Posted on | Leave a comment

Metalbox

I’m always looking for storage solutions to keep my house in order and these Vintage Pattern Metal Storage Boxes look as if they could be quite useful.

They are available in three different sizes, all with decorated with vintage style floral lid and fan patterns on the sides. Pictured here is the middle size, measuring 30.5cm long x 20.5cm wide x 17cm high and priced £18.50. There is a smaller size (17cm x 13.5cm x 15cm) for £12 available in either cerise or purple that is an ideal size for storing tea, coffee or biscuits. The larger size would be good for office storage and costs £22.

Hommu Vintage Phone Wall Sticker

Posted on | Leave a comment

Vintage_phone

We’ve seen plenty of wall decals recently, but used in the right way, the Hommu Vintage Phone Wall Sticker is amongst the cleverest.

The black sticker is in the shape of a classic Bakelite 200 series telephone, and positioned next to a real telephone as shown in the photo here, can add a touch of humour to your home (but hopefully won’t prove to be too confusing!)

It costs 22 Euros and is available to buy directly from Hommu.

Jo Jo Duck Hooks

Swimmingducks

The Jo Jo Duck Hooks by designer-maker Haidée Drew are an amusing twist on the usual flying ducks.

Rather than flying across the wall in the traditional way, these ducks are mounted on the wall to give the impression that they are swimming down the wall instead. Rather than being merely an ironic decoration (which may be enough in itself), they have a function too as they can be used to hang up jewellery, keys or tea towels.

The Jo Jo Duck Hooks cost £20 from Swanky Maison

Turquoise collection

This print from MadebyAnna is exactly what it claims to be: it's a collection of mid-century homewares, depicted in turquoise.

It's the work of Anna Betts, an illustration student and this is a digital print of an original collage. There's a sewing machine, scales, typewriter and other covetable goods, topped off by the retro type and – of course – the turquoise colouring. 

The print is A2 size and available for £30.

Following on from the success of their 1950s Honesty rug design, this one looks to the Pop style of the next decade for inspiration, with the repeated pattern of the filled zeros and figure eights. The neutral colours keep this tufted wool number a design that could work in a number of interiors. 

Prices are £250 for a 170 x 128cm rug or £475 for 240 x 170cm.

Maakupwallpaper

The Make-Up Wallpaper by Jordi Labanda features retro-inspired stylised fashion illustrations of glamorous women with 60s style make-up.

It is available in a choice of five colour options: red, aqua, silver, chartreuse or violet, each featuring a mixture of these stylish ladies. As is often the case with these wallpaper designs, you need to use it cleverly and sparingly, but in the right setting it would make quite an impact.

The wallpaper costs £46 per roll from Tangle Tree Interiors, where you can also buy samples for £1 before committing to a full roll.
