Black Modern Vases With Unique Details

Add a bit of personality and quirk to your home with these unique, modern black vases. I searched the interwebs high and low to find some showstopper vessels. As you may have noticed, these table vases aren’t necessarily budget-friendly. In fact, I had a difficult time finding any under $25, and when I tell you I searched, I legit scoured Target, Amazon, and Walmart. But this is where my tips for decorating on a budget come in handy. Find your investment pieces – the ones with shazam – and decorate the rest with affordable decor.

Modern Footed Vases And Bowls

Never underestimate the traditionally designed footed compote bowl. Their low profile is perfect on a kitchen countertop or a coffee table, or pop one on a small stack of books. This black-footed bowl is one of my absolute favorites, and I know this because it’s never rotated to another spot in the house. Sometimes it sits empty as a statement piece, but lately, this faux plant has made a home nestled inside.

Vintage Inspired Urns Are Trending

These vintage-inspired urns have a classic look that never go out of style, and over the last couple of years, they have been trending hard in the world of interior design. I managed to snag mine at an estate sale a few years ago, but now you can find them in retail stores. Style them empty on a shelfie, or fill them with a few faux olive tree branches to add decorative flair to the kitchen.

Unique Modern Vases With Personality

One design lesson I’ve learned over the years is to edit. You don’t need floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, nor do you need a lot of knick-knacks. Edit (a nicer word for declutter) and curate your vignettes with fewer things. Add statement pieces like these unique modern vases I’ve rounded up, and add a couple of decorative boxes to hide the necessary items like remote controls.

This wouldn’t be a comprehensive list if I didn’t mention shopping vintage and thrift stores. Even though vintage is technically old, it can be modern. Dream up the weirdest-looking vase, and there is probably a similar one out there somewhere. If you have the luxury of time to decorate your home, try shopping at an estate sale near you or a flea market. I’ve found so many bonkers good statement vases when shopping secondhand.
