The 5 best design decor gift ideas to give all year long
At Maison Sarah Lavoine, we have always believed that beauty makes you feel good. Whether you're looking for a designer decorative gift for Mother's Day, a birthday, a housewarming, or simply to please someone without a specific occasion — the perfect idea exists. It lies in a noble material, a just color, an object that will last. Here is our selection of five high-end decorative gifts designed for all desires, all budgets, all year round.
1. A designer light fixture — because light changes everything
There are gifts you don't forget. A designer light fixture is one of them. Giving a beautiful lamp is giving an atmosphere — that of evenings, dinners, suspended moments. Our light fixtures are born from a simple conviction: light must be beautiful before being functional. Artisanal ceramics, cotton or raffia lampshades, braided cables, meticulous finishes — each piece is designed as a decorative design object in its own right.
Our icon: The Sicilia lamp
Enameled ceramic base, natural cotton lampshade. Available in Sarah Blue, Linden Sprout, Ocher, or Black. One of the Maison's signature pieces.
Our Favorite: The Tower lamp
Enameled ceramic base, cotton lampshade. The reactive enamel, the result of exceptional artisanal work, offers an extra texture that adds depth to the room it illuminates with plays of light and reflections. This collection is part of our 2026 novelties.
- Artisanal manufacturing, noble materials — ceramic, cotton, raffia
- Other products in different forms: table lamps, floor lamps, or wall lights
- Ideal for a housewarming or a couple's gift
- Sarah Blue, the Maison's emblematic shade, available on several models
2. Vase, candle, candlestick, pocket tray — objects that inhabit an interior
It's often the smallest pieces that make the biggest impact. An artisanal ceramic vase, a designer scented candle, a candlestick placed on a coffee table — these objects don't just decorate, they inhabit. They say something about who you are and what you love. At Maison Sarah Lavoine, we design them as interior jewels: every shape is considered, every color chosen with intention.
Our Best-seller: Riviera Vase
Enameled ceramic, made in Portugal. The Maison's iconic stripe in bold colors. A timeless classic. (from €68)
Fragrance offer: TamTam Candle
Natural fig-scented wax, artisanal ceramic container. A candle: an object to burn and keep. Totem spirit, vibrant colors.
Signature object: Oscar / Slave Candlestick
The Oscar, hand-lacquered with Vietnamese craftsmanship. The Slave, in artisanal ceramic with slender curves. From €28.
- Accessible designer gifts, perfect for all budgets
- Pieces designed to be combined: vase + candlestick + tray = harmonious composition
- Natural materials: ceramic, vegetable wax, lacquered wood
- The graphic pocket tray: the functional object that doesn't sacrifice aesthetics
3. Throw or cushion — the elegance of a soft gesture
Giving a designer cushion or a quality throw is offering comfort with character. At Maison Sarah Lavoine, textiles are never there just for show. Our high-end decorative cushions stand out — they have a pattern, a material, a color that makes a statement. A cushion on a neutral sofa, and the room comes alive. It's as simple, and as powerful, as that.
Signature textile: Graphic cushions
Velvet, cotton, embroidery, or printed pattern — some handmade. A wide range of sizes, materials, and colors to suit all interiors.
Softness & style: Wool throw
A throw that warms as much as it decorates. The colors are chosen to naturally blend with other pieces in the collection.
- Universal gift, suitable for all profiles and interior styles
- Color palette consistent with all collections
- Mainly European manufacturing, carefully selected materials
4. A durable piece of furniture — the gift that lasts
Giving a designer armchair or a high-end chair is a strong statement. A well-chosen piece of French designer furniture endures years, moves, and trends. At Maison Sarah Lavoine, every piece of furniture is designed to last — in its construction as well as its aesthetics. Contemporary lines, noble materials, predominantly European manufacturing: this is what you offer when you give a piece of furniture from the Maison.
Durable piece: Bozzolo Armchair
Steel structure, velvet upholstery. Enveloping and contemporary lines. A strong presence in a living room, without overwhelming it.
Signature design: Double Jeu Chairs
Solid wood or steel legs, upholstered fabric seat. Pieces designed for both dining rooms and offices.
- Predominantly manufactured in Europe — and in France for many pieces
- Noble materials: velvet, solid wood, steel, ceramic
- Aesthetic furniture designed to last
- Ideal gift for a wedding, housewarming, or milestone birthday
- Each piece embodies the Maison's commitment to responsible and sustainable design
- Our boutiques in Paris, Bordeaux, Biarritz, Lyon, and Aix-en-Provence are available to advise you and customize sofas
5. Beautiful ceramic tableware — the art of French table setting
Setting a beautiful table is a way to honor those you host. And the artisanal ceramic tableware you choose says a lot about the attention paid to daily pleasures. Our Sicilia collection was born from a collaboration with Jars — a French ceramist, a "Living Heritage Company" (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) — and that's precisely what we love about this gift: it has a story. A savoir-faire. A reason to be beautiful beyond the surface. Giving designer tableware is giving every meal that follows.
Emblematic collection: Sicilia Tableware × Jars
Matte and enameled ceramic, made in France. Plates, bowls, mugs, salad bowls, dishes — a complete collection that dresses the table with character and durability.
Brand elegance: Sarah Tableware
The dish must be as beautiful as it is delicious. Made from resistant stoneware, Sarah plates have a special feature: the patterns are applied using the "chromo" technique.
- Made in France by Jars, a Living Heritage Company (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant)
- Complete collection: plates, bowls, mugs, teapots
- Dishwasher safe, artisanal quality preserved over time
- Can be offered individually — for a personalized gift
- The perfect gift for lovers of cooking and beautiful shared meals
What unites these five categories? The same conviction that has guided the Maison since its beginnings: beauty makes you feel good. And a beautiful gift is something that lasts, that settles in, that finds its place in a life.

They are available in all our boutiques in France — in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Aix-en-Provence, and Biarritz — as well as on our website with delivery to metropolitan France.

These objects are designed to last — in their construction as well as their aesthetics.
What gift should I give for Mother's Day in designer decor?
For Mother's Day, we suggest an object that brings daily pleasure: an artisanal ceramic TamTam candle, a Riviera vase, or a graphic velvet cushion. These pieces combine beauty and utility, and can be found in our online gift selection as well as in all our boutiques.
