Dining Room Centerpiece Help with Pics
I need help...
I cannot, for the life of me, find something for our dining table...
I can't do anything with candles because our light fixture looks like candle pillars, I won't do real flowers b/c it's too expensive and I don't want any fake arrangements either....
I am stumped....
I added two photos of our space if that helps - also we are going to move the mirror higher
Please help me get inspiration!

Re: Dining Room Centerpiece Help with Pics
what if you did an adaptation of this, minus the candles and add a vase.....if you just do 3 similarly toned/shaped vases and maybe a runner?

Re: Dining Room Centerpiece Help with Pics
I like the idea of vases....I feel like our room is getting sort of an Eastern vibe - not an Asian thing but more like Moroccan if that makes any sense at all  I don't really know how to explain it...
Vases is def a good start...I like vases and I feel like that could go with the feel of the room...it's not weird if they are left empty is it?

I really like the idea of the different size vases. I also like the wine holder addition.

Re: Dining Room Centerpiece Help with Pics
thanks may be a baby....i went to the pier 1 link and looked and i found these vases and i love them...they are large (i measured to see how tall they would be) and they would take up a lot of the space between the table and light fixture which is something i wanted b/c i feel like that space is just weird and empty...
i like the red b/c we have a few red accents in the room and in our kitchen also... Image Attachment(s):

Re: Dining Room Centerpiece Help with Pics
I am going to try and go there tonight since it just so happens that I have a gift card for Pier 1....
I am thinking maybe I can even try mixing the red vases and clear apothecary jars that you posted...I would just have to find something to put inside the jars...
Hopefully the store has everything that way I can at least try it out...worst case it doesn't look right and I will just have to return it and try something else!
Thank you guys! At least now I have an idea of what to do with this space...I feel like it looks naked and weird in there...hopefully this helps!

Do you have an Ikea by you? I got these from Ikea and they are small and definitely will fit on your table. They have different sizes and shapes too..
