 Orla Kiely oven glove We love Orla Kiely’s designs and here’s a favourite pattern on a kitchen accessory that’s super practical.
This double oven glove is essential for all your cooking and baking needs, as it will ensure your hands are fully protected when carrying hot dishes from the oven.
The oven gloves are adorned in Orla Kiely’s red and white Abacus flower design and they’re made from 100% cotton.
Not only is it a nicely designed item, but it’s also a bit of a bargain. The Abacus double red oven glove is currently reduced in the sale at Graham and Green, making it a must-have bargain buy!

 Map design shower curtain Plan your future travels, or study a map of the world as you shower, with this map themed shower curtain.
The colourful shower curtain is printed with a map of the world, so there’s something to look at as you get up and ready in the morning.
It’s a nice alternative to a plain shower curtain and could bring some colour into a bathroom.
The Mappa curtain was designed by the Future Mapping Company for Habitat and costs £22.

 Coconut Grove towels If you prefer your towels relatively plain, with just a bit of decoration, then these white and cobalt blue Coconut Grove towels could fit the bill.
There’s something about white and blue which creates a fresh, crisp feel and there’s just the right amount of design on these. The towels are by Designers Guild, featuring delicate embroidered leaves.
There’s everything from a face cloth and bath towel, to a nice big bath sheet available in this design.
The Coconut Grove towels are available from Designers Guild, or from other retailers such as Amara.

The style of this lux lighting striped cube light reminds us of the cassette tape light we featured before.
Designed in the form of a cube, the striped cube transforms when the light is turned on, producing a funky colourful effect.
The lux light has been created by Alle Design, who specialise in contemporary furniture and lighting, and you can buy it from Bouf.

If it’s funky or quirky furniture you’re after, then Barnickle Furniture are a good source of some rather unusual items.
All of their products are made from recycled and reclaimed furniture, which are hand painted to create some very unusual and eye-catching designs.
We really like the look of the iconic telephone box, which is a metal cabinet with drawers, and the red London bus, with its 2012 theme, which is also a cabinet made of metal. Both of these items have useful storage space hidden with them, plus extra room on top, so are functional as well as decorative.
Other fun designs by Barnickle Furniture include a wooden pirate cabinet and a cotton reel table.
