We spend a lot of time looking through websites and searching for new items to share, and today we feature a little gem from made.com. This marble pendant light is super cute and perfect for a kitchen or dining room.

The simple design looks great and comes in a choice of three colours. It would also work as a cluster rather than individual pendants.

We love it!

It’s beautiful, simple, elegant and modern even though its influences are historic and set within art from past decades – this line art trend is easy to bring into a home and it’s great to seek out unique pieces that introduce this trend into a room.

Picasso inspired simple and spiralling line drawing to create figures, forms and illustrations but many artists have evoked this style.

We looked across the high street and designer stores to see what current products embrace this trend.

With every animal print you can imagine being worked into fashion design, across the high street, it was inevitable that it would also feature strongly in homeware design too.

We headed Zara Home and discovered the brand who has sell out animal pieces in their clothing collections, also has some key pieces in homeware using patterns inspired by zebras, leopards and snakes.

The bathroom, bedroom and lounge are all catered for.

home: trend [ fringed ]

This season, if it’s not fringed it’s not worth taking about. We are seeing it everywhere and all secretly love it.

This trend crosses over from playful to sophisticated very easily. Fringed cushions and wall hangings bring a statement to any room and can be playful with colour and texture. You also have chandeliers and table lamps oozing style with touches of gold and brass.

A couple of stores embracing the fringe effect is anthropologie.com and rockettstgeorge.co.uk. Full of gorgeous lighting, soft furnishings and baskets.

The key with fringing is to not over do it. Whether Scandi, Mid century or if you love Art Deco choose one stand out piece to anchor the room. If your style is more bohemian, nomadic then go full on fringing and tassels on cushions and throws.
