Renovating? Decorating!

Would you like to fall in love again? For example, with your own home? Sometimes it doesn’t take much at all. You don’t have to paint all the walls, often it’s just small details that breathe new life into the old and familiar. A stylish vase or handmade candle holder to catch the eye, decorative cushions in totally new colors, an elegant plaid throw over the sofa: All of this can work wonders. At "decorare" and "Manufacture Gallery", you can find just these kinds of pieces: lovingly combined and perfect for anyone who does not want to change much. Our conclusion: Decorating is the new renovating!

Gardening joy and balcony bliss

Outdoors is the new indoors by summer at the latest. Our tip: Prepare everything now so that you can enjoy the warm half of the year to the full from the beginning. The 2025 outdoor trends are based on natural materials such as bamboo, recycled wood, ceramics and natural stone. This is not only environmentally friendly, but also stylish. At "Beliani" you can find everything you need for your summer oasis: from planters and garden furniture, to sun protection and outdoor textiles, and romantic fairy lights. 

And for those who prefer chilling in the shade: "Move & Park" keeps your parasols exactly where you need them. With clever ready-to-go bases – or custom-made to your requirements. Turning your balcony, garden or patio into an absolute dream destination. And all without checking in.

Ready to barbecue?

What do you fancy: a gas, charcoal or electric barbecue? When it comes to barbecuing there’s not just one type – there’s your type. Some want heat at the push of a button, others prefer smoke like in Texas. And there are even magic barbecues for pizza baking or smoking on the balcony and in the garden. It’s good that "Beliani" has the right barbecue for almost every preference. And the best thing is: When you pay with your American Express Card, you receive a discount of CHF 100 when you make a purchase worth CHF 299 or more. Not just on barbecues or fireplaces – but on the whole range. Pretty hot, right? 

And if it does rain …

The sky is gray and the ground is dusty? No reason to be in a bad mood! Now’s a perfect time to put your feet up, open an exciting magazine like "BILANZ" or catch up on your favorite film. Ideally on your new cinematic TV from "Samsung" with powerful soundbar. Turning the pelting of the rain into the perfect background for great stories. By the way, you can now get your personal "Samsung" home theater with 20% discount with your American Express Card.

Things are even cozier when your home is sparkling. But how can you do your spring clean without breaking out into a sweat? Quite simply: Leave it to the pros – for example, from "Batmaid". So it’s not only the sun’s rays that shine brighter after the rain but your windows too. And while the Batmaids are doing their work, you have time for culinary highs: for example, at "MAMA & ZITA" in Geneva or at "timz. Spycher" in Mettmenstetten, Zurich. Places that almost feel as homely as your own home. Just with a bit more of a pampering program.
