Courtesy of Artful Living Luxury Style + Travel Magazine – Minneapolis, Minnesota, we not only know that some well-directed and handsome investments can make any home look absolutely gorgeous, but we also know how to go about it as well. However, today’s list will cover five décor items that are so ridiculously expensive that no one can justify them unless money truly means very little to you!
Le Grand Queen Bathtub
If you thought that luxurious tub in your home was expensive, it’s time to take a look at the Le Grand Queen. Made out of the renowned Caijou gemstones that are famous for their exceptional healing abilities, the Simon Krapf-designed tub comes with an astonishing price tag of $1.74 million! Consider the fact that in order to find and excavate a Caijou that’s of the right size for the artist to curve a 205 cm bathtub out of it, it took in excess of 120,000 hours, and the price may start to make more sense.
The Swarovski Toilet Seat
Diamonds and expensive crystals are probably not the first things that come to mind when someone is trying to find a toilet seat for their new home, but that is not stopping Swarovski from making these. The toilet seats can cost anywhere between $75,000 – $115,000, depending on the model, and rest assured that the thousands of Swarovski crystals will make you feel rich, even at your most vulnerable moment.
Pietra Firma LuxTouch Floor Tiles
The floor tiles are an important part of the décor in any home, so if you opt for any of the designs offered by Pietra Firma, you better not be covering them up with carpets! If you are wondering what’s so special about these, then know that each tile is made using pieces from abalone shells, mother of pearls, black onyx, and diamonds. Every 10 square feet will set you back by a million dollars or so, which is the average cost of a 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom house in some of the poshest neighborhoods in the United States.
Baldacchino Supreme Bed
The bed is a luxurious piece of furniture and a lot of people shell out good money to make sure that it’s a good one, but the Baldacchino Supreme takes it to an all new level. The bed is made out of pure 24-carat gold and has about 107 kgs of it! The rest of the handmade decorations are nothing short of stunning either and the buyer can customize the designs to their own liking. The $6.3 million golden bed is Stuart Hughes’ creation and it’s the most luxurious bed in existence today.
Ron Arad’s Stainless-Steel Sofa
When the sofa you are looking at was displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York at one time, you know that you will have to pay a pretty penny to own it. The stainless-steel sofa really is a piece of art, but you may not enjoy sitting on it as much as you should, given this piece of furniture just cost you $300,000!
While the five on this list are enough to shock anyone, keep in mind that this is not a comprehensive list by any means because there always seems to be a demand for exclusivity among the superrich.
