As you may have noticed, we're rather big fans of owls in their various design forms. The only thing that could possibly improve our wise old feathered friend is, yes, a banjo!

Hoo Hoo Owl Clock
Whilst we can’t claim the Hoo Hoo Owl Clock as a design classic (unlike George Nelson’s Omar Owl clock from his Zootimer range), it still has a certain charm.
It is named after the sound that apparently owls make in Sweden, where the clock is made. It is made from acrylic with a walnut finish so it won’t look out of place amongst your midcentury style furniture.
The clock costs £25 from HunkyDory Home.
Painted Owl Wallpaper from Anthropologie
Owl-inspred design ought to have become tired by now but there's something incredibly enduring about these birds and this Painted Owl Wallpaper from Anthroplogie is another gem.
The design alternates a diamond-pattern stripe with a repeat owl motif in both black and white and colour. The monochromatic background ensures that the coloured owls really pop; they have a kaleidoscopic quality in terms of both colour and pattern. The design is inspired by Russian Lubok printing; a popular folk art style.
The wallpaper costs £78 a roll which will cover 5m² and comes with SureStrip backing which means no messing around with wallpaper paste, simply wet the reverse and hang.

Vintage-style Otto Owl money box by Emma Silk
Pennies make pounds and pounds make quite a nice little stash of cash, especially if you stash yours in this Otto Owl money box by Emma Silk.
It's a very cool vintage-style box, perfect both as an ornament and as a place to save up all that loose change. When it's full, no need to smash it either – there's a stopper on the bottom.
Made of bone china, it sells for £16.
Stuart Kolakovic owl rug
It was only last week we showed you the Stuart Kolakovic prints available at Urban Outfitters. You can get more of his distinctive style for your home with his owl rug.
It's a charming design, hand-made, and captures his 70s aesthetic perfectly. At only 45cm square, it could easily be displayed on a wall as well as being used on the floor. However, if you like the rug, you'd better snap it up quickly – it's part of an edition of just five.
It costs a very reasonable £19.99
