Unexpected containers add interest to this spare tabletop.

Bold orange blooms pair with lush greenery in this room. A fabric container elevates the look of a humble houseplant, while individual dahlia stems are contained in an asymmetrical white vase. When using fabric or paper containers for plants, be sure to line the container with plastic, or use a saucer to prevent water from soaking through.

A stainless-steel countertop gives this country kitchen a contemporary vibe.

Vintage wood signs, exposed black iron hinges, old metal buckets as vases and a ticking-striped fabric Roman shade all read as country. Paired with white walls, a sleek countertop and drop sink with on-trend painted grey cabinets, however, the look is clean and fresh.

Unusual glass containers take centre stage with these airy arrangements.

Add sparkle to your table with elegant glass vases like the unique examples shown here. Their narrow, long necks are perfect for supporting flower stems, making it easy to display flowers with plenty of height. Choose flowers such as delphinium and gladiolus, which offer gorgeous blossoms on stiff stems, to create a similar look.

Put flowers in a powder room for added romance.

A white space gets a shot of colour with this simple vase of pink roses. Placing bouquets in unexpected places, such as the bathroom, adds life and interest to vignettes and tablescapes. To make flowers last longer, be sure to strip all foliage from the stems; while it may look pretty, leaves rot underwater, and the bacteria shorten flower life.

Try this easy take on terrariums.

Place flowering bulbs and leafy ferns inside clear, oversized jars. A few blossoms would look equally elegant inside glass vessels like these; either place an inch of water in the bottom and let the flowers relax against the sides, or fill the vessel to the top and “drown” the entire bloom.

Turn recycled containers into gorgeous flower displays.

Single flower stems look beautiful when displayed in colourful bottles. For maximum effect, place an arrangement in the windowsill, where sunlight will make the bottles gleam. Watch our video on how to make these DIY bottle vases. If you make them, be sure to use a florist’s water tube on the end of each stem for long lasting flowers.

Delicate blossoms add romantic appeal to a neutral living room.

Dress up a clean-lined space with a chic arrangement.

A modest arrangement of white tulips suits this spare dining room perfectly. The flowers relax gracefully over the edge of the vase, emphasizing the casual feel of the room and providing visual relief from the heavy black tabletop.

Lilacs, forsythia and other flowering branches make interesting cuttings.

Beautiful hydrangea blooms make a bright centerpiece to this charming dresser vignette. Stripping the leaves from the bottom half of the branches keeps the look airy and light. When using flowering branches or other top-heavy flowers, choose a vase that won’t tip over, like the round vase shown here.
