Bathroom furnishings: Planning, possibilities, furniture & co.

For many people, a bathroom is a retreat where you have intimate time just for yourself. Whether it’s a beauty day with masks and manicures, or a completely relaxing time-out in the bathtub: the bathroom is an important place in every house and apartment. The space conditions can be very different: a lot or little area, roof slopes or not, windows with daylight or inside. A bathroom has many different requirements, but a lot can be achieved with all of them. Find out here how you can pimp your bathroom and design it according to your wishes.

Tip! Popular and luxurious interior brands and furniture are presented here: Interior Brands XXL!

Colour concept: Colours & tones for the feel-good bathroom

The bathroom is all about finding peace and quiet. What is the best way to ensure this? The right choice of colour is the first step: harmonious colours such as beige, mud or mocha create a relaxing atmosphere. You can achieve a nature or sea feeling with soft green and blue tones. With the help of these you can dream of wide meadows, forests or the endless sea. Bright yellow tones give you the feeling of taking a bath in the sun.

To make a difference in your bathroom, you don’t have to renovate the whole bathroom. Sometimes small touches like a single repainted wall or colourful accessories can give your bathroom a new look. With individual elements such as carpet, doormat, towels and decorative elements you can already achieve great success.

What should be avoided in the bathroom? Especially the combination of complementary colors should be avoided in the bathroom. These usually have a restless and obtrusive effect.

Floors: colourful tiles, mosaics and natural stone

Colours influence our well-being, activity and mood. The effect of the floor should also not be underestimated. Because it plays a significant role in the overall appearance of the bathroom. Discreet tiles, a playful mosaic or calming natural stone – you have the freedom to choose from a wide range of colours and patterns for your bathroom floor.

Materials: stone, linen and wooden furniture

What materials should be used in the bathroom? Natural materials such as wood, stone, wicker or linen are not out of place in any bathroom and enhance every bathroom. In contrast to cold tiles and ceramics, wood optics and baskets bring life into your bathroom.

Oak bathroom cabinets, a wooden ladder to hang towels or natural sponges might be just the thing for your bathroom!

Plants: Green & tropical feeling in your bathroom

Houseplants can also find a place in your bathroom – whether green, white or colourful flower arrangements – plants always provide a natural look and are a real eye-catcher. Due to the high humidity, tropical plants are the best choice. Popular plants are the lucky feather, orchids, ivy or a palm tree.

Alternatively, you can also use artificial flowers for the decoration of your bathroom. Here you have a generous offer and the most essential advantage: The flowers stay with you forever.

Trendy furniture: bathtubs, fittings in bright colours

A trend that is absolutely on the rise? Coloured bathtubs! At trade fairs and in the showrooms of various interior brands you can already admire the colorful bath furniture. Take a look around on the internet, at trade fairs and in stores and give a colourful designer piece a home.

Dark bathroom ceramics and matte fixtures in bold colors are also on the big rise!

White bathroom furniture looks particularly elegant against beige or black walls. Especially beige and white has a soothing and relaxing effect, sandy tones give the occupant a warming feeling.

Tip. Take a look at our article about furniture from Maison Valentina. The company is especially known for its unique and extraordinary bathroom furniture.

Storage space in the bathroom: cupboards, shelves & baskets

Especially in the bathroom it is important to find space for the necessary utensils of daily care. Toothbrush, shower gel, make-up, razor – all this needs a fixed place in the bathroom, so that everything can be found quickly in the hectic and rush in the morning. What’s the best way to go about it?

Pull-out cabinets, which are usually found in pharmacies, are also ideal for the bathroom. Without any problems, you can reach even the smallest part. Especially if you don’t have much space in the width, but only in the depth, such an apothecary cabinet is ideal for you. The base cabinet can also be integrated into narrow walls or room dividers.

Shelves are just as popular a solution in the bathroom as cabinets and take up less space. Above the door, towels can be stored here. In addition to cabinets, there is also the option of hanging baskets in the bathroom to store your bath products.

A room that often remains unused is the area around the toilet. However, special cabinets make it possible to create storage space here as well. Further hidden space can be found in so-called bathtub flaps.

