Why Decorative Vases and Jars Belong on Every Surface
A decorative vase or jar adds height, texture and visual structure to any surface. A single ceramic vase on a bare console defines the surface and gives it a finished look. A pair of ginger jars on a sideboard creates symmetry without adding clutter. Ceramic brings matte warmth, glass keeps interiors feeling open, and resin adds durability to high-use surfaces.
Styling Tip
Combine two or three pieces at varying heights within a similar colour family. Pair with decorative trays and ornaments to build a complete styled surface.
Ceramic, Glass and Ginger Jars
Shop Vases and Jars by Style
Ginger Jars
Best for Consoles and Sideboards
Blue and white finishes and traditional temple jar designs suit Hamptons and coastal living rooms. Pair two on a sideboard or console for a symmetrical arrangement. Lidded temple jars provide discreet closed storage while keeping a decorative appearance - useful on open shelving where hidden organisation is needed without sacrificing style.
Ceramic Vases
Best for Every Room
The most versatile style. Matte finishes suit living areas, bedrooms and entryways. White ceramic works across every Australian interior style.
Modern Vases
Best for Contemporary Interiors
Clean lines and simple shapes in neutral tones. Works with almost any interior. Place a single stem in a sculptural piece or group three varying heights on a shelf.
Glass Vases
Best for Dining Tables and Sideboards
Keeps interiors feeling light and open. Works best with dried or artificial stems. Coloured glass catches natural light on dining tables and sideboards. Art glass designs with handcrafted details suit contemporary and coastal rooms.
Resin and Patterned
Best for High-Use Surfaces
Durable with a refined finish. Black and white designs, tribal patterns and gold accents work well in family homes and neutral rooms where both strength and visual weight are needed.
Size and Placement Guide
Choose the Right Size for Your Space
Tall Pieces
Entryways, floors beside sofas and console tables. Height adds impact without taking floor space.
Medium Pieces
Dining tables, sideboards and buffets. Pairs work well where symmetry is the goal.
Small Pieces
Shelves, coffee tables and bedside surfaces. Group with a decorative tray for a complete surface arrangement.

WHY SHOPICA?
Quality You Can Trust
Shopica is a Sydney-based, family-owned homeware, décor and furniture store founded by Eliane El Khoury. What started as a passion for beautiful, considered interiors has grown into a trusted destination for Australians who care about how their home looks and feels. We curate cushions, floor lamps, mirrors, bedside tables, dining tables, outdoor furniture and decorative pieces chosen specifically for Australian homes. Every piece is held to the same standard we would demand for our own. We do not stock products simply because they are popular. We stock them because they are well made, beautifully designed and worth every dollar.
Our Sydney-based team understands how Australian homes are lived in. The open plan living and dining spaces that define modern Australian architecture. The need for furniture that is beautiful on the weekend and durable through the week. The importance of getting the details right, from the cushion on the sofa to the lamp beside the bed. We source every product with all of this in mind.
With Australia-wide delivery dispatched daily from our Smithfield warehouse in Sydney and personal customer support from a team that genuinely cares about your home, Shopica is here to help you create a space that feels as good as it looks. One considered piece at a time.
