I’ve said over and over that I’m a big fan of anything you can decorate your apartment with that doesn’t take up a ton of space. I mean, who isn’t short on space these days, right? I wouldn’t call myself a pack rat, but I certainly have a lot of stuff, which is pretty crazy because I’m constantly throwing old things away to make space for new ones. But there are some things that I just hold on to because of the possibility of needing it, like a vase. It’s not like I get a lot of flowers or anything, but I feel like it’s one of those things that if I get rid of it, I’m going to wish I hadn’t. More importantly, I think it’ll be one of those things that I swear I hadn’t gotten rid of and I’ll spend the better part of a weekend futilely searching for it.
The Flower in Flat (Generate Design, $29.00) takes into account your limited space and also allows you to get rid of unnecessary clutter. See, a regular vase takes up space in your kitchen cabinets, something that is a hot commodity. Not only are you wasting valuable square footage, but with a (probably) overpriced item that is easily breakable and only taken out for special occasions. What, is your apartment a museum or something? No? Then maybe you shouldn’t be hording antique vases that you never use. Just a thought. This vase is different because it attaches to the wall, thus saving you space and quite possibly increasing its use. I mean, if it’s just out in the open, you’re far more likely to fill the vase with flowers than if it was tucked in the back of the cupboard, right? While this vase is magnetic (perfect for the fridge), it also comes with glue so you can stick it on pretty much any wall-like surface.
Maybe if I get this vase and display it in a high-traffic area, someone will send me flowers? I mean, it’s not like I don’t get sent a lot of flowers. I do, all the time. In fact, I’m running out of places to put them. So you probably shouldn’t send me flowers because of the space issue. Unless of course you want to, then that’d be awesome. But whatever, it’s up to you.
3 out of 5 stars.