Wallpaper: Vinyl, non-woven or fiberglass – Tips

Wallpapering the bathroom? There are a few things to keep in mind when doing this. To wallpaper the bathroom, it’s best to choose non-woven, vinyl or fibreglass wallpaper. These are water resistant and some of them are even washable.

But even the strongest non-woven wallpaper is not resistant to extremely high moisture, so they should not wallpaper directly in the splash water area. Wallpapers convince with a joint-free look in numerous patterns and colours. Whether and how well wallpapers are suitable for the bathroom, you can recognize by the wallpaper symbols on the wallpaper roll. Wallpapers are available in different classifications: They are in the classes water resistant to processing, wash resistant, highly wash resistant, scrub resistant or highly scrub resistant.

Making paper wallpaper water resistant

In principle, however, all wallpapers can be used for the bathroom, but with certain restrictions. If your favorite wallpaper is only available as paper or woodchip wallpaper, you can paint the wallpaper waterproof. With a so-called elephant skin this is possible, but you will get a specky shine afterwards. Large areas should not be processed so, however, because errors can arise when painting and thus individual places can get mold.

Covering up unsightly tiles: How to hide tiles behind wallpaper

You want to cover your ugly tiles with wallpaper? This is quite possible, but you have to consider two points here: The joints must be filled and the surface of the wall ceramic must be absorbent so that the wallpaper paste sticks. To enable the wallpaper to adhere, a pre-treatment with adhesive primer must be carried out. Who decides for this redesign, however, should be very sure, because this variant can not be undone afterwards.

Mirrors: hanging and standing solutions for every bathroom

Mirrors are an absolute must-have when it comes to the bathroom. Especially for women, a mirror in the bathroom is indispensable. But what kind of mirror do I want and which one is best suited for the daily encounter in the bathroom?

You should urgently do without a mirror that is merely leaning against the wall in the bathroom, because the floor is often slippery due to the water vapour and this could quickly be the undoing of a mirror. The safer option: a fixed wall mirror. However, you should make sure that the mirror does not have an unpainted wooden frame, this can quickly become rotten in the high humidity. In the following paragraphs, we will show you which different types of mirrors you can have in your bathroom.

Ali-Bert: 2 in 1 classic – cabinet and mirror

We all know it and a large number own it at home, but hardly anyone knows the name of the piece of furniture. The name Ali-Bert is a bathroom cabinet with mirror front mounted above the sink. Especially for smaller bathrooms this piece of furniture is ideal, because the 2 in 1 solution saves a lot of space. Toothbrushes, cream and everything you need for daily use in the bathroom finds its place here.

Light mirror: warm lighting emphasizes the beauty

The light mirror is known mainly from changing rooms. With the bright light, many women have the feeling that every problem area is well illuminated and still particularly emphasized. But this can also be done differently! Namely with warm lighting instead of cold, glaring lighting. In the warm light of the light mirror your silhouette and your face is illuminated, but this appears much softer through the warm light.

Crystal mirror: highlight with engraving – the perfect gift

What’s special about a crystal mirror? It can even be engraved! Maybe such a mirror with a few nice personal words is just the right thing as the next gift for your sweetheart or best friend.

Make-up mirror: bathroom must-have for styling, make-up and hairdressing

Many women consider a vanity mirror in the bathroom an absolute must! What is particularly important to consider with a make-up mirror in the bathroom? The right lighting is of course the be-all and end-all when it comes to styling. If you put on your makeup in a dark, dim light and then go to the office to see your look in the daylight, you can have a rude awakening. Bad light can cause the wrong make-up tone to be used or a little too much rouge to be applied. Tip: In addition to a make-up mirror, there should also be a full-length mirror in the bathroom so that you can see your whole outfit when styling and doing your hair.

Decoration & Accessories: Shelves, Baskets & Books

Decorations and accessories in the bathroom? Not only bedrooms and living rooms deserve some great accessories! Accessories and decorative pieces not only look good, but can also bring color into your bathroom. But beware: less is more! While bathroom accessories add atmosphere, a room with too many accessories can quickly look chaotic and cluttered.

