail and fine curves, in a smooth, glossy white finish that suits modern, coastal and minimalist interiors. The set of three includes a small 5.5-inch, a medium 6.6-inch and a large 8-inch vase - style them together as a centrepiece or separately on shelves and side tables. The small vase is also sold on its own.

The White Conical Vase with Reed Sticks is a chic 4 × 4 inch white vase that comes with two reed sticks - a curved wooden reed with a flower and a polyester reed. Use it as a decorative vase on a tray, or add your favourite reed diffuser oil for a natural fragrance diffuser.

Glass Vases

The Luxury Glass Vase with Wave Pattern is thick, high-quality glass with a sculpted wave pattern that adds depth and light. Standing 27 cm tall with an 18 cm diameter, it holds generous fresh or artificial bouquets, in lime yellow or dusty pink - a statement flower vase for the living room. For small blooms, the Borosilicate Glass Pomegranate Vase comes in 10 cm and 6 cm sizes or as a set of two, and the Penguin-Shaped Glass Vase in borosilicate glass holds small flowers or cocktail picks.

Reed Diffuser Vases

A reed diffuser fills a room with gentle fragrance without a flame. The White Conical Vase comes with two reed sticks; pour in your favourite diffuser oil, insert the reeds and flip them every few days to refresh the scent. It sits beautifully on a bathroom shelf, bedside table or decorative tray.

Candle Holders, Candle Stands & Tealight Holders

The Hanging Tealight Candle Holder Lantern includes a 4.5-inch glass vase, a gold tealight holder and a detachable 12-inch chain; with scalloped edges, it works as a hanging lantern, a tealight holder or a vase for flowers and water, indoors or outdoors. The Glass Tea Light Lantern is crafted from stained glass with frosted, textured and embossed panels in a brass-finish frame, creating a soft glow and beautiful reflections.

For the table, the Pillar Candle with Glass Hurricane & Brass Coaster includes a beige pillar candle, a borosilicate glass hurricane that shields the flame from breezes and fans, and a pure brass base that doubles as a coaster. The Crystal Flower Hurricane Candle Holders are a set of two with shimmering crystal flowers, gold-finished metal and glass shades. The White Ceramic Lotus Tea Light Holder has layered ivory-white petals and a gold centre - lovely on a coffee table or in a pooja corner.

Diwali & Festive Decor with Candles and Vases

Festivals are when vases and candle holders really shine. Fill vases with marigolds and tuberose, set the Lotus Tea Light Holder in the pooja corner, hang the Tealight Lantern by the entrance and place hurricane candle stands on the dining table. Grouping candles of different heights on a tray creates a warm, safe display that glows all evening.

Candle Safety Tips

• Use a hurricane or lantern near fans, windows and balconies - glass shields the flame from breezes.
• Keep candles away from curtains, dried flowers and paper decor.
• Never leave candles burning unattended.
• Place on a heat-safe base such as a brass coaster or ceramic holder.

How to Display Vases in Your Home

• Group in odd numbers: three vases of different heights look more natural than a matching pair.
• Vary height and texture: mix a tall glass vase with small ceramic ones.
• Use a tray as a base: a tray pulls a group of vases and candles together into one display.
• Leave some empty: sculptural ceramic vases look finished on shelves without flowers.
• Think about light: glass vases shine near a window; candles glow best on a low table.

Where to Place a Vase

• Console or entryway: one tall vase with a low tray and a candle.
• Living room: a statement vase on the coffee table or a side table by the sofa.
• Dining table: small vases or low arrangements.
• Bedside: a single stem in a bud vase.
• Balcony: a hanging lantern-vase for flowers by day and candlelight by night.

What to Put in a Vase

• Fresh flowers: roses, lilies, tuberose (rajnigandha) and marigolds all last well in water.
• Dried stems and pampas grass: low-maintenance and perfect for ceramic vases.
• Single stems: one orchid or rose in a bud vase feels deliberate and elegant.
• Greenery: money plant cuttings grow happily in a glass vase of water.
• Nothing at all: a beautiful vase can stand alone as sculpture.

Vase Size Guide

As a rule of thumb, flowers should stand about one and a half to two times the height of the vase for a balanced look.

How to Keep Flowers Fresh Longer

• Trim stems at an angle before placing them in water.
• Remove leaves that sit below the waterline.
• Change the water every two days and rinse the vase.
• Keep away from direct sun, fruit bowls and AC vents.
