How to Style Sculptural Vases: A Mood Board Guide by Studio by Ferni
At Studio by Ferni, each piece is designed to bring soul, personality, and timeless craftsmanship into any space. To help you imagine how our sculptural vases might look in real spaces, we’ve put together mood boards that pair our designs with complementary furniture, art, and objects from other makers. Think of these as styling blueprints: not rigid rules, but sources of inspiration that highlight the versatility of each piece.
Studio by Ferni Arah Vase: Sculptural Vase for Global-Inspired Interiors
In our first mood board, the Arah Vase becomes the sculptural centerpiece. Its bold and unique shape makes it as much an artwork as a functional vessel. The Arah Vase takes on the role of a timeless artifact, as if unearthed from history and reimagined for contemporary living. Its bold silhouette and grainy finish give it a presence that feels both ancient and modern, a piece that naturally commands attention. When styled with global-inspired art, textured textiles, and earthy tones, this decorative vase becomes more than an accessory. It becomes a storyteller, grounding the room with a sense of depth and cultural memory. The Arah Vase transforms everyday spaces into interiors that feel layered, collected, and enduring.
How to Style It
Demand Attention: Place the Arah Vase on its own to showcase its scale and sculptural silhouette.
Lead with Global Influences: Pair the vase with objects collected from different travels, each piece adding to a narrative of history and discovery.
Give It Height: Display the vase on a console, pedestal, or mantel to lift it within the room, reinforcing its role as a centrepiece.
Tip: Give the Arah Vase room to breathe, its presence is strongest when not surrounded by too many competing objects.
Studio by Ferni Alto Vase: Organic Ceramic Vase for Modern Homes
In our second mood board, the Alto Vase takes centre stage with its organic, time-worn texture. Styled alongside lush greenery, rustic pots, and a sculptural velvet chair, the vase brings a grounding presence that balances the more polished finishes around it. Placed on a large oval-sized wooden dining table, the Alto Vase works beautifully as a standalone ceramic vase, or filled with branches and foliage for a more dramatic effect. Its earthy surface catches the light differently throughout the day, making it a living, breathing part of the room.
How to Style It
Pair with Plants: The Alto Vase thrives when surrounded by greenery. Its height feels natural next to leafy branches, as if it belongs among them.
Create Symmetry: Use the Alto Vase in pairs at either end of a dining table or mantel to create balance. The repetition highlights its sculptural form while framing the space.
Play with Contrast: Set the Alto Vase against bold artwork or polished furniture to highlight its raw, tactile surface. The tension between textures makes it feel even more sculptural.
Tip: Position the Alto Vase where natural light shifts throughout the day, its textured surface will subtly change with the light, adding depth to your space.
Studio by Ferni Rana Vase: Decorative Vase for Minimalist Styling
The third mood board highlights the Rana Vase, a heavy, stone-inspired vessel that adds weight and stability to any setting. Here, it’s paired with a low leather sofa, dark wood surfaces, and geometric art, a composition that feels modern yet timeless. The Rana Vase thrives in minimalist spaces where its tactile texture can be appreciated fully, but it also shines in more eclectic rooms, grounding bold patterns and artworks with its calm presence.
How to Style It
Mix Modern with Vintage: Pair the Rana Vase with abstract artwork and sculptural lighting to keep the look fresh yet layered.
Define a Corner: Give the vase its own space by creating a styled corner around it. This could be a reading nook, a console vignette, or even a drinks station, placed near a cocktail cart. The Rana Vase adds texture and atmosphere to entertaining.
Tip: Style the Rana Vase alongside smaller ceramics in contrasting colours or finishes. The play of scale creates a layered composition while allowing the Rana to remain the anchor.
