Household goods make us think of the day-to-day, boring chores that must be done and the things we pile into our baskets when we make the mandatory trip to the supermarket. But while you are walking down the toilet paper isle at your local grocery shop, luxury brands and artists have created everyday items, which give a whole new meaning to the word “homely”.
Gold plated pick: $ 550
The House of Solid Gold, a luxury brand, which specialises in gold items, will ensure that you never again think of toothpicks as an irritating, if necessary, part of your post-dinner ritual. Their 24-carat gold-coated toothpicks studded with precious gemstones, like diamonds and sapphires, come for $550 each. Crafted by hand, with a distinct art-deco look, these toothpicks are a great addition for any collector.
Ra ra vroom $ 18,993
The Crystal Ergorapido Vacuum turns cleaning up the living room rug into a glamorous venture. Not only is the cleaner super-lightweight and easy to use, it is also encrusted completely with 3,730 Swarovski crystals. The price for this chic and functional implement is a whopping $ 18,993, making it one of the most expensive cleaning gadgets in the world.
Knife with an edge $39,600
Chopping and dicing are given a polished sheen with the Nesmuk Diamond Knife. Designed by Hoffman Piper and Quentin Nel, who are known for their beautiful jewellery pieces, the knife is one of the sharpest in the world. But, for a carbon steel blade and a diamond-studded sterling silver handle, you have to be willing to shell out $39,600.

Their 22-carat gold toilet paper may ultimately be money down the drain but, for the stunning price of $1,376,900, you can show off your wealth like nothing else.

The 24-carat gold bottle, with its exclusive design by the late Amedeo Clemente Modigliani, is filled with water sourced from France and Fiji.
