Colorful rubber vases, with their modern look, can spice up a small vestibule or foyer, according to the Real Simple website. The bendable material makes decorating creative as you can mold and shape rubber vases into funky shapes. Rubber vases are also practical, shatterproof pieces for high-traffic areas in your home.
If you prefer traditional vase styles, but fancy modern interpretations, look for ceramic looks with unusual textures and exotic details. Ceramic vases adorned with hand-glazed honeycomb patterns, hand-painted floral designs or handmade flower appliques will enliven your room and enhance the flowers they encase.
A more offbeat, abstract style of vases works well as a living room centerpiece or an all-around home accessory. Bring out a more quirky look in your home with chalkboard vases. These vases come in contemporary shapes like cones or cylinders. The vases add a little whimsy to a space with their chalkboard charm, lending themselves to sweet messages for loved ones or as a funky canvas for an aspiring artist at home.