With a tray for the bathtub you can put candles, books, your laptop or a good glass of wine while bathing. Soap dispensers, mirrors and towels are not only indispensable due to their functional purpose, but can also provide colour-coordinated small splashes of colour and subtle accents.

A bathroom shelf with practical storage and decoration areas is particularly functional. In the small baskets of the shelf you will find enough storage space for shampoo, shower gel and make-up.

A real highlight and all-round talent is the Natural Basket. The woven basket is made of natural materials and can be used as a laundry basket as well as a planter for houseplants in the bathroom. Combined with towels and small decorative elements, the basket becomes a real eye-catcher in the bathroom.

Books and magazines for reading and browsing while bathing can find a place on the ledge above the toilet or on the shelf next to perfume bottles.

Lighting: LED lamps for a wellness feeling

Good lighting is the be-all and end-all in the bathroom. Especially when styling, it is important to have a bright bathroom with enough light. Directly near the mirror, lamps should be installed that illuminate your room well. It’s best to choose lighting that can be switched on and off separately.

For the wellness effect, the lighting should be warm and subdued. This can also be achieved with standard energy-saving lamps! A warm, yellowish light creates a space where you feel comfortable and secure.

LED lamps or RGB LED strip lights are a popular choice when it comes to spicing up your bathroom. The infinite choice of colors provides for individual lighting concepts: LEDs are available in single or multi-color and even gradient. Perfect for adding a bit of colour to your bathroom.

If you are looking for relaxation and calm, harmonious hours in the bathroom, a blue light is the perfect choice. Red, on the other hand, creates an active and invigorating feeling in the bathroom.

Tips for small bathrooms: use & design

Owners of small bathrooms in particular are always faced with the question of how best to furnish their bathroom functionally and stylishly. On average, the size of a German bathroom is 7.8 m², almost 30% of all bathrooms are smaller than 6m². Not enough space in your bathroom? How about moving some of your bathroom furniture into the bedroom or into an adjoining room? This will give you more space in your bathroom! For more tips on how to create more space in your bathroom, make your bathroom look bigger and have your own little spa paradise in your home soon, visit us.

Small and narrow furniture and fittings

Owners of small bathrooms should buy furniture, sanitary objects, fittings and equipment to match the size of the room. What many people don’t know is that a large number of products are also available in smaller compact shapes that take up less space. A good example is small washbasins, which take up little space and still look elegant.

Fewer tiles for a greater sense of space

Does your bathroom feel cramped to you? Then it’s time for a change! Where is the best place to start? The best place to start is with the tiles! If you use them sparingly, you’ll give the room more spaciousness. Open wall surfaces make the room feel more airy. In small bathrooms you should only lay tiles where it is absolutely necessary. For the area around the toilet, bath and washbasin, you should only lay the tiles halfway up, while for the area around the shower you can of course lay the tiles much higher. To improve the light conditions, you should choose light colours for the remaining walls and ceiling.

Using niches – corner shower

You have an alcove in the bathroom that you can’t really do anything with? Niches can also be integrated into the interior design. A round wall or a sharp angle can be used wonderfully as a shower. Equipped with small mosaic tiles, you can bring hidden corners to life and give your bathroom a unique charm.

Mirrors for more openness and brightness

A particularly good accessory for a small bathroom are mirrors. This accessory not only looks good, but is also a great trick to visually enlarge a bathroom and to add a few square meters to the bathroom. In addition, a mirror also makes the room look brighter and more open. The light is distributed in the room, this works best when the lighting is mounted directly on the mirror. A mirror becomes a special eye-catcher when it is illuminated from behind.

Working at height – towel ladders and other decoration

If you think there’s no room for decoration in a small bathroom, you’re wrong! Even if there is less space available than in a large spacious bathroom, you can transform your bathroom into something very special with a few small tips and tricks.

You don’t have a lot of square footage at your disposal, but what if instead of working in width, you just work in height? How about a towel ladder? In different colours, this not only becomes a stylish eye-catcher, but also serves as a space-saving storage surface when bathing and showering.

Fancy and opulent design

Small but nice! That should be the motto when it comes to designing your small bathroom. Be brave and go for something unusual! Especially noble tiles, opulent colours and contrasts – turn your small bathroom into a small temple of luxury. Create eye-catchers with unusual design objects and you’ll quickly forget about the small number of square metres!

