Collection: Decorative Jars

Decorative jars are one of those finishing touches that can make a room feel more considered without adding too much visual clutter. Their shape, texture and detailing bring interest to empty shelves, sideboards and console tables, while lidded designs can also add a practical element.

Our collection of decorative jars includes pieces designed to work across a variety of interiors, from modern country and neutral spaces to more classic and collected homes.

Decorative Jars for Shelves

Shelves are an ideal place to use decorative jars because they introduce a different shape alongside books, framed artwork and smaller accessories.

Try placing a jar next to a stack of books or beside a lower ornament to vary the height of the display. A lidded jar can also help break up rows of similarly shaped objects.

Our Shelf Styling Decor collection includes more pieces that work well alongside jars, including ornaments, vases and decorative objects.

For a more relaxed look, avoid arranging every shelf in exactly the same way. Mixing different shapes and finishes usually creates a more natural, collected feel.

Ceramic Decorative Jars

A ceramic decorative jar can bring subtle texture and weight to a room. Matt finishes, softly glazed surfaces and neutral colours are especially easy to style because they sit comfortably with wood, stone, rattan and linen.

Ceramic jars can also work as small statement pieces in their own right, particularly if the design has a distinctive lid, handle or textured surface.

Pair one with pieces from our Decorative Bowls collection to create a simple grouping with contrasting shapes.

Decorative Jars for Sideboards

A sideboard gives you enough surface space to create a layered display without it feeling overcrowded.

Place a decorative jar alongside a vase, candle holder or framed artwork, then vary the heights to create balance. A larger jar can act as an anchor piece, while smaller designs are useful for filling gaps within a wider arrangement.

Explore our Sideboard Decor collection for more accessories that can be mixed with decorative jars.

If you want to soften the display, add a few stems from our Faux Flowers collection to a nearby vase or jug.

Decorative Jars for Console Tables

Console tables are another natural place for decorative home jars, especially in hallways and living spaces.

Use one jar on its own for a cleaner look, or pair two different sizes together for a more substantial display. A mirror or piece of framed artwork above the console can help give the arrangement structure.

Our Console Table Decor collection includes complementary accessories for creating a welcoming hallway or living room display.

For entrance spaces, you can also browse our Hallway Decor collection for further ideas.

Lidded Decorative Jars

Lidded jars offer a slightly more traditional look and can make a beautiful feature on shelves, cabinets and sideboards.

Their covered design adds detail while also making them useful for discreetly storing small items, depending on the style and intended use of the jar.

In bedrooms, a smaller lidded jar can sit neatly on a dressing table or bedside table. For more pieces suited to these spaces, explore our Bedroom Decor collection.

Decorative Jars for Coffee Tables

Smaller decorative jars can also be styled on coffee tables, particularly when grouped with candles, books and bowls.

Using a tray can help bring different pieces together and make the display feel more intentional. Browse our Coffee Table Decor collection for complementary accessories, or add texture with one of our Rattan Trays.

Keep the arrangement fairly simple so the table remains practical. One jar, a candle and a small stack of books can often be enough.

Decorative Jars for Kitchens

Decorative jars can work beautifully in kitchens, particularly on open shelving, dressers and worktops.

Ceramic designs sit naturally alongside wooden boards, baskets and other kitchen accessories. They can also help add softness to a room with lots of harder surfaces such as stone, marble or painted cabinetry.

For a more rustic feel, pair ceramic jars with pieces from our Wicker Baskets collection to introduce extra texture.

How to Style Decorative Jars

The easiest way to style a decorative jar is to treat it as part of a wider composition rather than as an isolated accessory.

Mix rounded jars with straighter shapes such as books, frames and trays. Vary the heights and leave some empty space around the display so each piece has room to stand out.

You can also group jars in pairs, particularly when they share a similar finish but differ in size.

If the jar already has strong detailing or an unusual silhouette, keep the surrounding styling simpler and let the piece become the focus.

Decorative Jars for Timeless Interiors

Decorative jars work well because they are easy to move, restyle and combine with other accessories.

A piece used on a living room shelf today could later be moved to a hallway console, bedroom dresser or kitchen display. This flexibility makes them useful additions to homes that change gradually over time.

Whether you are looking for ceramic decorative jars, lidded jars for shelves or statement jars for sideboards, these pieces are designed to add texture, shape and character without overwhelming the room.
