Such styles don’t require much decor but a vase is always a good idea to have some blooms and branches on display. Here’s a roundup of modern DIY vases that will add to your space, choose yours!
Paper
Paper isn’t a popular material for vases for an obvious reason: it can’t stand water. But you cna make a paper cover for a usual vase! Origami is a popular thing and it really brings contemporary aesthetics to the space. Make an origami paper vase to make your home more stylish and then just insert a standard Ikea drinking glass beneath the paper vase – that’s it! Make different vases in various colors to spruce up any glass or tube you have and enjoy.
