home: found this [ octopus bowl ]

You may not have thought you need an octopus bowl but we think this might change your mind.

This beauty from homeware fave Audenza is an investment at £148 but what a statement it would make – especially if it had a chilled bottle of fizz in it, too.

It’s a clear glass bowl on an aluminium stand designed with an intricate moulding of an octopus. Clever, beautiful and a unique home accessory.

home: trend [ pouffe ]

It seems the home accessory of the season is the pouffe. Firmly back as a key piece of furniture in a lounge (or any other room) and with floral flouncy ones a distant memory of the 80s; the pouffe is now the perfect accessory to add a splash of colour or pop of pattern into a room.

There’s a plethora to choose from across the high street, designer and online stores and whatever trend you use as your styling guide, there’s a pouffe to suit the look.

We’ve picked a selection of our favourites to suit current trends including – colour pop, embellished, midcentury monochrome, maximalist, traveller and artisan.

home: made [ triangle shelf ]

home: made [ triangle ]

We like to find great little projects to share with you, and although this one looks a bit more higher skill level than our usual finds, they do insist it’s not hard – and what a super result you’d get.

This great wooden triangle shelf would make a fab feature on any room. The wood could be kept natural or painted up to match the room colours and even changed at a later date if the decor changes.

Adorn with herb pots in a kitchen, collated small curiosities in the lounge or cute little dolls and figures in a nursery. So versatile and a great little project to try out.

Head to MrKate for the tutorial.
