Two Difficulties You May Have To Contend With While Using Wicker Floor Vases

The most convenient way to furnish any room with décor is to use wicker floor vases. These are lightweight and easily carried so there will be no problems about transporting even the bigger ones. Where the difficulties lie is in keeping these floor vases stable in the position chosen for them. This imposes limitations on the use of asymmetrical floral arrangements for them. They are also much easier to upset and will have to be kept in place in some way.

Lightweight and easily transportable

Wicker floor vases are made of cords of plant material which vary in weight but are all light. The cords are also woven in a fashion that makes the walls of the vase airy. Bringing these accessories from one end of the house to the other is not as difficult. Except for their finish, they are not likely to be damaged even when thrown about. That makes them your best choice if you are thinking of large vases that are maneuverable. They are also safer to use if you have children and pets in the house.

Wicker floor vases are not as stable

A setback of being lightweight is the fact that most of the time you should get box-shaped wicker floor vases. Their bases are as wide as their bodies. Although these vases are also available shaped like the standard jars, those are not firm on the floor. You have to get vases with wide lips and necks in order to make it easy to fill them with stabilizing and heavy materials. You can use rocks and metal weights for this purpose. Sand is also another material that is used effectively for keeping vases stable. In order for the sand not to mess the ground around the wicker vase, place it in little pouches first before dropping it in. Alternatively, you can line the interior of the wicker vase with plastic first.

Using wicker floor vases can be trickier than using the other types because they weight considerably less. They are easily carried around, are pliable and break-proof. But they will also have to be fixed in their positions. Most of the time it is better to get them in rectangular shapes and make dry plant boxes out of them. Jar shaped wicker vases should be held in place by filling with rocks and other heavy materials. A very good filler material is sand. It not only makes the vase heavy but also helps to keep floral arrangements in place. Either wrap the sand in little bags or line the interior of the vase with plastic. Because you need to use filler material, the neck of the vase has to be wide enough.

Wicker floor vases are the easiest to use for your floor décor. Although they have their disadvantages, these are relatively minor. They come in many different shapes and sizes. Familiarity with them is essential for knowing your options so you do not have to settle for less than the best vase for your room.
