Who doesn’t love vases? Every home has flower vases, from rich to poor. And we receive decorative vases as gifts on many occassions. Using vases for flowers is just one way of using them as decorative item, there plenty of others which can be use to get the most of them. So, if you already have vases you want to repurpose, or you’re looking to get a few new ones to add as decor pieces around your home, here are a few creative and imaginative ways of using them.
1. Grow a plant – especially bamboo. Vases can be used as planters. You can add water and grow a wide variety of plants, but bamboo plants need water and a constricted space to grow well. A vase is perfect for that.

2. For your nail polishes. Use a tall vase to display all your nail polishes. Keep it on your mirrored dresser for a colourful addition to your dressing space.
3. Arrange fruits in it. Instead of using any old boring glass bowl, use a pretty colored wide-mouthed vase to display fruit on your dining table.

9. Dreams. That’s right. Write down your dreams on pretty coloured paper, and put them in a vase during your birthday. Check them again on your next birthday to see how many you fulfilled.
10. Succulent holders. Since succulents don’t need to be watered frequently, you can grow them in vases. Layer rice, pebbles, and if you want, soil mix in coloured vases. And display your cute succulents around the house.

11. Happiness jar. Like the dream idea, use a vase in a bright colour to store your happy moments. Every time something nice happens, write it on paper and pop it into the vase. Do this every new year.
12. Marble holder. Marbles are fascinating with their swirls and colours. But not that fascinating when you step on one. Store loose marbles (even of different sizes) in a vase. Handy when you need them, and it looks unique.
