Home Improvement

Monday, 16 Jul 2012

Let’s face it, you are the queen of accessories. And we are not just talking about your fashion style.

You’re constantly on the lookout for great talking points for your home – those finishing touches and objects of desire that transform your house into your home. And what about buying those perfect gifts for friends and family?

We’ve found your answer: Gaia Living.

This new furniture and homewares haven is becoming as well known for great accent pieces and gifts as it is for for their customizable pieces.

Want to add a touch of colour? Then check out Gaia Living’s latest range of pottery vases with a duo tone finish in a variety of colours. Or pick up their signature dragonflies in lime, aqua, sunflower, or pink – they look just great sitting on bookshelves or consoles.

There are failsafe options like stylish photo frames- and trust us, it’s incredibly hard finding well-priced, high-quality frames here – and quirky pieces like wooden tropical fruit that you won’t find elsewhere.

For practical souls, Gaia stocks a great range of recycled aluminum tableware and vases, and the gorgeous one of a kind occasional chairs.

Their handmade Australian soaps look and smell good enough to eat so make sure you have a supply to give as gifts and to fragrance your home.

Come mid-August, Gaia Living will receive a new container of goodies including some cool contemporary pieces like bright-coloured Buddha heads in a lacquer finish and colourful (and oh so adorable) pottery elephants.

They’re known to sell out quickly, so to get your mitts on these gorgeous items, make sure to head down soon.

‘Cos really – recycled wood from 250-year-old fishing boats? That’s South East Asian history you’d be lucky to buy.
