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