Twentysevenpalms cushions

Posted on | Leave a comment

27palms
If you like your cushions on the kitsch and colourful side of things, check out the range from Twentysevenpalms cushions.

The cushions are made from fabric sourced from around the world and certainly won't blend quietly into your sofa. The 'glamour girls' collection features, for example, tropical pin-up girls or saucy '50s-style cowgirls. Their punk/tattoo collection is also worth a look if you're after something a little unusual. 

A 45cm square cushion cover will set you back just £12. 

You can find them at London's Portobello or Sunday Up-Market, or you can buy them online.

Flying Ducks Rug

Posted on | Leave a comment

The website selling the rug inaccurately describes it as being inspired by the Duckworths on Coronation Street, but as all retro interiors fans know, it was in fact Hilda Ogden who famously had these on her wall.

But, putting that aside, the Flying Ducks Rug provides a nice twist on the idea of duck flying across your wall, as here they will fly across your floor. The rug is available in two sizes; small (120cm x 170cm) priced £149.99 or medium (150cm x 230cm) for £239.99, and in a choice of beige or the odder options of sage or lilac.

Antique Style Wooden Hat Stand

Posted on | Leave a comment

Antique-style-wooden-hat-stand-5235-p 
I suspect that most of our readers are more casual in their attire, but if you are the sort of city gent who still wears a bowler hat then you may want to buy this Antique Style Wooden Hat Stand.

The wooden stand will keep your hat in perfect condition and display it in its full glory, when you aren’t wearing it. It would probably work just as well for ladies' hats, either wide brimmed summer hats or sophisticated cloches.

It costs a reasonable £22, so you could buy a few if you are a real hat lover. Buy it online at Rockett St George

1970s Apple Tree Moneybox

Posted on | Leave a comment

Green-apple-tree-moneybox 
Having previously featured the owl and elephant designs, it seems only right that we also mention the Apple Tree Moneybox, another reproduction of a 1970s Danish design.

The tree looks like a typical piece of Scandinavian folk art design and has a hole in the back so you can hang it on the wall should you wish. There are two options available, either a green tree with red apples or a red tree with yellow apples.

The moneybox costs £8.95 from Hus and Hem.

Umbra Fishcondo – modernist house-shaped fish bowl discounted once more at Achica

Fishcondo

Regular readers will remember that we featured the Umbra Fishcondo when it was discounted at Achica just after Christmas. Well, Achica has just started another Umbra sale for the next day or so – and the Fishcondo is discounted once more.

As we mentioned back then, this is a modernist-style house for your fish, designed by Teddy Luong and with the option to add other floors by simply buying an extra one. The inner glass bowl is removable for cleaning, with the outer shell made of durable ABS plastic.

Achica has it discounted until the end of tomorrow, down from £49 to £25. Note that you’ll have to sign up to view (and buy from) Achica, but that’s free and very quick if you’ve not done it before. Fish, of course, are extra.
