Decoration

Decoration is what gives a home personality. At Dims Studio you'll find a colourful range of wall decor, ceramic figures and small, playful decorative pieces from GiftCompany, Goio Galore, Kersten and Studio About, among others. The range spans from large animal heads in polyresin for the wall, through hand-painted figures in Italian ceramics, to jewellery and small decor objects that give a personal touch to a shelf or a chest of drawers. Here's a guide to the types, materials, motifs and brands in the range, so you can find the decoration that suits your home.

Types of decoration

Decoration is a broad category, and at Dims Studio the range is built around a few clear groups: wall decor, ceramic figures, and smaller decorative pieces and jewellery.

Wall decor in polyresin

The most striking group in the range is wall decor shaped like animal heads and sea creatures from GiftCompany. Here you'll find the Pink Leopard wall decor, Panther Head wall decor and Leopard Head wall decor, all in polyresin with a graphic, colourful look, as well as the Pink Octopus wall decor and Shark wall decor, which bring the sea onto your wall. The wall decor pieces mount directly on the wall and work as a single, clear eye-catcher.

Figures in ceramics

The range also includes a series of figures in ceramics and porcelain. Under Selected by dims studio you'll find Italian ceramics from Ceramiche F.L. Orgia, including a Carrot figure and a Giant Lemon figure, both hand-painted with an artistic, naive look. From Caja Company and GiftCompany come figures with a sea motif too, such as the Lobster figure and the Rainbow Fish figure in ceramics.

Dishes and bowls as decoration

A few pieces in the collection are dishes and bowls with a clearly decorative shape, such as the Rainbow Fish dish in stoneware and the Shell bowl in ceramics from &Klevering. They can be used for serving, but work just as well as colourful decoration when not in use, for example leaned against a wall or displayed on an open shelf.

Jewellery and small decorative pieces

Under Decoration you'll also find a series of jewellery from the Belgian brand Goio Galore, including the rings Spirala, Sana, Paco, Rola, Hamsa and Klera, as well as the Freja necklace and the Genua earring plus the Faciligi and Saturno earrings. The jewellery is part of the broader decor category and, like the other decoration objects, can be used to add colour and personality.

Playful decor objects

Finally, the range includes a few more whimsical objects: the Cake snow globe from &Klevering, a classic snow globe with a cake motif, the Ochre Yellow Palm Leaf from Studio About, a paper object shaped like a palm leaf, and the Croissant LED lamp in sandstone from Kersten, a lamp shaped like a croissant.

Materials: polyresin, ceramics and sandstone

The materials in the decoration range are chosen to stand up to display and carry colour well.

Polyresin

The wall decor from GiftCompany is made from polyresin, a light and robust material well suited for casting detailed shapes such as animal heads. Polyresin is easy to mount on the wall and withstands normal indoor use without needing special maintenance.

Ceramics and porcelain

The figures from Selected by dims studio and the dishes from &Klevering are hand-painted ceramics. The hand-painting means each figure can vary slightly in colour and detail, which is a natural part of the handmade look.

Sandstone and glass

The Croissant lamp from Kersten is made from sandstone, which gives a soft, diffuse light when switched on. The Cake snow globe from &Klevering is glass with liquid, a classic construction that should be handled carefully.

How to care for your decoration

• Wipe wall decor in polyresin with a slightly damp cloth, and avoid harsh cleaning agents.
• Hand-painted ceramic figures shouldn't sit in direct sunlight for many hours a day, as the colours can fade over time.
• Shake the snow globe gently and avoid dropping it, as the glass can break.
• Always follow the specific guidance for LED lamps, including which type of bulb can be used.

Decoration for the living room, hallway and kids' room

Where the decoration will be placed affects which type suits best.

Living room

In the living room, large wall decor pieces such as Panther Head or Pink Leopard work well as a single eye-catcher on an otherwise calm wall. The ceramic figures can be grouped together on a shelf or coffee table for a more personal look.

Hallway

The hallway is the first thing guests see, and here a wall decor piece like Shark or Octopus can work as a surprising welcome. See also our entrance hall decor category for more inspiration for the room.

Kitchen

The Shell bowl and Rainbow Fish dish can stay on display in the kitchen as colourful decoration while still being ready to use for serving.

Kids' room

The colourful animal motifs, both in ceramics and polyresin, can add a playful touch to a kids' room. Note that dishes and sharp-edged figures should be placed so younger children can't reach them.

Brands behind the decoration

The range brings together decoration from several brands, each contributing their own look.

GiftCompany

The German brand GiftCompany is behind most of the wall decor in polyresin, including the leopard, panther and shark motifs, as well as the Rainbow Fish figure in ceramics. What GiftCompany's pieces have in common is a clear, graphic animal motif.

Goio Galore

The Belgian jewellery brand Goio Galore supplies rings, earrings and necklaces in the Ethereal Eyes series and the rest of the collection, including Spirala, Sana, Paco, Rola, Hamsa and Klera.

Selected by dims studio

Under Selected by dims studio you'll find hand-painted Italian ceramics from Ceramiche F.L. Orgia, including the Carrot figure and the Giant Lemon figure, which represent the more artistic and naive side of the range.

