I love my home to be filled with flowers and plants, so much so that I created some vases for my new Harris Scarfe collection. Rattan vases are my go-to at the moment; I love the simplicity of the design and the texture of the rattan. It works perfectly in my kitchen (and throughout my entire home, really!) as I am having a major green and cane moment!
A vase full of flowers! This simple and effective collection of Hydrangeas, Queen Annes Lace and Baby Kale make up this vase, proving you don't always have to go to a florist to fill your home with blooms. Head into your garden - pick your herbs and weeds and mix them all together for a rustic, garden-inspired Posie.
A classic way to keep your candles safe is to burn them in a vase. It keeps the flame away from wandering hands and creates a beautiful soft glow. I love this look en masse, where a dining table is filled with vased candles, and the light reflects off the plates, the cutlery and the stemware. It produces some lovely twinkling light and really is so simple to do.
Why not plant some flowers in your vase? People are often too scared to grow herbs or blooms in vessels without drainage - Me? I'm not so worried! Maybe I need to do it right, but if you don't overwater your flower, then what can go wrong? I love the look of mud through the glass side of the vase and think it looks even better with the rattan trellis style surrounding it.
TOP TIP! Don’t be scared of washing Rattan vases; give them a hot soapy rinse and leave them in the sun to dry. The sun will harden the rattan and keep it tightly connected to the glass vase.
