3) $142,000 Diamond Dust Television Cabinet
Enough of Swarovski encrusted stuff, let’s not forget diamonds and gold are equally appropriate in inviting the attention of people. Featured above this opulent TV cabinet that is designed using 80-year-old German Ahorn plank incorporated across the front. The LED lights mechanism of ruby red television cabinet makes it glow even when all lights are off. Ready to accommodate your flat-screen, the shiny cabinet is the result of 25 layers of hand-polishing and 50 carats of real diamond dust. It sports center lift system, four touch-open drawers; bar drawer (on left) and an additional lift mechanism on the right. Priced at $142,000 this cabinet would undoubtedly cost you more than the TV.
2) Hi-Tech Bathtub Bears Red Diamond Touch
I just thought the information about Swarovski-studded toilet and daydream bathing doesn’t making your bathing experience complete. It still misses the presence of a deluxe bathtub that can be well fulfilled by the installation of the Red Diamond bathtub. Proving the substance of its name, it breeds the red shade and flaunts its integrated Swarovski crystals. Designer Aldo Puglielli has addressed a new meaning to bathroom via this deluxe bathtub. It provides facilities’ like massage, multicolor lightning and comes equipped with champagne holder.
1) Gold Clad Walls for a Kingly Manor
Giving a final touch to your bejeweled home is the elite offering of gold-slapped walls. Not all diamond and Swarovski can do justice to the persona of your kingly manor. Rightly said: Old is gold! The designer offering am pointing towards is the custom built Gold Aluminum Laminate that does away with the ordinary paints. Coming from the house of 3form, this is the only way to let bling vibes’ rotate in your home.
