Glass ornaments don’t have to spend all year waiting for Christmas. And it would be a shame to hide them away.
Some are simply too beautiful to sit in a box for eleven months. Hang them on a branch in a vase, let them light up a window, arrange them on a festive table or use them to surprise your better half.
Here are 5 occasions when glass ornaments can decorate your home outside the Christmas season. You may even find that your favourite ornament ends up with a place in your home all year round.
1. Welcoming spring with the Among the Flowers collection
The first rays of sunshine, branches covered in blossom and, at last, a bit of colour at home. Spring practically asks for a new decoration.
Take a few branches, put them in a tall vase and hang ornaments from the Among the Flowers collection on them. Add a few fresh flowers and let the arrangement stand out on the dining table or a chest of drawers. There’s no need to wait for Easter, either: this decoration will look lovely from the first days of spring right through to summer.
And if you really like the motif, you don’t have to stop at one ornament. The Among the Flowers collection also includes glasses, carafes, candle holders, candles and other home accessories. Little by little, you can create a whole corner of your home where every piece goes together beautifully.
2. Easter with a twist
Easter decorations don’t have to mean only painted eggs, a pomlázka (the braided willow whip of Czech Easter tradition) and everything in yellow. Why not try something a little different this year?
Czech blueprint fabric (modrotisk), natural materials and Josef Lada’s gentle illustrations create an Easter atmosphere that’s traditional without feeling tired. Hang glass ornaments on crooked branches and add wicker, wood and a few green twigs. The result is a decoration that doesn’t look shop-bought, but like something you made at home yourself.
Then it’s time for felt. Felt ornaments, flowers and twigs give an arrangement softness and a natural character. You can combine them with glass or let them stand on their own.
And the best part? A flower that won’t wilt. You can keep felt flowers and twigs at home long after the Easter carollers have gone.
3. Love Valentine’s Day? Decorate a little differently
Is Valentine’s Day a reason to celebrate for you? Then don’t stop at flowers and chocolate this year. Decorate in style.
The Retro collection is bold, playful and definitely doesn’t deserve to stay shut in a box just because it isn’t December. Hang one striking ornament in the window, group several above the dining table or arrange them on branches.
This is exactly why it pays to choose ornaments you genuinely enjoy. A single ornament can put on a show all year long. On Valentine’s Day it sets a romantic mood, at a birthday party it adds a splash of colour, and for the rest of the year it can simply brighten up your living room.
Because a beautiful ornament doesn’t need a season.
4. Autumn calls for something extra
Autumn has a charm of its own. Colourful leaves, misty mornings, the first chill and evenings when candles are lit at home. And the Tady je Krakonošovo collection, named after Krakonoš, the legendary spirit of the Krkonoše mountains, fits right into that atmosphere.
This time, try giving classic autumn decorations a little twist. The hand-blown glass pine cones from the Tady je Krakonošovo collection can be arranged in a large bowl with chestnuts, moss or dried fruit. Add a few more hand-blown Decor by Glassor ornaments and create a small autumn forest on your table.
And if you want something truly original, make glass ornaments part of an autumn door wreath. Natural materials combined with hand-blown glass create an unexpected detail that catches the eye even before your guests ring the bell.
Because autumn decorating doesn’t have to be predictable. Sometimes it calls for something extra.
5. A wedding to remember
Want a wedding that’s a little different? Add glass ornaments to the decorations. They don’t have to wait for Christmas – on a wedding table they can look surprisingly elegant and become a detail your guests will remember.
Choose hand-blown Decor by Glassor glass ornaments that match your colours and style. Arrange smaller ones among the flowers on the wedding table, use larger ones as a striking feature, or hang them in the space above the table.
And you don’t have to stop at ornaments. Glass candle holders, vases and other decorations can come together into one harmonious whole. Mix different shapes, heights and materials, and don’t be afraid of bolder colours.
And after the wedding? Take your favourite piece home. An ornament that was part of your big day can go on decorating your home – and remind you every year of how it all began.
Find an ornament you’ll enjoy all year
Maybe it’s time to stop seeing glass ornaments as something that only belongs on a Christmas tree.
Find one you’ll enjoy all year round.
Because sometimes a single beautiful detail is all it takes to give an ordinary corner of your home a new lease of life. Whether you’re drawn to flowers, Czech tradition, bold retro motifs, nature or something else entirely, choose an ornament you’ll still want to look at in July.
