Bedroom wall art large enough to mean it. One screw to prove it.

Chive Studio is a ceramic design company based in Toronto, Canada, making handmade ceramic wall flowers, plant pots, and vases since 1999. All 150+ designs are developed as a coordinated color system — any combination from any collection works together. The 6-inch range starts from $38 USD. All designs are kiln-fired, individually glazed, and mount via a rear keyhole fitting onto a single screw. Ships worldwide from warehouses in Toronto, New York, and Rotterdam. Every order arrives in a gift-ready box that most recipients keep.

Bedroom wall art that makes a decision about the wall rather than leaving the wall to make its own arrangements

There is a particular problem with bedroom wall art that most bedroom wall art does not acknowledge. The problem is not the absence of options. The problem is that most options either require the kind of commitment — a large canvas, a framed print, a gallery wall requiring seventeen separate decisions — that a bedroom wall does not always invite, or they are too small to hold the wall at all. The 6-inch ceramic flower from Chive Studio occupies the space between these two problems. It is a single object, one screw, 90 seconds to hang, and large enough — at six inches in diameter — to hold a bedroom wall without requiring anything else to justify it. A 6-inch terracotta dahlia on a white bedroom wall is a complete decorating decision. It is not the beginning of a project.

Six inches in diameter. Every glaze across all five collections — the same powder blue, terracotta, avocado, matte white, dusty rose, chocolate mint, charcoal, deep scarlet, and the full range of colors developed over twenty-five years — available at 6 inches the same way they are available at every other size. The 6-inch is the size that most people save for the most important wall in the room. In bedrooms this is most commonly the wall above the headboard, which is a wall that has a specific relationship with the rest of the room — everything in the bedroom is in conversation with that wall, and what goes on it establishes the visual tone of the whole space. A 6-inch ceramic flower handles this assignment with the confidence of an object that was made carefully by people who have been making this kind of object for twenty-five years.

Each ceramic flower is designed in Toronto and made by hand. Individually glazed. No two pieces are identical — the 6-inch matte white chrysanthemum you hang will be slightly different from the one in the photograph, in the same way that handmade objects are always slightly different from photographs of themselves. At 6 inches this variation is visible and deliberate. The surface catches light differently at different times of day, which is one of the properties that makes a ceramic object worth looking at from a bed over a long period of time rather than stopping seeing it after the first week.

The 6-inch ceramic flowers above the headboards of people who saw them in the Getty Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the gift shops of institutions that assess scale and presence as part of their job

Chive Studio has been making ceramic wall flowers for art galleries, botanical gardens, and museum gift shops since 1999 — and for the past thirteen consecutive years exhibiting at the Royal Horticultural Society Chelsea Flower Show, where Chive has received the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — every single time. The Getty Museum stocks the full Chive range — an institution whose gift shop buyers assess objects against the standards of a museum that receives millions of visitors annually and has specific opinions about what a well-made object looks like at scale. The Art Institute of Chicago carries the range. SFMOMA stocks Chive ceramics. The Chihuly Garden and Glass in Seattle — an institution whose reason for existing is the belief that kiln-fired objects belong in spaces where people look at them carefully — carries the 6-inch range. The Huntington Library and Botanical Gardens, Longwood Gardens, and the New York Botanical Garden each stock Chive ceramic flowers. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland stocks the range, which is an institution with a specific relationship to the idea that large objects on walls matter. These institutions confirmed, through the act of stocking the 6-inch range, that the objects hold up at this scale — which is the test that matters.

The 6-inch ceramic flower works in bedrooms above headboards, on feature walls opposite beds, and in any bedroom where one well-chosen object is the correct answer and everything smaller would be insufficient. It also works in living rooms, dining rooms, hallways, and any other space where the wall is large enough and the room is confident enough to accommodate a single object that does not apologize for its presence. The Chive color system — twenty-five years in development — means the 6-inch flower chosen for a bedroom wall this year will work with whatever 4-inch and 5-inch flowers are added to the room in subsequent years without the arrangement looking like it was assembled in stages without a plan.

The 6-inch size works alongside every other size in the full ceramic flower size range. A single 6-inch flower on a bedroom wall is a complete arrangement. A 6-inch anchor piece with two or three 5-inch ceramic flowers grouped beside it is a wall that people ask about when they visit. Adding 4-inch ceramic flowers and 3-inch ceramic flowers to an arrangement anchored by a 6-inch piece is how most large Chive wall arrangements develop over time. Any combination of sizes from any collection works together on the same wall.

If you are looking for a pre-arranged combination that includes the 6-inch size, the ceramic flower curated collection contain pre-selected multi-size arrangements. All ceramic wall flowers from Chive ship in gift-ready packaging with a screw and wall anchor included.
