Interior design inspiration in Lüneburg

Lüneburg is a beautiful city with an interesting history, but also with interesting food and interior design products. The last summer, I spent one full day here, taking the chance to visit some shops with home ideas. Out of them, two really invited me to spend more time exploring their products. Both of them are situated close to the shopping area, hosted in typical red bricked houses. One is Wohnzutaten - translated as 'Home ingredients'.

The space is small and the products are often stucked one near the others. If the mess near the entrance might not be inspiring for everyone, some corners exhibit interesting matches. 

It seems that the various turquoise based combinations are the favourites and it helps a bit to focus in the sea of so many objects.

From various pieces of furniture, for the living room or the garden, to diverse small designed objects, it is hard to leave this store without buying a little or big souvenir. The small copper pots on the white shelves are my temptation no. 1.

Even I feel like swimming among various objects, I really want to see everything. Wish there is a better space management though...

From bedroom mirrors to bathroom soap boxes or towels or pillow covers, there are enough things for every budget. The prices are mostly moderated, but the customer service did not impress me.

The second shop was more focused, better organised and even harder to leave: Froken Dina, offering samples of Danish interior design.

The Teddy bears are just lovely and I can hardly keep my promise of not buying anything before the baby is delivered to the world.

The white furniture makes me think at a dolls' house. Everything can be fit into a small space either for a boy or a girl.

White is the predominant colour of furniture a choice that I do not always fancy. At work, for instance, my very white IKEA desk should be very often cleaned because it keeps the memory of every single meal I have there. Especially for small children, white is not recommended at all.

 The style reminded me of country houses, especially the lamps.

There are a lot of kitschy small decorations, that can bring some warm in a kid's room. At least until he or she figures out that a modern change is needed.

Some beautiful teddy bears and a colourful lamp can be enough though. The prices are affordable and the customer service was ready to help with suggestions and recommendations.

As in the case of the previous shop, the space is cramped with too many things and you need a lot of time to figure out where can you find what you are looking for. 

But again, take your time and don't forget to think twice before leaving without one of the lovely stuffed animals.

The summer is over now and a new visit to Lüneburg is out of question for now on. However, it was a lovely opportunity to get to know not only the history and museums, but also some inspiring interior design shops.
