If You Loved the Candle Sconce, Meet Its Seasonal Cousin Making a Comeback – 16 Wall Vases to Swap in This Spring
Vase on the table? A little passé. This season, bring your blooms to the wall instead
Cool weather calls for candle sconces, but setting a taper alight when the forecast calls for flowy frocks and long, definitely-not-dark-yet evenings feels slightly… incongruous. If you’re missing that mounted drama, you may want to meet its springtime successor: the wall vase.
Instead of a flame, it holds hydrangeas. Or calla lilies. Possibly peonies. Like the candle sconce, wall vases (or ‘wall pockets,’ as they were called during their Victorian peak) aren’t exactly new – but designers like Joanna Gaines and Shea McGee, alongside retailers like Anthropologie, are making the design trend feel that way with colorful, sometimes squiggly ceramics and sculptural brass arms.
A vase on the table? Cute. For spring 2026, though, we’re upping the ante. The mounted vase revival is also reviving our walls, and we found 16 to bring in the botanical beauty.
