In simple terms, a small vase is a compact decorative container designed to hold flowers, plants, or even serve as a standalone decorative piece. Typically measuring under 20cm in height, small vases are perfect for tabletops, shelves, desks, or windowsills where space is limited. Here’s why Australians love small vases: they bring instant charm, texture, and style to any room without overwhelming your space.
Small vases aren’t just functional—they’re a statement. Whether used for fresh blooms, dried flowers, or minimalistic décor, they offer versatility and elegance in a subtle package. House of Isabella Australia curates an exclusive selection of small vases that combine unique design, premium materials, and fast delivery across the country.
Small vases come in an array of styles, materials, and shapes. Here’s a concise guide to what you’ll find on the Australian market:
Glass Small Vases
Transparent or tinted, ideal for modern, minimalist interiors.

Selecting a small vase isn’t just about size—it’s about function, design, and space compatibility. Here’s a practical guide:
Consider the Space
For desks or narrow shelves, choose vases under 15cm.
For dining tables or console tables, slightly taller small vases (15–20cm) work well.
Match the Material to Your Interior
Glass: Minimalist, Scandinavian, modern homes.
Ceramic: Warm, contemporary, or rustic interiors.
Metallic: Luxurious or industrial spaces.
Think About Flower Types
Single-stem flowers like roses or lilies suit narrow-necked small vases.
Small bouquets or dried arrangements require slightly wider openings.
Check Stability
Heavy bases prevent tipping when holding water or blooms.
Stone or thick ceramic options are ideal for high-traffic areas.
Colour Coordination
Neutral tones fit any décor and allow flowers to pop.
Bold colours add a statement element to your styling.
Small vases are more than just decorative—they enhance your home in multiple ways:
Versatility: Use them on dining tables, bedside tables, kitchen islands, or bathrooms.
Space-Saving: Perfect for apartments or compact spaces where large décor items aren’t practical.
Decorative Layering: Combine multiple small vases in varying heights and textures for a designer-inspired display.
Floral Focus: Highlight individual flowers or delicate stems without overwhelming the arrangement.
Gift-Worthy: Small vases make thoughtful gifts for weddings, housewarmings, or birthdays.

Organic Shapes
Asymmetrical and rounded vases are dominating interior styling.
Perfect for natural, flowing floral arrangements.
Matte Finishes
Matte ceramic and stone finishes are a must-have for 2025.
Neutral & Earthy Tones
Beiges, muted greens, and soft terracotta complement the Australian design aesthetic.
Miniature Groupings
Instead of one large vase, Australians are styling clusters of small vases for layered visual interest.
Sustainable Materials
Stone, recycled glass, and eco-friendly ceramics are increasingly popular, aligning with conscious home décor choices.
To get the most from your small vases, consider these practical tips:
Layer Multiple Vases: Group 3–5 vases in different textures or shades for a dynamic table display.
Single-Stem Focus: Highlight a unique flower like a protea or rose in a narrow-necked vase for impact.
Mix with Decorative Items: Pair vases with candles, books, or small sculptures for a curated shelf.
Seasonal Styling: Rotate flowers seasonally for an ever-changing, fresh look.
Minimalist Corners: Even a single small vase can anchor a corner or entryway elegantly.