Your checklist for a small bathroom

So that you have all points in view once again, we have summarized all tips for you here:

• Buy products in compact forms
• Too many tiles make you feel cramped
• Use niches in the bathroom (e.g. shower)
• Mirrors visually enlarge the room
• Working in height instead of width
• Fancy design with bright colors & contrasts

Off-white in the bathroom: bathrobe, towel & Co.

Fans will have to wait for a perfume from the brand, but you can still bring the Off-White flair into your bathroom with the practical home decor products that the label has in its range. Bathrobes and slippers don’t seem like much of a stretch for a clothing label. But did you know you can also get toothbrushes and combs in cool designs?

Silk robe, bathrobes and slippers with company logo

As if a silk robe wasn’t already the ultimate flex, you can take your game to the next level with the Arrow Pattern Silk Robe from Off-White. Made from 100% silk, the robe wraps you up softly and smoothly.

If the €600 for the silk robe is a little more than your budget, Off-White has an alternative for you. The label also offers a towelling bathrobe in the same print. At €275, this cotton robe is a little easier on the wallet and just as cool.

To match your new bathrobe, you can also add bath slippers to your shopping basket so that you don’t get cold feet in summer or winter.

Towels by Off-White: Everything in dry cloths

The cotton towels guarantee to keep you in control of any slippery shower situation. The terrycloth pieces are super absorbent and fluffy soft. Plus, practicality aside, they’re super stylish and add visual interest to a potentially otherwise boring room.

Combs for the perfect hairstyle: from fresh sides to mullet

Fine-toothed acetate combs from Off-White open the doors to a whole new world of possibilities. Long and short hair alike will benefit from the occasional touch-up with a comb and your styling product of choice. Off-White can’t offer that yet either, but who knows what the future holds.

Toothbrushes: My shiny teeth they twinkle

Yes, you read that quite right: Off-White offers a toothbrush that has their signature lettering embossed into the handle. The shape is quite unusual for a toothbrush. Unfortunately, there is no information available on how long you can use the €75 toothbrush. Probably, the object is not a toothbrush that you actually use, but rather something that serves as an accessory.

Pillows and blankets: Sweet dreams with home accessories

“Sweet dreams are made of this”: I wonder if the Eurythmics meant Off-White’s Homeware collection? Did they already dream of its existence back then? Probably not. But that doesn’t matter. One thing is certain: the pieces in the collection are particularly comfortable to lie on.

Fluffy pillows with monogram – embroidered or printed

If you’ve been looking for a cushion with a mohair-wool cover for ages, you’ll finally find it at Off-White. The white arrow logo of the brand is emblazoned on a black background. Otherwise it is kept very simple. However, the cushion comes with an extra fluff factor of at least 50% and is available in two sizes.

• Price: 275 – 400 €

Warm Off-White Blankets with Logo

Blankets with the logos of great designers are more popular than ever. These can not only be practical, but also look particularly good unused on the sofa or bed. With after all 68% wool content, the blankets stand out from the broad mass of throw blankets.

• Price: 900 €

Pyjamas for a restful sleep

There’s nothing better than taking a long shower after a hard day and then slipping into soft pyjamas and a freshly made bed. Off-White’s silky pyjamas are perfect for this purpose. In the design, which we already know from the robe, the towels and the slippers is also held the pajamas and complements the set perfectly.

• Cost: 680 €

Stools of the brand: colourful furniture for the office or your dressing room

Reminiscences of everyday office life can be found again and again in the fashion house’s collections. For example, the belts with paper clip chain. The home decor items also remain true to this simple design idea. The fabric prints with which the stools are provided are no exception to the rule, because they are reminiscent of sophisticated ballpoint pen drawings. A pretty cool idea that loosens up the strict colour scheme a little bit.

• Price: 460 €

Breakfast, lunch & dinner: Tableware and more

Unlike his good friend Kanye West, who also quite likes to dabble in interior design himself, Abloh pays more attention to the fine details. West has furnished the house for himself and his family in his classic-minimalist style with unusual elements. Of course, as a former architect, Abloh can’t resist creating something for the house. But it’s a bit surprising that this includes tableware, of all things.

