Five Star Gift Ideas

For your dad who loves interior design and home decor, I have a few meaningful and personal gift ideas that he will surely appreciate.

1. Books on Interior Design: Consider gifting him a collection of books on interior design. Books like "The Kinfolk Home," "Domino: The Book of Decorating," or "Elements of Style: Designing a Home & a Life" are not only informative but also visually pleasing. These books will inspire your dad with new ideas for his own space.

2. Home Decor Subscription Box: Subscription boxes are a great way to introduce new and unique home decor items to your dad. Look for a subscription box that curates items based on his personal style and preferences. This way, he can discover new pieces to enhance his home decor collection.

3. Interior Design Course: Since your dad has a keen interest in interior design, consider enrolling him in an online interior design course. This could be a fun and educational experience that allows him to further develop his skills and knowledge in his passion. This gift will not only provide him with new insights but also give him the opportunity to experiment with different design techniques.

4. High-Quality Home Decor Accessories: Does your dad have a favorite room in the house or a specific theme he enjoys? Look for high-quality home decor accessories that align with his taste. Whether it's unique artwork, decorative pillows, or a statement rug, these accessories will add personality and charm to his living space.

5. Personalized Sketch or Blueprint: Commissioning a personalized sketch or blueprint of your dad's favorite room or his dream design project can be a thoughtful and unique gift. Hire a professional designer or illustrator to create a custom piece that captures his love for interior design. This gift will serve as a beautiful keepsake and reminder of his passion.

6. Magazine Subscription: A subscription to a reputable interior design magazine can provide your dad with ongoing inspiration and ideas. Choose a magazine that focuses on his preferred design style, such as modern, traditional, or minimalist. It's a gift that keeps on giving throughout the year, with each issue offering new trends, tips, and resources.

7. Virtual Interior Design Consultation: If your dad has an upcoming home project, consider gifting him a virtual interior design consultation. Connect him with a professional interior designer who can offer guidance and expertise, making his design aspirations come to life. This gift will provide him with professional insights tailored specifically to his project.

Remember, the most important aspect of the gift is the thought behind it. By considering your dad's passion for interior design, you're showing him that you care and support his interests. Choose a gift that aligns with his preferences, and he'll appreciate the effort you put into finding something meaningful and personal.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
