A vehicle illumination apparatus (12) includes a light source (14) and a lens (16). The lens (16) includes a light guide (30) disposed opposite to the light source (14) and extending toward a vehicle interior, and a body (32) connected to an end of the light guide (30) adjacent to the vehicle interior. The lens (16) is configured to cause light from the light source (14) to be reflected on a side face (50) of the light guide (30) and travel toward the vehicle interior, and at least part of the light is further reflected on a reflection face (61) of the body (32) and directed in an extending direction of the body (32), thereby allowing at least part of the body (32) to function as a decorating illumination portion. The side face (50) of the light guide (30) that reflects light, or a light reflection face, and a further side face (51, 52) of the light guide (30) adjacent to the light reflection face form a rounded corner (70, 71).