Cups: Perfection was yesterday

Although straight lines and dimensional accuracy often play a major role in the field of design and interior architecture, breaking with norms can also have its appeal. Perhaps this is why Abloh has come up with something very special for his matte black cups, because they are unevenly shaped, which gives them an almost handmade appearance and a personal touch.

• Cost: 85 €

Breakfast Set: start the morning right

What better way to start the morning than with a hot coffee, tea or cocoa, accompanied by your personal favorite breakfast? Certainly a few things, but sometimes breakfast is unfortunately the highlight of the day. The Breakfast Set supports you at least in looking cool during breakfast and thus at least start the day with a good feeling.

• Cost: 150 €

Wallpapers: Patterns for the walls

Who thought that the walls in the perfect off-white at home are kept only in white-gray was mistaken, because the label has really put in the patterns of the wallpaper. Available are the rolls in the same prints that we already know from the stools. Abstract scenes and landscapes adorn the wall covering.

• Money quantum per roll: 525 €

IKEA x Virgil Abloh Collaboration

That the designer is a fan of collaboration, he has proven again and again in the past. Whether with Nike, Doc Martens, Converse – he is not too shy for anything. Equally, a collaboration means for the involved counterparts of course also a huge rush, on the often limited designs.

Whether the label founder also uses the collaborations to test how much he likes themes or whether it is worthwhile for him to expand the Off-White range to this area? Possibly.

Interview with Virgil Abloh about his IKEA collection “Markerad” – Video

The goal of the collection was for Abloh to create a collection that combined both the Swedish heritage of the furniture house and the design school that comes with it, with what he means by home and things he grew up with. You can get a glimpse of the final collection here:

Special: Living room furnishing with off-white

Living rooms are the place in the house to which most purposes are assigned. The living room is where you relax, where you work from time to time and where you receive guests. Therefore, it is especially important in this room to create an atmosphere that meets different states of mind and always creates a suitable environment.

Gucci Décor: furniture, decoration and wallpapers in maximalism

Before we get into the interior of Gucci, a little warning is in order: If you’re looking for understated interior design, you’ve come to the wrong place. The designs are characterized by

• Colorful embroidery
• Bright colors
• Unusual shapes
• Contrasting pattern combinations

Thus, however, the decor falls perfectly into the living trend maximalism. Alessandro Michele aims to bring joie de vivre into every room. For him, that means color and pattern. Not everything fits together perfectly, but in the overall picture it makes sense. And even in the maximalist home, the interior decoration by Gucci is still an eye-catcher.

Tip! All luxury brands for the perfect interior from A-Z can be found in our comprehensive XXL article Interior brands!

Interior design: breaking rules and crossing borders

Almost anything is allowed here. Thus, bulging, disorderly bookshelves can be an essential part of the room decoration.

There is no such thing as too much. Bright colors and unusual shapes characterize this interior design trend. The furniture and decoration should show that people live here. People live, work and relax. With home office possibilities, all this happens in one place. A clinically clean, empty environment is not necessarily desired. For this reason, maximalism can be found in more and more houses and apartments, because it allows personal collections to be displayed quite shamelessly.

“You can never have too much of a good thing”

However, a cluttered space can quickly become cluttered and overwhelming, so there are a few guides you can follow to get the most out of the trend:

• Avoid using more than 3-4 colors for one room
• Playing with sizes e.g. large decoration also finds space on smaller surfaces
• No fabric, no pattern should be like the surrounding ones

Video: Dita Von Teese’s maximalist home

The burlesque star is a fan of all things antique. This passion for collecting must of course find a place in her house and so it is filled with whimsical light installations, stuffed animals and a lot of antique furniture, which were specially refurbished for the performer.

Wallpaper: White walls were yesterday

If you’re looking for straightforward, minimalist interior design, you’re in the wrong place at Gucci, because the label has been inspired by different art styles. Among other things, this includes the grotesque. The prints of the wallpapers are paradoxical and distorted. Unnaturalness is here program. But exactly this makes them so unique. Boredom is a foreign word in the interior design of Gucci.

