If You Loved the Candle Sconce, Meet Its Seasonal Cousin Making a Comeback – 16 Wall Vases to Swap in This Spring

Wall vases, featuring styles ranging from botanical patterns to squiggles, pictured against a white background.

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.


The Cut is all about Homes & Gardens helping you invest in pieces that feel current now, but won’t date as trends shift. Finds that elevate a room today and still feel right years from now. Whether it’s a sculptural accent chair or a chic pendant light, our editors will curate an edit that balances style, longevity, and quality. Consider this your shortcut to smart, beautiful shopping.
