# Dried flowers in the vase: here's how to style them

Dried flowers have really become a staple in home decor — and for good reason. They last for months, need no maintenance and bring a natural, raw look that suits both minimalist and colourful styles. Here's how to style them beautifully.

## Why dried flowers?

Unlike fresh bouquets, dried flowers don't wilt. They need neither water nor sunlight, and a lovely bunch of pampas grass or dried wheat can last well over a year. That makes them a sustainable and budget-friendly choice that's also easy to live with.

## Choose the right vase

Dried flowers often have long, airy stems, so a [large vase](/en/collections/store-vaser) with a bit of weight works best — it won't topple, even with a big bouquet. Since no water's needed, you can happily go for a [ceramic vase](/en/collections/keramik-vaser) or a decorative [animal-shaped vase](/en/collections/dyre-vaser) without worrying about how watertight it is.

## Height and proportions

A good rule of thumb: the bouquet can be around one and a half times as tall as the vase. A lower [small vase](/en/collections/smaa-vaser) suits short, gathered bouquets, while tall branches and pampas really come into their own in a floor vase or a tall [vase](/en/collections/vaser) on the sideboard.

## Styling tips

Keep the colour palette calm — dried flowers look their best in natural, dusty tones. Mix different textures (soft tufts, stiff stalks, delicate branches), and let the bouquet be a little asymmetrical for a natural look. Fancy a splash of colour? There are coloured varieties too.
