For some reason croquet has the air of kings and queens about it. So I suppose by default it’s going to have a luxury image. Aside from that, it’s a great game for any lawn.
Harrods in London retail this excellent set for £299 ($550).
It’s described as a:
“Full size Croquet set In pine wooden Box 4 Natural ash mallets Set of Hoops 4 balls hoop clips winning peg corner flags and rules.
Size: 113cm x 30cm x 20cm”

If you can bear the really irritating, obtrusive ads, check out the forbes.com most expensive cars of 2006.
The stunning Bugatti Veyron that we took a look at here tops the list but no mention of the Ferrari P4/5 which we reviewed here.
Interestingly, the majority of the list are drawn from auto companies outside the super car mainstream.
Innovations like this towel rail holder can really make all the difference in making your home truly luxurious.
Aesthetically it’s smooth lines ooze quality and sophisticated design. Dough Heat say:
“Striking in its design, aroma has a subtle flowing profile. As its name suggests, aroma features an aromatherapy heated pool, which creates an ambience for a relaxing bathroom experience.
Towels that are in use can be placed and dried at both sides of the product through the heated side apertures. The sculptural, relaxed form of aroma allows rolled up bath towels to be stored and aired ready for use.
Although aroma looks effortless, the technology within the product is an advancement in heated towel rail innovation. Its fully electric, localised heat gives efficiency where it’s needed. The only hint of this technology is shown where the user interacts with the product, with its machined pop-out temperature control knob.”

This bath/hammock is quite a nice concept, combining two of the most relaxing ways to spend time horizontal. Aesthetically it looks pretty pleasing too. But how practical is it?
The bath is constructed of polyurethene and steel frame, but surprisingly it offers flexibility that moulds to the shape of the body. That’s got to make it amazingly comfortable!
The tub itself is suspended between two elegant stainless steel poles that also feed the water and provide a perch for soap and shampoo.
I just hope this concept lasts the distance as it could just be a real winner.

We at Lussorian love this beautiful bookshelf. Maybe even more than the Bookworm bookends we looked at here.
If you’re putting the finishing touches to a luxury residence, an object like this would make an excellent addition.
