The Story of Ari & Alki

Ari & Alki began with two little girls — Ariadne and Alkioni, born in Dubai — and a mother who has always loved gardening, beautiful interiors, and the simple pleasure of creating a home that feels warm and personal.

Their mother has always believed that a home should be more than a place to live. She wanted it to feel like a sanctuary, where nature connects with the art of living; a place filled with character, greenery, texture and objects that tell a story.

Living in Dubai, surrounded by striking skyscrapers, modern architecture and the fast rhythm of city life, inspired her to create something different inside the home. She wanted home to feel like a little escape.

A place that carries the relaxed feeling of a countryside holiday. A home with weathered woods, botanical details, aged finishes, beautiful ceramics, garden-inspired pieces and objects that feel as though they have been collected slowly over time.

She was especially drawn to the warmth of rustic farmhouse interiors, French country homes, European gardens and timeless heritage pieces — spaces that feel elegant without being formal and beautiful without feeling perfect.

This love of home, garden and slower living eventually became Ari & Alki Rustic Home & Garden, named after her daughters.

Inspired by Home, Nature & the Art of Living

At Ari & Alki, we believe the most beautiful homes are not simply decorated — they are lived in.

They are filled with flowers gathered from the garden, herbs growing by the kitchen window, candles glowing over dinner, treasured objects displayed on a console and pieces that become more beautiful as they become part of everyday life.

Our collections are chosen to help bring that feeling into your own home.

Bringing the Feeling of a Holiday Home Into Everyday Life

For us, luxury is not only about polished interiors or expensive objects.

It is opening the door and feeling immediately at ease. It is fresh flowers on the table. Morning light falling across an old-style vase. A quiet corner surrounded by plants. Dinner enjoyed slowly with family. And a garden that feels a little wild and a home filled with things you genuinely love.

Ari & Alki was created around the idea that your everyday home can carry the feeling of somewhere you would love to escape to. Even in the middle of a busy city.

Our hope is to help you create spaces that feel warmer, calmer and more connected to nature — homes with personality rather than perfection.

And perhaps, when you walk through your own front door, it will feel just a little like coming home to a holiday.

Ari & Alki Rustic Home & Garden
Timeless pieces for a home connected to nature, beauty and the art of living.

Accessories decide whether a room feels finished. The sofa and the paint do the heavy lifting, but it is the candle holder, the frame on the shelf and the runner on the table that make it yours.

Small pieces, chosen one by one

Our home accents collection covers the finishing layer: table runners, decorative bowls and figurines, lamps, kitchen pieces with some age in their design. The candle holders and lanterns carry the evenings. Frames and wall decor carry the memories, with vintage mirrors joining the collection.

Why small quantities matter

We stock a few units of each piece rather than a warehouse of one design. It keeps the shop personal. It also means the piece on your shelf is unlikely to be on your neighbour's.
