Tulip
Here we have yet another fabulous reproduction fabric from Tonic Living, this time influenced by mid century Scandinavian design.

Available in both 'dawn' and 'dusk' variations, this Tulip fabric is part of a Tonic Living's new 60s inspired range, Outside Oslo, from textiles designer Jessica Jones. The medium weight canvas is printed with either brightly coloured retro tulips on white, or more muted tones on brown. Ideal for upholstery or, as with all their fabrics, you can use the custom sewing service they offer if you're less craftily inclined.

$16 per yard (or $1 for a sample) from Tonic Living. Other designs from Jessica Jones, Frond & Picket, are also on the site. See the website for more details.

The Geometry Sideboard by Burgundy Applegate is part of a range of products in the Heal’s Discovers range. It is inspired by both Danish design and Art Nouveau.

It has a solid walnut frame and a lacquered top. It is available with either the patterned front shown here or in plain grey, costing £795 and £695 respectively. It is smaller than most sideboards, so is ideal for rooms tight on space. A side table and coffee table in a similar design are also available should you wish to kit out your whole room in the same way.

They are available to order from Heal’s, although won’t be available for delivery for  approximately another 3 months.

Keep Calm And Come In Doormat

Calm

Over five years since we first featured it (and yes, we were the first with it), that poster just keeps on appearing in different guises – the latest being this Keep Calm And Come In Doormat.

Yes, another variation of the Keep Calm and Carry On craze, which we thought had run out of steam by now. But we do actually like this particular design, which uses the original red and white on a mat sized at 43 x 73cm.

£23.50 is the price.
