A Hint of Asia with a Bamboo Vase

Here's a little story about our bamboo vase...

We were looking for something cool, a large vase, an urn really. We found it and it fit great in our living room. We stood back and looked at it and it hit us...that's really an Asian style piece. That could pass for a bamboo!

Sometimes you don't even realize where a piece comes from - what it's history is. You just know you like it and you think it'll look good in your living room.

Here's a Great Example...

Above this paragraph is, in fact, a round lacquer bamboo vase from Boscov's.

No, we're not kidding! And yes we do know that there is no bamboo on this vase.

Despite all that, I think this would work pretty nicely in our living room. Put an artificial flower display or some sticks or wheat inside it. Put it on a sofa table, on top of an armoire, or off to the side of the fireplace.

It's that simple...

Some Other Great Looking Bamboo Vases

Great thing about this vase from The Bombay Company is that it comes in a small version (above) and a large version for the floor.

Look at the rich brown on this small bamboo vase. We think we're going to have to buy this one for our living room. Maybe we could get the small and large versions!

Never thought a bamboo vase could look so awesome did you?

How about something a bit funky? This one is a 29 in bamboo grain vase, but it fits the bill, nonetheless. Bellacor.com is the source for this one and this bamboo grain vase is also available in a more traditional 17 inch style and a larger bottleneck version.

This vase can go on so many different surfaces and be filled with so many different things - grass, wheat, flowers, sticks - and probably a few more things we can't even think of right now!

Yes, There Are Other Vases Out There...

With living room ideas, it's best not to get to dependent on one product or type of product. There are other types of vases out there, there are different things you can put in your vase, and there are different types of accent pieces out there.

Take a hurricane vase for example. It's elegant, very stylish, and super versatile. Not to mention we got one from Jen's sister for Christmas and we love it!!

We've got another favorite floor vase and its our tall floor vase. After we bought it and found decorative some branches to put in it, we discovered that maybe the branches could use some color. Well...a couple cans of bronze spray paint later...not only had we painted the branches, but we were a bit of a different color, too.

So many things can go in a vase. Jen particularly loves artificial arrangements. If you want to go with a more understated and natural look, how about an artificial house plant? These are also called topiaries - and they're available in all different types, shapes and sizes. Something still living more your fancy...no problem.

In that case, we would recommend an exotic house plant which doesn't mean that it has to look out of place. This could be as simple as an indoor jupiter. No foliage for you...another idea coming right up!

This may be a stretch, but after you see a couple of these, you just might agree that contemporary abstract sculpture is a great living room accent.

Just goes to show, there are always options...there are always great ideas when it comes vases and all kinds of other accents.
