Lifestyle women: the stylish design items that dress up the home
The women's lifestyle section brings together items for the home, not clothing: stylish wall clocks and alarm clocks Karlsson, candles and fragrance diffusers, radios Sangean, mosaic kits Pixel Corner. Gifts to treat yourself or others, to beautify an entryway, a living room or a bedside table.
Wall clocks and designer alarms
The designer wall clock is the star item in this section, and Karlsson offers a wide range of models: engraved numbers, iron dials, DIY clocks or ones to put on a shelf.
On a bare hallway or living room wall, a clock serves as both a marker and a decoration. Choose its size based on the wall: a large dial can be seen from afar, while a small one fits nicely above a desk.
The designer alarm clock, made of colourful rubber or metal, sits on a bedside table. If you sleep next to it, check the product details to ensure its movement is silent.
Scented candles and fragrance diffusers
Home fragrances create an atmosphere before you even notice the decor. The scented candle in a metal container from Wellmark is perfect for a coffee table or windowsill.
The Acqua Del Garda diffuser continuously scents a room without flames. For a bedroom, choose a lighter fragrance, placed away from the bed. In a hallway or bathroom, a stronger scent works better.
Tech and audio: devices you display
The tech and audio section features devices designed to be shown off. The Sangean radios, producing FM and DAB sets since 1974, capture digital radio in a retro design.
The Bluetooth speakers from MOB blend in as decorative objects. For movie nights, a ViewSonic projector turns a white wall into a screen.
Home decoration
home decoration section, the LED bulbs from Message in the Bulb display a glowing word on a shelf. The Pixel Corner kits are assembled by hand, piece by piece, into pixel art to hang.These items add finishing touches. A well-placed clock and candle can change a room without overwhelming it.

Arranging a room with decorative objects
Start with a strong focal point in each room: a clock in the entrance, a radio on the living room dresser, a candle on the bedside table. Each object then retains its place.
Keep to a similar material family in a room, metal with metal, wood with wood. All types of objects are gathered in the lifestyle categories.
What wall clock for which room?
In a kitchen, choose large, contrasting numbers that are easy to read at a glance while cooking. For a living room, a designer wall clock with a large dial serves as a centerpiece above a sofa or console.
In an office, a simple desk model stays in the line of sight without being distracting. For a bedroom, opt for a silent movement and a subtle dial.
Choosing a DAB+ radio
The DAB+ radio receives digital terrestrial radio: more stations and clearer sound where it is broadcast. Most receivers also capture FM, useful in areas still poorly covered.
Check the power source, whether mains or battery-operated, depending on whether the radio stays in one room or follows you to the garden. An integrated alarm clock also makes it a bedside unit.
Frequently asked questions
Does the lifestyle section contain clothing?
No. The lifestyle for women includes only home items: clocks, candles, diffusers, radios and decor. Clothes are found in the women's ready-to-wear.
Where to place a wall clock?
On a wall visible as you enter the room, at eye level or slightly above. In a kitchen, avoid placing it too close to cooking hobs.
Where to place a fragrance diffuser?
In a high-traffic area, such as an entrance or hallway, away from a heat source and out of reach of children. For a stick diffuser, turn the sticks occasionally to revive the fragrance.
What is a DAB+ radio?
It's a radio that receives digital terrestrial radio, featuring more stations and clearer sound than FM. Most models also receive FM.
How to make a scented candle last?
Let it burn the first time until the entire surface is melted, to prevent it from hollowing out in the center. Trim the wick before each use.
