Hamptons vases or vessels

Hamptons décor favors vases with classic lines and natural materials. Popular choices are white or pale-blue ceramic vases, clear or aquamarine glass vessels, or terracotta in light, muted tones. Look for coastal motifs: fluted urns, simple jug shapes, or even glass demijohns. Large floor vases (for tall branches) or clusters of small vases (to hold wildflowers or eucalyptus) both fit the scheme. The simplicity of the vase’s design often complements the serene color palette.

Use vases as focal points by filling them with organic elements. Place one on a dining table or console with fresh white flowers or a bundle of dried grasses. On a mantle or shelf, a ceramic vase can hold greenery (like a palm leaf) to echo beach plants. You can also leave a vessel empty if it has an interesting shape or glaze – for example, a chunky pottery jug looks lovely on a side table. Grouping two or three vases of varying heights but similar colors can create a pleasing coastal vignette.

Absolutely. In a Hamptons home, a decorative vessel can also act as a tray or storage for lightweight items. For instance, a large bowl-shaped vessel might hold rolled guest towels in a bathroom. Clear glass vases can double as wine coolers at a seaside dinner. Even empty, a striking blue glass vase or a shell-adorned ceramic jar will hold space like a piece of art. The key is choosing shapes and finishes that harmonize with coastal textures: glazed whites, pale blues or natural earth tones.
