We spotted these quirky lampshades on oliverbonas.com and think they are pretty cool. The retro vibe pattern will make a happy and bright addition to any home.

The lamps come in three different hand drawn designs and are a great size to sit as bedside lamps or on a little corner table in a living room.

There is also a large floor lamp available if you fancy going a bit bolder.

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.
