In a country famous for its moules, frites, beer and chocolate, you might not think that\u2019s at all surprising. But the phrase has nothing to do with these culinary delicacies and everything to do with what, to Belgians, is the most important thing in life: their homes.<\/p>\n<p>Around 80 per cent of Belgians own their properties (more than many of their European neighbours \u2013 the UK included) and the culture is very much aimed at entertaining at home rather than going out. As such, they spend a lot of time and money on their decor, meaning there are some fabulous shops to discover.<\/p>\n<p>Brussels, the country\u2019s capital, is a case in point, with two whole streets devoted almost exclusively to interiors shops packed with <a href=\"\/\/www.homesandantiques.com\/antiques\/what-is-vintage\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">vintage<\/a> and <a href=\"\/\/www.homesandantiques.com\/antiques\/what-is-an-antique\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">antique<\/a> pieces \u2013 not to mention a weekly antiques market and some exciting, unique shops so good they justify a trip across the Channel all on their own.
