That’s where we come in: the interdisciplinary design team at Bruno Wickart in Zug. With heart, style and intellect, we design rooms that are not only beautiful, but also harmonious. Our mission: to turn your flat into a real home – whether for a year or forever.Buy VITRA accessories at www.bruno-wickart.ch

10 practical furnishing tips for expats – straight from our team

  1. Start with a mood board. Even before you start drilling. Colours, shapes, moods – we’ll be happy to help you create it.
  2. Combine your favourite pieces with new furniture. This is how you tell your story. More about style advice here.
  3. Multifunctionality is king. Choose a modular sofa instead of a couch with dogmas – worth its weight in gold, especially in city flats.
  4. Go for smart lighting. Warm, dimmable, zoned. Our selection of lights will put you in the right light.
  5. Plan storage space strategically. Especially for temporary living. You can find clever storage ideas here.
  6. Decoration? Yes – but deliberately. It’s better to have one statement piece than ten decorations.
  7. Use textiles to quickly create atmosphere. Curtains, rugs, cushions: small gesture, big effect.
  8. Colours instead of strangers. A wall in your favourite colour helps more than another poster of Lake Zurich.
  9. Invest in a really comfortable chair. For working, reading, being. Here are our favourite models for expats.
  10. Let us guide you. We offer you a free initial consultation to give you clarity and style. Make an appointment.
