home: made [ gold projects ]  

With gold being one of this season’s on-trend colours, how about four easy, home projects to bring a little of this uplifting colour into your home. 

Dulux have come up with these great, simple DIYs. Produce either a gold enhanced table, tray, plant pot or frame! 

Plus if you’re feeling extra creative the table and tray ideas can be taken even further – design more elaborate patterns (go geometric or stripy) or add in an additional complimentary colour like lemon, copper or grey. 
  

home: nice price [ pineapple ] 

home: nice price [ pineapple candle ] 

Design is loving pineapples right now. They feature in pattern, fabric, accessories, even jewellery. 

We love this H&M gold (on trend!) pineapple that contains a candle. So once you burn the candle, you have a great little storage pot for trinkets. 

Only £9.99 

Have a look round the rest of the H&M Tropical Appeal trend collection to see their other pineapple pieces as well as homewares featuring palm trees, monkeys and bananas! 

For more pineapple appreciation head to interiors and homeware brand SS Thomas who have pineapple candle sticks, fruit bowls, tumblers and glasses!