Studio About, Kersten, &Klevering and Caja Company

Studio About contributes the Ochre Yellow Palm Leaf, a paper object for the shelf. Kersten is behind the Croissant lamp in sandstone, while &Klevering supplies the Shell bowl and Rainbow Fish dish, and Caja Company contributes the Lobster figure in ceramics. What the four brands have in common is that each adds a single, characteristic piece to the range rather than a whole series, which makes them good at complementing the larger brands with a detail.

How to style decoration in your home

Decoration is about giving a room character without it becoming cluttered. Here are a few principles you can use when putting together pieces from the range.

Let one piece carry the wall

A single wall decor piece, such as Panther Head or Shark, works best alone on an otherwise calm wall, where it can stand as the room's natural eye-catcher without competing with other colourful elements. Avoid placing several large wall decor pieces close together, as this can make the look cluttered rather than clean.

Group smaller figures together

Figures in ceramics, such as the Carrot figure and Lobster figure, come into their own when grouped together in small clusters of two to three pieces on a shelf or coffee table, rather than scattered around the room. Place the figures close together, and let the height vary a little, so the group reads as one composed corner rather than randomly placed objects.

Mix colours thoughtfully

Since many of the pieces in the range have bold colours, such as pink, orange and yellow, it's a good idea to keep the rest of the room's colour palette calmer, so the decoration gets to stand out as the clear pop of colour.

Swap the decoration to match your mood

Because several of the pieces are small and easy to move, like the ceramic figures and the smaller decor objects, they can easily be rotated between different shelves and rooms, depending on where you want a colourful touch. This lets you vary your home's look without investing in new, larger furniture.

Combine materials for depth

A room decorated with only one material can quickly feel flat. Try mixing the soft surface of the ceramic figures with the more graphic look of the polyresin wall decor, or add a touch of metal with one of the Goio Galore jewellery pieces laid out on a tray.

Jewellery as part of the decoration range

Although most of the collection is home decor, it also includes a series of jewellery from Goio Galore, including the rings Spirala, Sana, Paco, Rola, Hamsa and Klera, plus the Freja necklace and the Genua, Faciligi and Saturno earrings. The jewellery is part of the Ethereal Eyes series and the rest of the Goio Galore collection, and shares the colourful, playful look found throughout the rest of the range. Several of the rings come in multiple sizes, so you can find the right fit.

Gift ideas with decoration

Decoration is an easy gift, because it suits most homes and rarely needs to match a particular size or style. Smaller figures, such as the Carrot figure or Giant Lemon figure, plus jewellery from Goio Galore, work well as a hostess gift or a birthday gift. For a bigger gift, such as a housewarming present, one of the large wall decor pieces can be a fun, striking choice. See also our full range of gift ideas if you're looking for more inspiration.

Motifs in the range: animals, food and sea

Across materials, a few motif groups recur in the decoration range, and they can be used as a shortcut to finding pieces that go together.

Animal motifs

Big cats like leopard and panther recur both in the wall decor from GiftCompany and as part of the colourful look the range is known for. The motifs are stylised rather than lifelike, giving them a graphic, modern look on the wall that suits the rest of Dims Studio's colourful range.

Sea motifs

Octopus, shark, lobster and fish recur across several materials, from polyresin wall decor to ceramic figures and dishes. The sea motifs are a recurring theme in the range and can be combined across materials for a cohesive look, for example a shark wall decor piece paired with a fish figure on the shelf below. The motifs suit a home with a maritime or coastal style particularly well.

Food motifs

The Giant Lemon figure, Carrot figure and Cake snow globe are examples of food motifs that give a playful, everyday feel. The motifs work well in the kitchen or somewhere they can be seen up close, so the details come into their own, and they also make good conversation pieces when guests notice them.

Decoration through the seasons

Although the range isn't seasonal, several pieces can be used to mark a season or an occasion.

Spring and summer

The colourful, playful motifs, such as the lemon figure and the sea creatures, suit a light, airy summer decor well, where they can stand out as a fresh touch alongside more neutral colours.

Autumn and winter

The Croissant LED lamp gives a cosy, warm light that suits the darker months, while the Ochre Yellow Palm Leaf can add a warm colour note to an autumn decor. Both also work well as part of your Christmas decorations, if you prefer a more understated look than traditional Christmas decor.

Frequently asked questions about decoration

What is wall decor made of?

Most of the wall decor in the range, such as the leopard, panther and shark motifs from GiftCompany, is made from polyresin, which is light and robust enough to hang directly on the wall.

Can the ceramic figures vary in colour?

Yes, hand-painted figures, including those from Selected by dims studio, can vary slightly in colour and detail from figure to figure, which is a natural part of the handmade look.

How do I mount a wall decor piece?

The polyresin wall decor pieces have mounting holes on the back, so they can be hung like a regular picture or mirror. Use fittings that suit the weight of the piece and your wall type.

Which brands are behind the decoration at Dims Studio?

The range brings together decoration from GiftCompany, Goio Galore, Selected by dims studio, Studio About, Kersten, &Klevering and Caja Company, among others.

Can ceramic decoration be kept outdoors?

The words are often used interchangeably. Decoration broadly covers objects that give a room character, while decor often refers to smaller, decorative details, both of which are found in the range.

Which decoration suits a colourful living room?

What does decoration cost at Dims Studio?

Prices vary from item to item and are shown on each product page.
