Looking for modern living room corner vase decor that goes beyond an empty vase beside the sofa? Tall branches, leafy stems and little shelf arrangements give you plenty to work with.
I especially love the dark vases against pale walls.
You can keep it simple or go all out with flowers. Most of these pictures feature vases, with a few neighboring decor ideas to borrow from.
Pick the shapes and colors you like, then find a spot where they have room to spread out.
Corner vase ideas worth saving
black vase and beige plumes
We’re starting off strong with this gorgeous black floor vase. I love the narrow neck and rounded base beneath that big spray of beige plumes.
Try yours beside a low basket like the one here. Leave a little space between them so you can still see the vase’s curved shape.
cream handles and tall greenery
How cute is this handled vase? The little ridges around the shoulders give the cream shape something extra without adding another color.
Tall leafy stems fill the gap between the TV cabinet and curtain. If you have a similar corner, keep the arrangement narrow enough that you can still move the curtain.
oversized vase and bare branches
If you are looking for a true eye-catcher, then this one is for you. The oversized brown vase sits beside the sofa with bare branches reaching far above it.
I love the golden glow around the lower stems. You could try an accent light nearby if you want to bring out that branching shape in the evening.
ribbed black vase on a console
I am obsessed with this leafy arrangement. The little round leaves spread out above a black ribbed vase, with a mirror catching part of the display.
Try this on a console near your living room corner if you’d rather keep the floor clear. A small stack of books can sit beside it, just like here.

a whole corner of vases
Don’t want to stop at one vase? This corner gives you plenty of ideas!
Pale rounded shapes sit beside a dark green ribbed vase, with flowers and greenery at different heights.

My favorite part is the orange flowers mixed with white blooms. Try raising a back vase on a stand rather than lining everything up on the floor.
wavy white shelf vase
This little white vase may just be one of my favorites here. I love the stacked curves with the dark leafy stems.
It sits on a shelf behind the rounded chair, beside a pale framed print. If your corner already has built-in shelves, try a vase there before adding another piece of furniture.

olive-colored vase and blue-green leaves
The olive-colored vase and blue-green leaves are so pretty together. I especially love the glossy teardrop shape beneath that wide arrangement.
Keep the nearby decor simple if you want to follow this look. The framed artwork behind it gives you a lovely starting point for choosing muted colors.
little handles and sparse branches
You don’t need a full bouquet to make a pretty arrangement. This tan handled vase holds tall, sparsely flowering branches, with a candle sitting on the books beside it.

This is a bedside display, but the vase, branches and books would look lovely on a living-room side table too. Keep those little handles in view if you try it.
white vases and fan-shaped leaves
How pretty is this white vase grouping? The large fan-shaped leaf and pale stems rise beneath a round mirror, with smaller shapes gathered below.
I love that the tallest vase at the back is left empty. Try leaving one of yours unfilled too rather than giving every vase its own arrangement.
leafy stems beneath tall artwork
Have a narrow wall beside a doorway? This pale floor vase shows a lovely way to decorate it without adding a table.
The leafy stems reach up in front of the tall framed artwork. For your own living room, keep the vase tucked out of the walking path and let the greenery spread toward the open wall.
striped lamp and stacked books
This picture features a lamp and bowl rather than a vase, but the black-and-tan stripes are worth a look. I love them beneath the red artwork.
To borrow the colors for a vase display, try a striped vase beside a short book stack on your living room console. That would be a variation on this arrangement, not the object shown here.
slender vase and curling stems
If you love a taller arrangement, take a look at these curling branches. The slender patterned vase has a copper-colored neck, with white flowers tucked among the stems.
This doorway display leans more ornate than the simpler looks above. You could borrow the branch arrangement and choose a plain vase for a more pared-back living room corner.
brown vase and tiny white flowers
Don’t want to go overboard with flowers? No problem! This brown vase holds just a few airy stems with tiny white blooms.
I love the broad shoulders and little flared rim. Set a similar vase on a sturdy stack of books if you want to give a small corner display a little extra height.
cream blooms by the window
I am obsessed with these big cream flower heads. They look so pretty mixed with brown leafy branches above the pale speckled vase.
The low bowl beside it is a lovely detail too. Try that same tall-and-low pairing on a console near your living room window.
blush plumes beside an arched mirror
This is another pretty way to use feathery stems, but the blush color makes it a little different. The small cream vase sits right beside the black arched mirror.
I love the leafy plant on the other side. If you try a similar grouping, keep the plumes clear of the curtain and lamp.
white flowers in a fluted vase
How gorgeous is this fluted white vase? The large white flower clusters spill out beneath taller green branches.
This photo shows a kitchen counter rather than a living room corner. You could borrow just the vase-and-flowers combination for a corner table, leaving the rolling pin and food styling in the kitchen.
round green vase and one branch
Don’t want a big bouquet or lots of little accessories? Simply try a rounded green vase with one leafy branch.
I love how you can see the stem through the green body. The pale leaves lean to one side, so there’s no need to make your arrangement perfectly even.
a leafy plant beside the sofa
This corner uses a plant in a basket rather than a vase. The broad leaves, black side table and stacked botanical prints make a lovely grouping beside the sofa.
For a vase-based version, you could place a tall floor vase with leafy stems in the basket’s spot. Keep the small table free for the bowl or your everyday essentials.
two dark floor vases
If one tall vase isn’t quite enough, try a pair like these. The dark tapered shapes sit at different heights, both filled with long twisting branches.

I especially love them against the lit shelves. Give a similar pair its own stretch of floor rather than squeezing it into the curtain’s path.
little vases on corner shelves
Last but definitely not least, we have these pretty corner shelves. I love the pale vases mixed with little plants and framed artwork!

The lower vase sits on books with green stems reaching upward. Try spreading your vases across different shelves like this instead of putting them all together.