Grotesque prints & caricatures as a motto

The grotesque is a caricature of reality. The Grotesque wallpaper by Gucci features a distorted lion face and flowers of different sizes and colors. The distorted lion is the original grotesque element. It looks monstrous and unnatural. The print is not the only grotesque thing here, but also what people associate with this wallpaper. It is special and does not appeal to everyone, Applied to the wall, it can make a room look restless. In the right environment, however, the wallpaper brings life to the room. It stands out and seems almost noble. Combined with the right accessories, the wallpaper offers the chance to create a bizarre, but stylish atmosphere.

A new interpretation of a classic: Toile de Jouy

Toile-de-Jouy is the name of a fabric that originated in Jouy-en-Josas in France and was especially popular in the seventies. It was used in clothing collections and on sofas, armchairs and curtains. Gucci is now bringing the print to the wall, but with an extra touch of Rome. The finely detailed scene chosen for this wallpaper is reminiscent of paintings inspired by Roman mythology or ecclesiastical images, suggesting both antiquity and the Vatican in the design. However, neither the Vatican nor antiquity are actually depicted here, as Gucci wants to offer something new. The label also offers the Toile-de-Jouy-inspired print in a slightly more muted herbarium style.

Marmor / Marble: My home, a palace

For this wall art Gucci has not only brought the popular marble pattern on a wallpaper, but the image of marble wall coverings as they are found in villas and palaces of ancient Rome, but also in Versaille. The Gucci lettering has also found its place. Specifically, the wallcovering was inspired by the Musei Capitolini in Rome, which was the location of the label’s 2020 Cruise show.

Overview of the collection: Video

The items bring the Italian Dolce Vita of the seventies to your home. Wild colors and patterns exude pure joie de vivre and help to overcome the dreary everyday life. Gucci Décor has to be understood with a little irony on the one hand and best enjoyed with context on the other. Otherwise, the flashy designs can quickly become off-putting. We will try to provide the necessary background in the following.

Blankets and cushions in contrasting fabrics

The throws and seat cushions in the Décor collection do not appeal to all tastes. This is true of much of what can be found among the porcelain and wallpaper at Gucci. What is undeniable, however, is the kitschy charm that the items bring with them.

Embroidered cushions: Long live kitsch!

Grandma has embroidered cushions again in a frenzy. This thought comes to mind when you look at the wild creations that the label offers on its website. After all, she has to do something to come down again. And if the cushions then also go for 850€ over the counter, all the better. The crazy thing is, the unusual motifs are really adorable.

• Plaid wool cushion with fawn or butterfly
• Velvet cushion with tiger or cat embroidery
• Tweed cushion with tiger embroidery

Paired with fringe and high quality fabrics, the designs make you feel truly nostalgic. A very personal favorite is the cushion with teddy bear tapestry embroidery. Who isn’t happy to have this little guy waiting for you on the couch after a hard day. These pillows definitely score on the charm front. Plus, they all have a reverse side with a more neutral pattern. So if the feline predator’s eyes are relentlessly demanding a staring contest after a long day, there’s always the option of simply flipping the pillow over.

Jacquard cushion: also suitable for royal visit

Inspired by the cushions once used by English nobles in church, the brand offers jacquard cushions with the GG Monogram. Gucci’s signature bees and stars are also in the mix. If you’re looking for something more muted for room decor than the previous cushions, you’re probably better off with this version.

Blankets and throws for cosy couch evenings

Compared to many of the other designs, the blankets and throws by Gucci bring calmness into the room. Made of high-quality wool and in a practical reversible design, there are six different variations in the range. It’s all too easy to imagine swinging these blankets around your shoulders in winter and sitting by the crackling fire with a cup of tea in your hand. Do you still need an armchair to sit in or a cup to drink from? No problem, Gucci has a selection that’s sure to please.

