A human-shaped vase combines the functions of a flower vase and a decorative sculpture in a contemporary interior. A design inspired by a human face, body or silhouette gives the room an individual and artistic character.
This type of vase is an especially good choice for anyone looking for a more distinctive decorative object instead of a traditionally shaped flower vase. The ADELYO decorative vase collection includes contemporary models that can be used for flowers or displayed as standalone interior accents.
```What is a human-shaped vase?
```A human-shaped vase is a decorative vase that incorporates elements of a human face, body, torso, hands or silhouette into its design. Some models reproduce realistic forms, while others have a more abstract and minimalist appearance.
Unlike a conventional flower vase, a human-shaped vase attracts attention even when it is empty. For this reason, it is often used as a small art object or a sculptural decorative element.
This type of vase reflects several contemporary interior-design trends:
- the use of sculptural and organic shapes;
- the combination of art and functional decor;
- the creation of one distinctive accent in a minimalist space;
- the personalisation of an interior;
- the use of unusual shapes and textures.
Which interior styles suit a human-shaped vase?
```Contemporary interior
In a contemporary space, a human-shaped vase can become the room's main decorative accent. It works well with simple furniture, clean lines and neutral colours.
Minimalist interior
A minimalist interior contains a limited number of objects, making their shape and visual significance especially important. One human-shaped vase may be enough to decorate a shelf, console or table.
Art Deco style
In an Art Deco interior, a human-shaped vase works well with gold details, dark colours, glossy surfaces and geometric forms. A bolder and more expressive model can be used in this type of space.
Eclectic interior
An eclectic interior makes it possible to combine objects from different styles. A human-shaped vase can be paired with vintage books, a contemporary lamp, colourful textiles or another sculptural decorative object.
```Where should you place a human-shaped vase?
```On a television unit
A television unit is one of the suitable places for displaying a human-shaped vase. Position the vase beside the screen and leave enough open space around it to prevent the arrangement from appearing overcrowded.
On a console
A human-shaped vase placed on an entrance or living-room console can easily attract the attention of guests. It can be combined with a mirror, table lamp or small decorative object.
On a bookshelf
The vase can be placed beside books arranged vertically or horizontally. The books will highlight the height and shape of the vase while giving the overall composition a more organised appearance.
On a coffee table
A small or medium-sized human-shaped vase is more suitable for a coffee table. It is important that the object does not occupy too much of the surface or interfere with everyday use.
On a bedroom chest of drawers
For a bedroom, choose a vase with a calmer colour and softer, rounded shapes. It can be decorated with one or two delicate flowers or a decorative branch.
```How to use a human-shaped vase without flowers
```One of the main advantages of a human-shaped vase is that it does not require flowers. Its sculptural shape is decorative and expressive enough to stand on its own.
When displaying the vase without flowers, leave open space around it. Placing too many small objects nearby may hide its form and distinctive design.
For a simple composition, you can combine:
- a human-shaped vase and two books;
- a vase and a decorative candle;
- a vase and a small table lamp;
- two decorative vases in different sizes;
- a vase displayed alone on an uncluttered surface.
Which flowers suit a human-shaped vase?
```Since a human-shaped vase already has a distinctive design, it is better to keep the flower arrangement simple and light. An oversized or brightly coloured bouquet may hide the shape of the vase.
Suitable options include:
- one long decorative branch;
- several thin artificial flowers;
- dried grasses;
- a small monochrome bouquet;
- one flower in a contrasting colour.
The colour of the flowers can match the surface of the vase or create a contrasting accent. For example, a brightly coloured flower will stand out more clearly in a neutral-coloured vase.
```How to choose the colour of a human-shaped vase
```When selecting a colour, consider the room's main colour palette and the surface where you intend to place the vase.
White and beige vase
Light and neutral colours are versatile. They suit minimalist, Scandinavian and contemporary interiors. A white vase is especially effective on a dark wooden or black surface.
Black vase
A black human-shaped vase creates a clear and graphic interior accent. It looks effective against a light wall, on white furniture or on a natural wooden surface.
Gold or glossy details
A gold or glossy surface gives the space a more elegant and decorative appearance. This type of model can be coordinated with the colour of a lamp, mirror frame or furniture handles.
```How to combine a human-shaped vase with other vases
```A human-shaped vase should remain the main accent within the composition. It is best to place a smaller vase with a simpler shape beside it.
For example, a human-shaped vase can be paired with a simple vase made from a similar material or featuring a similar colour. Different heights will make the composition more interesting and balanced.
When the human-shaped model is tall, place a low decorative vase beside it. If the main model is small, you can display it on top of books to add height to the arrangement.
```A human-shaped vase as a gift
```A human-shaped vase is an interesting gift for someone who enjoys art, contemporary design and unusual interior objects. Unlike an ordinary gift, this type of decor combines a practical purpose with visual appeal.
It can be given as a gift:
- for a birthday;
- for moving into a new home;
- for a wedding or engagement;
- to someone interested in art;
- to an interior-design enthusiast;
- to a woman or man who enjoys unusual decor.
