Want to guarantee that it's always party time? Maybe you should invest in this disco ball clock, available from Urban Outfitters.
The clock is made from glass, echoing the effect of a mirrored ball, with plain black hands allowing you to judge exactly what time you should go and hit the local disco.
Certainly not a home decor look for the faint hearted, the clock costs £35.

The retro table lamp by Present Time does exactly what it claims to do. In this case, the 'retro' is a 60s look with the ball head of the lamp giving it a Space Age look. Add to this a metallic stand and trim, contrasting to a bright red head, and it's a neat looking design for not very much outlay. Not such a fan of the red? The lamp is also available in a subtler black or a spacey silver.
It's also currently reduced in price. It was on sale for £50 but is now selling for £37.50.

The Full Moon Coffee Table Set is an interesting variation on the more common space-saving dining table sets.
The table here is lower offering a more informal space to eat and drink. When not in use, each stool fits tightly up against the table and as an added space-saving feature, there is a useful storage shelve beneath each seat. The set is designed by JJG Designs and is made to order in Germany, taking up to 6 weeks.
It is currently on offer at Bouf, reduced from £700 to £665, with shipping to most locations an extra £75.
This Vintage Car Wallpaper is another quirky wallpaper from Dutch designers Studio Ditto, whose Vintage Plates Wallpaper we mentioned a while back.
This wallpaper features various toy vehicles (cars, camper vans, trucks and tanks), but rather than shiny new toys, these are old ones that have clearly been played with and in the process, taken a bit of a battering.
The wallpaper costs £120 per roll from Catkin Collection.
Interior design company Turner Pocock has joined forces with artist Catherine Cazalet and together they have produced some fantastic wallpapers including this Cricket wallpaper from their English Sports series.
The design consists of a very simple drawing of a bat and ball, but arranged so as to create a pleasing geometric pattern. It is available in the natural colourway pictured here with a cream bat and a red ball or with white outlines on a teal background. Tribute is played to tennis in a similar style.
The wallpaper is available to buy from Turner Pocock Cazalet, priced £60 + VAT per roll.
The latest items to be added to the ever-expanding range of Fornasetti products, is a collection of Fornasetti Home Fragrances.
The collection includes scented candles in ceramic pots decorated with his instantly recognisable designs Bacio (mouth/kiss), L'Architettura (architecture), Civette (owls) and L'Ape (bee), priced £90 or larger scented candles with the Viso a strisce (stripy face) or Scimmie (monkeys) for £350. There are also oil diffusers, incense burners, room sprays and incense boxes, which are all perfumed with the same fragrance.
The scent used is “Otto”, the eighth variation, which uses Mediterranean herbs found around the Fornasetti family home, along with woods used in Formasetti’s furniture and interiors, and incense to recreate the dreamlike qualities of his designs. It is always tricky to know if you will like a fragrance based just on a description, but with these products, you are probably paying for the containers and packaging as much as the scent itself.
