When most of us have finished decorating a particular room we often stand back and admire the work and effort that was put into it. The way that all the pieces run together, the contrasting colours, the smooth running lines of the furniture and the way that every piece in the room seems to compliment each other. It’s only then that you notice that there is a particular space on one of the main walls, a place where you could show off something really special.

People have often tried to find that ’special’ piece for their rooms, often looking through antique showrooms, attending auctions sites and even visiting galleries miles from their homes.

We at Du Veldt Interiors understand that people like to have that special piece, so we have traveled the world and found some of the best unique contemporary art, so that people can have that special piece displayed in their room.

How many times have we been invited to attend a house warming party just to find that the present we hand over is nestled down beside identical gifts and the host just looks at you with that “wry” smile saying “thanks”. Suddenly, your experiencing one of those awkward moments which can turn embarrassing very quickly. What do you say? How do you react? And more importantly how can you avoid this happening again?

Unfortunately, embarrassing moments are always going to happen, however you can minimise the risk if you think outside the ‘box’, avoid buying gifts such as toasters, kettles, pans and soft furnishings – you can also be bold and ask the host what they would like to receive as a gift but don’t count on getting a definite reply.

We at Du Veldt Interiors pride ourselves in thinking outside the ‘box’ and have came up with a selection of unusual home accessories and fabulous gifts for either yourself or for someone else. One of the best products is our Wooden Egg Cabinet which can hold up to 12 eggs. This unusual gift will sit nicely in anyone’s kitchen and will be a conversation starter from the moment you hand it over.
