 Stylish Ciro bowl design These Ciro bowls by LSA International are handmade in Poland and each feature two oval holes as part of the design, making them distinctive and stylish.
The Ciro serving or salad bowl, which is a really useful size to have, is currently reduced in the sale at DotMaison, and is now priced at £20.
The rest of the sale section is well worth a look too, especially if you’re after designer bedding, such as products by Orla Kiely, Conran or KAS.

If playful and creative are essential requirements in table design for you, then this clouds coffee table set by designer Mark Hark ticks all the boxes.
The unique coffee table set comes with three cloud design layers which you can put together to form a multi-dimensional cloudscape design. It’s fully functional as a table, but also makes a stunning feature in a room.
For those times when you need several small tables instead of one big one, the large cloud formation can be separated, so that you’ve got three individual tables to use.
The clouds coffee table set is available in white lacquered oak veneer, as well as walnut veneer (brown or black). The white tables are currently reduced from £339 down to £189 (including VAT) from Fashion 4 Home.

 Appliqued whale cushion We can’t resist this handmade whale cushion by Lettie Belle!
The organic, hand loomed cushion cover is decorated with a deep blue whale, made from felt and leather, which has been appliqued onto the front of the cushion.
Although it seems like a relatively simple design, we love the attention to detail, including the neat white outline stitching and the heart-like shape featured within the fin of the whale.
The whale cushion costs £25 and can be purchased from Lettie Belle’s store on Bouf.

 Bath cityscape tea towel A lot of the designers featuring cities and architectural landscapes in their work tend to focus on London, so it’s great to come across some city-inspired work that focuses on somewhere else – in this case, Bath.
Bristol-based Emmeline Simpson produces a range of products featuring designs inspired by cityscapes. This tea towel, for example, features a line drawing of the iconic view of the Royal Crescent in Bath – and having been there recently, it does so extremely well (although you probably wouldn’t see six hot air balloons passing by every day).
Made from 100% cotton and screen printed, the tea towel costs £8.95 from Emmeline’s shop on Not On The High Street.
As well as Bath cityscapes, you’ll also find homeware items in her store, such as mugs, coasters and prints, with images of Bristol and Oxford.

Various home decor products feature quotes, but it’s one of those things that’s best used in moderation – too many quotes all over the place can be overkill. But one of the ways in which quotes can be used successfully in home decoration is in creating a feature wall.
When the words ‘feature wall’ are mentioned, it can conjure up images of a wall that you’ve spent ages decorating to perfection. But when wall stickers are used, the hours spent labouring on getting it perfect are vastly reduced.
To get a quote on a wall no longer requires a super steady hand and good handwriting to painstakingly paint every letter on – ready made wall stickers do the wording job for you. All you have to do, is choose an appropriate wall space and apply the stickers.
