This Weird Home Décor Trend Is Showing Up All Over My Feed, and I Like It
Furniture sure sets the stage when it comes to decorating, but I'd argue it's the accouterments that really matter. Without those smaller design elements like artwork, plants, or decor objects, a room just feels devoid of personality. Right now in the midst of redecorating my apartment, I can't get enough of weird, funky vases. From Pinterest to Instagram, my digital mood boards are stuffed with images of shelves and coffee tables adorned with off-kilter vases in wacky geometric shapes and patterns. They're not the type of objects you'd immediately think of as conventionally pretty–and that's the beauty of it.
From London based Completedworks' lumpy ceramic vase to Anissa Kermiche's wildly popular body-positive sculptures, these vessels are eye-catching works of art in their own right. While a fresh bouquet of flowers may be an age-old trick to liven up a space, throwing them in a cool, whimsical vase brings it to a whole other level. In the interest of sharing (and also because I can't let my months of window-shopping go to waste), I've compiled a list of all the unique, weird vases I'm thoroughly excited about. Keep scrolling to see and shop them all.
Dinosaur Designs' resin objects are a feast for the eyes.
If supporting small business is a priority, check out NYC based ceramic label Mellow.
Danish brand Raawii is a name to know if you love bright objects and clean, minimal shapes.
Anissa Kermiche's body-positive sculptures and vases are a cult favorite. They don't come cheap, but it's a worthy investment if something spectacular is the aim.
For anyone looking for exceptionally whimsical pieces, look no further than design duo W&S, also known as Wang & Söderström.
Constructed out of New Zealand wool, here's a vase you'll be tempted to touch.
Fluid, abstract shaped vases are trending big within the home decor space–this one from brand Completedworks is simplistic elegance at its finest.
This cute, bubbly vase comes in several colors, but we can't get over this gorgeous shade of teal.
Made out of upcycled plastic, each vessel is a limited edition one-off piece that's literally a work of art.
A fresh, circular vase is the perfect finishing touch to any bookcase or floating shelf.
Definitely a splurge, but if you're going to go big, here's a vase we agree should be at the top of your list.

Indya Brown is a fashion editor, stylist, and writer living in Los Angeles. While going to school at Columbia University in New York City, she got her feet wet in the fashion industry interning at Elle magazine, Harper's Bazaar, and New York magazine's The Cut. After graduating in 2016, she joined The Cut as a fashion assistant, eventually working her way up to fashion editor. There, she worked on a multitude of projects, including styling inbook feature stories for New York magazine's print issue, writing and pitching market stories for The Cut, and serving as fashion lead for The Cut's branded content. While New York has been her home for over 10 years, she moved to Los Angeles in the midst of the pandemic in 2020 for a new chapter. Now she is a fashion market editor for Who What Wear, focusing on emerging designers, rising trends on and off the internet, interior design, and BIPOC creatives and brands. Aside from her duties as a fashion market editor, Brown is also a freelance stylist and writer, working on national print and video commercial campaigns for Sephora, The Independent, and Cadillac. Her bylines also include Harper's Bazaar, Vox, and The New York Times. But once the computer goes down and the emails turn off, she's likely eating her way through Koreatown, hunting down vintage furniture, scoping out new outrageous nail designs to try, or taking a hot cycling class.
