New favourite brand to the home interiors market is the cool Scandi-monochrome-minimally styled Go Aesthetic with their small well curated range of tableware, soft furnishings and home accessories.

‘…UK based online store focusing on great contemporary design and style. We stock a whole selection of independent designers, including Fine Little Day, Ester & Erik, Buddy & Bear, Coco Lapine, and many more.’

Monochrome fans will be well provided for with the variety of black and white patterned and grey tone items. Every trend box is ticked with designs in marble, patterns of geometric, repeat print and the hand-painted look, plus gorgeous prints of the natural world and storage solutions for kids and adults. 

Definitely a new brand to keep an eye on and they already have a great little sale section to grab some of their great homewares at reduced prices!

The power and impact of large scale art in a room is great. Make a statement or bring a strong colour or theme to a room with a huge print. It’s generally a fairly expensive thing to aquire but US online store, Sycamore Street Press, amongst the range of other fab paper goods and homeware, have the super idea of offering downloadable digital PDFs of brilliant photographic prints that can be printed yourself at your local printers to whatever size (up to 48” x 36” – which is huge) 

We absolutely love this way of bringing the outdoors in, with their print range of cactus photographs. Fresh natural images taken from the cactus garden in Huntingdon, Pasedena (California) which create a airy feel and evoke the feeling of the outdoors  – allowing the natural world inside and are almost window-like when hung. Either frame, stick or use hanging bars for these huge pieces of art. 

Brilliant art at only $9 per download from the Sycamore Street Press.

Discovering TipJunkie was a good moment. A collated selection of DIY projects all designed with the typography fan in mind. 

From creating giant initials to hang on the wall to decoupage with book pages to word art, this feature has 16 projects to have a go at. 

Our favourite DIY is the printed letters or numbers on a cork board, as featured in last Friday’s trend post. Either freehand or with stencils, with emulsion paint and a brush or sponge, you can get creative with words, letters and numbers on a simple plain cork board (see bottom right in the picture). A good spray varnish finish will help to ensure your work lasts and won’t chip with the daily use. 

Home accessories and styling created with typography designs are the perfect way to personalise your home, whether it be the initials of the family hung on the wall, or the pages of your favourite book pasted onto the wall, a quote you love on a giant canvas, or even stencilled letters spelling out ‘welcome’ on a wooden hallway floor as you enter the house.
