Carboy

A demijohn is a large glass carboy. Empty or with branches: a chic vintage decorative item.

Place the demijohn on the floor next to a piece of furniture, on a console, or a fireplace. Empty for purity, or with 1-3 eucalyptus or pampas branches. Green glass for vintage, clear for contemporary.

Pitfall: a demijohn filled with a large bouquet that hides its shape. The beauty is in the carboy itself: a few branches at most.

You can find beautiful vintage demijohns in flea markets, garage sales, or antique fairs. They are also sometimes available from specialized vintage decor retailers.

You can place a demijohn alone as a centerpiece in a room, fill it with flowers or branches for a natural look, or combine it with other vintage-style accessories for a harmonious ensemble.

To clean a demijohn, use a mixture of water and white vinegar. Gently scrub the inside with a soft brush, then rinse thoroughly. Let it dry completely before using it again for decoration.

Demijohns in green, amber, or transparent tones are very popular in decoration, as they easily match many interior styles. You can also find rarer models in blue or pink.

Yes, you can absolutely customize a demijohn to give it a more personal look. For example, you can paint it, decorate it with masking tape or stickers, or add natural elements like dried flowers.