• Brown/beige with bees and stars
• Brown checkered with GG logo in reversible design
• Red check with red GG stripes in reversible design
• Green-brown check with GG stripes in dark blue

Furniture: Maximalism at its peak

No two pieces should be the same. So that you don’t have the embarrassment of having uniform chairs, Gucci has made seating in the most striking colors and different combinations part of the collection. Besides chairs, there is a lot more furniture in the assortment that will help you upgrade your home:

• Chairs
• Stool
• Side tables
• Screens

Armchairs & furniture: whimsical patterns and Art Nouveau in a new guise

Art Nouveau or Art Nouveau refers to a stylistic epoch that emerged around the beginning of the 20th century. A special feature of the movement is the use of natural forms. These were then abstracted for furniture, jewelry and art and brought into a new form. Although the Gucci armchairs are not entirely inspired by Art Nouveau, the backs of the shell armchairs seem to pay homage to the period. The objects are made to order and hand embroidered.

The wing chairs are an absolute eye-catcher. In vintage look they are in no way inferior to their predecessors. Even fringes under the seat are included. The upholstery can be described in one word: Wicked. From octopus to pineapple, the fabric patterns are so unusual that you would never have thought to see something like this. At least not in real life, because the seat cushions look more like something out of a fever dream. The absolute highlight here is the green, blue and pink octopus jacquard armchair. If a whole armchair made of wild fabrics isn’t enough, you can also buy a contrasting stool to make the ensemble perfect.

• Cost: handmade seating € 2,700 – 6,000

Side tables: Gucci can also be practical

If you don’t have much storage space but don’t want to sacrifice style, you should take a look at the side tables by Gucci. These tables made of metal do not only look good, but are also foldable and offer the possibility to build them up as a storage surface and to store them easily again. The tables are available from 1.250 €.

Room dividers: A look into the archives

While the side tables provide a remedy for small rooms, the room dividers are rather made for the opposite problem. If a room is too big, the Spanish walls can be used for flexible room partitioning. But here too Gucci has gone for fancy fabrics and without further ado has taken a look into the archives. What the people in charge pulled out is a continuous bee motif from the seventies.

The screens are only made to order. Who decides to call such a unique piece soon his own must be prepared on the one hand for a certain waiting time and on the other hand expect to pay a proud price of 22,000 €. For this you get a quality product made of solid beech wood covered with finest jacquard fabric. If this is too much for you, you can choose a slightly cheaper version for 12.000€ with a metal frame. The lower price is not only due to the omission of the beech wood, but also comes from the fact that this version is quite a bit smaller.

Porcelain: Villeroy & Boch Who?

Porcelain at Gucci is not only teacups and pots. The brand also has jewellery caskets and candles made of the fine material on offer. Here, too, no muted patterns are to be expected. The small design objects stand out from the crowd, just like the large furniture.

Herbarium Porcelain: Flowering Ceramics

The pattern of the Herbarium porcelain may already be familiar to lovers of Gucci. Not only in the rest of the Home Decor collection the Toile-de-Jouy pattern appears again and again. Probably the most sold product, which was provided with the floral pattern, is the label of the Bloom perfume. If you look closely, you can see that the fabric structure, which is preserved in the Toile-de-Jouy printing technique, can also be found in the porcelain print.

• Costs: from 160 – 520€ for single pieces of the porcelain collection

Candles as exclusivity: Baby you light up my world

Does Harry Styles advertise for Gucci Décor? No. But we still couldn’t resist paying a little homage to the singer. Because he is not only the face of the brand, but also stands with his music a bit for the reinterpretation of 70s rock. And the seventies are also a guiding idea in the label’s interior design. Moreover, the candles not only help to create atmospheric light, but also spread a pleasant scent in the room. Depending on the model, this can be quite different, so some are floral and others fruity. Everyone gets their money’s worth here.

• Cost: depending on the size, the candles cost € 250 – 390.

Jewellery trays: Not only for jewellery

Small plates and open jars are officially advertised on the website as jewelry storage and they certainly do great for that. Keys and other valuables also find their place in the plates. But at first glance, with the 70s in mind, you have a different association: Back then, nothing went without a glow stick, fag, butt or whatever else you call the things. Smoking was simply en vogue. Of course Gucci got wind of this and points out in the small print that the porcelain piece also serves as an ashtray.

• Costs: from 150€ you can buy these jewellery trays
