Listen up, IKEA. We need to talk. Things just aren't working out. It's not you. It's not me. It's... Gaultier.

Or, more precisely, Jean Paul Gaultier's upcoming new home furnishings line for Roche Bobois, set to debut in the coming months, WWD reports.

While details are scarce at this time, the French designer is giving us a glimpse of his interior skills with the Elle Decoration Suite, his makeover of the former Parisian apartment of '30s-era architect Jacques Carlu, according to a press release.

Open to the public from May 8 until October 2011, the Roche Bobois-sponsored suite features nautical and natural details, such as navy striped walls and garden prints.

"Clothes are my vocation, and as I only know how to dress, I dressed this Elle Decoration Suite... with various notes that already reside in my collections," Gaultier says in the release, citing green, marine, reflective and satin influences.

We suspect the designer -- who's been keeping busy with collaborations with Target, Melissa and Pataugas -- will follow a similar route with his home furnishings line.

But until we know for sure, we'll just have to book a flight to Paris to check out his apartment candy!
