Start With the Vase: Styling Spaces from the Inside Out

By STYLEDas

Let’s break a rule, shall we?

Conventional wisdom says start big. Paint the walls. Buy the sofa. Then throw a few nice things in at the end and call it a vibe.

But at STYLEDas, we prefer a little rebellion with our interiors.

We say : Start with the vase.

Yes, the bowl, the pot, the Beyonce moment. The pedestal piece. The “is that vintage?” conversation starter that’s somehow doing more for the energy of the room than your entire furniture setup.

When you start with the right object, think: our Agnes or Elizabeth, something magic happens. You stop decorating, and you start curating.

Why the vessel?

Because the vessel is rarely just a vessel.

It’s balance. It’s beauty. It’s “I have my life together” in object form.

Here’s what she does:

Grounds the space. She gives your surface a reason to exist.
Sets the tone. Whether soft and minimal or moody and sculptural, the vibe follows her lead.
Makes decisions easier. Once she’s in place, everything else becomes obvious: the book stack, the stems, the candle, the aura.

It’s styling from the inside out, not the other way around.
