Adding Flowers To Your Home Can Make A Huge Visual Difference

It’s a fact that as our population has grown over the last couple of hundred years so have our towns and cities, to the point where all you can see for miles in some instances is brickwork, roads, windows, doors, traffic, and people. In fact, when this writer was a boy 80 years ago, the population of the UK was 50 million. Today it is 67 million – and growing faster than ever. That is a one third increase in just one lifetime!

This is why at weekends and on holidays so many people go out into the countryside, which is where our natural world exists. Yes, some cities do have parks, but it is not the same as being among Mother Nature. So, the way that many people handle this when living in a city is by buying flowers. They can make an amazing difference to your home and bring nature indoors.

Of course, when it comes to flowers there are many options. Take a visit to your local florist and you will have a large selection. Lots of supermarkets also offer flowers today.

£1.00 Per Bunch!

You can spend as little or as much as you wish. Flowers that are in season are the least expensive. Right now, for example, our local supermarket has bunches of daffodils for sale for £1.00 per bunch. It doesn’t get a lot cheaper than that, and those daffs will last for a week. Take them home, cut off the bottom of the stems at an angle, and pop them in crystal glass vases and they will look absolutely stunning all by themselves.

You don’t have to stop at daffodils. There are roses, snowdrops, bluebells, hyacinths, lavender, sweet peas, and many more. Not all are grown in the UK, but many are – in glasshouses. Having flowers around you in the home can make a very big difference to the ambience in a room. This is even better when you choose the right vases in which to display them.

Crystal glass vases have that trick of refracting the light and making them seem sparkling, and so they add to the overall appearance of the flowers. They catch the eye in a way that ordinary glass, or pottery, cannot do. Not only that, but crystal glass vases may be engraved with patterns on them that add to the overall appeal and they can be moulded in many different shapes.

5 Creative Ways Of Using Your Crystal Glass Vases

Crystal glass vases are a perfect addition to your home. But can you just use them to keep a bunch of fresh flowers? No! The mantra of home decor lies in innovative and out-of-the-box ideas. You may not need too many items to style up your home. Just a few do the trick. Here is a list of five creative ideas for using a crystal glass vase other than the traditional method.

1. Use it to hold fruits: Fruit bowls are commonly used to keep fruits in the kitchen or dining table. How about you try something different? You can take a long, wide crystal vase and add your fruits. You can also create a theme with all your favourite citrus fruits.
2. Turn your vase in a succulent holder: Succulents are low-maintenance plants and can be kept anywhere in the house. If you have a study, decorate it with succulents in a crystal glass bud vase. Bud vases are short vases perfect for centrepieces. You can add pebbles and soil mix and display your cute succulents around the house.
3. Keep candies for your guests: Do not have a fancy bowl? No worries. Reuse your crystal glass vases to store candies for your guests on the coffee table. For this, you can use a cylinder vase. It will also add a pop of colour, and your friends will talk about your out-of-the-box decor ideas for days to come. This will also make great decor during Halloween parties. 
4. Make some magic floating candles: Do regular candles sound boring? Here is an idea to use your crystal vases as floating candles. Throw in some clear orbeez and fill the vase with water. Leave some space at the top. The clear orbeez (absorbent beads) will absorb water, grow into squishy balls and turn invisible in the water. Now take a floating candle (preferably in white), and place it on the water. You will have got a DIY floating candle in no time. You can add beads and pebbles for a dramatic effect.
5. Grow a plant: China bamboo does not need soil but requires plenty of water and a constricted place to grow. Vases are perfect for them. Add some pebbles and water, and place the bamboo. Keep it in any corner of the house. 

Let your imagination run wild with a vast collection of crystal glass vases at Brierley Crystal Hill. We offer the best vases in different shapes, so you never run out of choices.
