Home accessories from hell – part 4

Translation: Eva Francis
Famously, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. These items from our decorative range, however, go far beyond the question of mere taste. Welcome to part 4 of my personal interior design nightmare.
Lighthouses without light
«True to nature replicas» aka fakes
And they never change. Unless they’re left in the sun for too long. Then their colour fades and end up in the bin. Having said that, I’ve actually seen fake plants in gardens. Who does such a thing? If I’m going have a garden, I might as well look after real plants. I want to go outside and be in nature, right?
Staging beach souvenirs
I’ve never been a fan of glass bowls filled with decorative sand – sometimes featuring cacti or shells that look like they’re fighting quicksand. I get the fascination with sand at the seaside. Sure, a sandy beach looks pretty. But I don’t want to have anything to do with sand in a hotel room, let alone feel it anywhere on my body. So why on earth would I bring it home, even if it’s a fake decorative version? To drown pretty plants in it?
