Glass Hurricanes

Update Your Decor with Glass Hurricanes

Elevate simple decor elements in your home with glass hurricanes. These vases traditionally hold pillar candles—providing a protective glass surface that surrounds the flickering flame. They also house fresh or faux botanicals such as lavender, daffodils and eucalyptus. For a different look, use hurricane vases to create a statement-making succulent display. First, arrange a decorative filter in the container's basin. Stones, moss and seeds provide a natural foundation for air plants or cacti. Then, depending on the size of your glass hurricane, pair two or more plants together within. For variety, choose real or faux sedum or yucca coupled with blooming types for a balanced look. Arrange your containers beside glass terrariums or glazed vases on the mantelpiece, beside a window or on a wall shelf. Alternatively, use these cylindrical vases to upgrade your holiday display, filling them with bauble ornaments when the Christmas season approaches.
