Using colorful vases and more full fake flowers would add more color to the space.

I don't think you need to put anything in that small space. It could be an accident waiting to happen especially with glass ;-)

You might fill the vases with glass pebbles -- one colour, multicolour, as you prefer.

I agree with Anne Dee...it is a lovely space!!

How about making your own twig art in a rectangular size and hang on the seating wall? I found this for inspiration... Or, you could hang just two or three empty frames and bundle twigs together and place them inside the frames for cool art.

Unframed twig art idea.. a little creativity and a hot glue gun?

I should mention the specs of the space, the landing is about 8 1/2 feet wide, and the fake seat is about 6 1/2 feet wide. So it looks bare with nothing there. I was hoping to use my three large vases but if i can't make it work... i am open to the other suggestions. I'm not that keen to use colorful faux stems if they look faux, which is why i wanted the banana leaf or philodendron but haven't found them that tall. Thank you all for suggestions and keep anymore coming!

I think it would be pretty to put and orchid in each vase. There is enough light and it only takes 1/4 cup of water once a week for the orchids.

Like those really tall orchids? We use to do this and have them submerged which was cool, but a lot of work lugging them to the kitchen and back for my husband!

There is no way he'd do that now it's too far from the kitchen.

HI -- Sorry but I don't like the placement of the three vases . I would do one big thing , such as a piece of long driftwood or a large statue that is long and low such as a garden piece that looks like stone or concrete . Designtoscano.con or a seated Buddha or the shy winged angel . Something interesting . RestorationHardware.com also has some very good looking décor pieces . How about the antique horse statue . Or a big temple jar/vase in a blue and white pattern . Or even an Asian folding screen , that would be beautiful and different . One that has the gold leaf background . Make the space special .

you can use candles there

Yes, I was thinking the tall orchids. I think the small pot that the orchids come in would actually fit into your vases. I have an orchid in my kitchen bay window and it only requires 3 ice cubes (or 1/4 cup of water) once a week in the pot. The orchids can get tippy so your glass vase will help it stay upright. I think a nice sculpture would be more interesting though.

Check out this Naples Bowl from ZGallerie.. I purchased two of these and hung them vertically in my bedroom as art instead of using as a bowl. I think to of these would look great hung horizontally in your landing space. Below is a photo of the bowl as art too. They are natural wood willow and can also be painted any color you like.

What about getting a custom seat cushion made with a neat colorful or graphical pattern?

It looks like a lovely landing. I am not a big fan of the vases there. Is there somewhere else you could use them in your home?

I am not sure you need anything there, but I agree one object would be the way to go. I am a big fan of color in neutral places and I like the unexpected. What about hanging a long piece of art under the window or putting a colorful rug on the landing?

I put two of the vases on either side and a large orchid in the middle and took one vase away. I'll keep looking for a tall object or art type piece. Thank you for the ideas! I may give up my tall vases and look to these other suggestions.
