Flying ducks are normally found in flocks of three, soaring across lounge or hallway walls, but with these Flying Duck Tile Wall Stickers, you can extend that look to your bathroom or kitchen.
These wall stickers have been specifically designed for use in bathrooms and kitchen on tiled surfaces or in shower cubicles. Each duck measures around 7cm with a pack of stickers containing 36 of them. They are available in a choice of 20 colours.
The stickers cost £20 per pack from Spin Collective.
The Foundations Storage Shelving System has been created by the industrial designer Benjamin Hubert for the Heal’s ReDiscovers range.
The handy storage system, which features contrasting coloured box files set against dark shelves, is inspired by Brutalist architecture. It is made from Valchromat, a wood fibre board (from forest waste and recycled pine) coloured with organic dyes and bonded with resin.
It costs £1,495 and is only available from Heal's.
John Lewis currently has a collection of products being promoted under the slogan “A Celebration of Britain”. As you would imagine, the union jack motif features heavily, along with Beefeaters, Marmite and red buses, as is the case with this Double-Decker Bus Doorstop.
The doorstop is shaped like a distinctively British bus, which looks more like the old-fashioned kind rather that what you see on the roads today. For those who are averse to public transport, there is also a London black cab version too.
The doorstops cost £25 and are available exclusively from John Lewis.
We’ve featured Olli and Lime’s nursery products here before (duvet covers, wallpaper and wall art) and I’ve always thought their designs are wasted just kept for children. So I’m pleased to see that they expanded to include two of their designs as Kitchen Collections.
George, a lime and milk chocolate flower-like design (pictured here) and Charlie, a darker brown and mustard circles pattern, are both available on a range of kitchen textiles. You can have your napkins (£25 for four) table runner (£35), tea towels (£15 for a pair) and apron (£25) all in matching fabric.
I’m hoping that more products will follow and I’d like to see their range extended to include grown-up sized bedding, but for now, you can buy their kitchen collection from the Olli and Lime website.
Barbara Couple specialises in vintage-inspired cushions and textiles. For the “Sorry Not in Service” Cushion, her inspiration has come from vintage destination blinds from buses.
The cushion is black linen/cotton mix with the words embroidered on the front in cream, to accurately recreate that most frustrating of bus signs. A tad pricey, the cushion costs £85 which includes a feather pad for UK customers, but doesn’t for overseas buyers.

Having been threatened with extinction, it seems the popularity of the Polaroid camera and its instant snaps is actually growing. These Polaroid Note Cards are the result of one project that paid tribute to the art of Polaroid photography.
Resulting from the “For the Love of Light” project, the set has been put together by the photographer Jenifer Altman and contains 20 cards, each with a different Polaroid image. The images include flowers, a chair, cupcakes, a New York taxi all with that unmistakable white frame around the image and in the slightly washed out looking colours that the Polaroid produces that reminds me of childhood photographs.
The set is available to buy from Urban Outfitters for £9.99.
