Light Up Your Interiors: Styling with Lighting, Vases & Faux Flowers from Chosen By Jessica

When you combine beautiful lighting, graceful vases, and lifelike faux flowers, you can transform any room into a warm, inviting space—without constant upkeep. At Chosen By Jessica, our curated collections in lighting, vases, and artificial plants & florals allow you to layer texture, colour, and ambience with style that lasts.

Why These Three Elements Work Together

• Ambience & Mood: Lighting sets atmosphere—soft glow from table lamps or lanterns feels relaxing; pendant or overhead lighting can be dramatic.

• Shape & Form: Vases aren’t just containers—they’re sculptural elements that define the shapes in your space. Mixing tall, slim vases with full faux flower arrangements creates visual balance.

• Low Maintenance Beauty: Faux flowers bring colour and continuity year-round, and with lighting and vases accenting them, you get décor that looks intentional all the time.

Top Trends in Lighting & Decor (UK This Year)

Here are some lighting trends shaping homes this year—great sources of inspiration for your space.

• Natural & Organic Materials: Wood, stone, ceramic, rattan—these bring a grounding warmth and texture. 

• Sculptural & Artistic Forms: Lighting fixtures are doubling as artwork, with flowing lines or unexpected silhouettes. Warm Metallic Finishes: Bronze, brass, muted gold tones are on the rise—these finishes work beautifully with both traditional and modern interiors. 

• Layered Lighting: Combining ambient, task, and accent lighting for flexible, mood-adjustable spaces. Lamps, overhead, and accent lights all play a part. 

Styling Tips: Combine Lighting, Vases, & Faux Flowers

Here are actionable tips to help you style these elements together:

1. Pick a Lighting Focal Point First
   Choose your main light source—maybe a standout lamp, lantern, or pendant—that complements or sets the tone. E.g., a stone-based lamp or lantern with warm glow becomes a centrepiece. Guide visitors toward your table lamps or lanterns collections.

2. Select Vases that Complement, Don’t Compete

   • Use vessels with finishes or textures that echo your lighting fixtures (e.g. ceramic, stone, or metal).

   • Vary shapes: tall vs short, narrow vs wide.

   • Group several vases together on a shelf, console, or mantelpiece to build interest.

3. Choose Faux Flowers for Colour & Longevity

   • Go for high-quality blooms: realistic petals, wired stems for shaping.

   • Use foliage and fillers to give depth and make arrangements more natural.

   • Pick faux florals that match or accent your room’s existing colour palette—so they feel part of the décor, not just an add-on.

4. Combine & Display

   • Place a beautiful vase of faux flowers beside a lamp: the lamp’s light will heighten textures and shadows—and the arrangement softens the lighting.

   • Use lanterns or light sources inside or behind arrangement displays for warm ambient glow.

   • On side tables, dining tables, or shelves: one lamp + one vase + a small floral arrangement gives a balanced, curated look.

5. Seasonal Refreshes & Layering

   • Swap floral colours seasonally—lighter or pastel tones in spring/summer; autumnal or deeper colours in fall/winter.

   • Consider themed lighting effects: candles in lanterns, fairy lights inside vases, etc.

   • Occasionally rearrange groupings—move vases, adjust lamp positions, rotate faux floral arrangements—to keep the space feeling fresh.
