We love a little trompe l’oeil—especially when it doesn’t require any painting skills. To get the classic look without the work, simply unfold the bottom of this vase, stand it on any surface, place a glass of water behind it, and add flowers. Unless your guests peek around the side, they’ll never know that they’re just looking at a flat piece of powder-coated steel. This is one optical illusion we can definitely wrap our heads around (and afford). —Alexandra Martell
