 Stylish butterfly hooks There are lots of very nice hooks on the market at the moment, but some of the butterfly themed ones can be a bit too girly, pink or pastelly.
These ones get over that problem very effectively, as they’re an all over black design. The butterflies have been intricately cut, so you see all the detail on their wings, and the noir works beautifully against a white or cream wall.
Use them as stylish coat hooks, in a bedroom or even in the kitchen, to hang tea towels from.
The set of three black butterfly hooks are available from Urban Outfitters, for £9.

You could store at least eight hats on it, plus have room to hang scarves on the rack too.

 - House shaped hooks
There’s no excuse anymore for having boring hooks or nothing to hang things from!
Take this row of hooks, for example, which are decorated with five black houses. The houses look European in style and have fantastic architectural detail added to the buildings, as well as a little white scooter in the road below.
It would be perfect for hanging coats, keys or tea towels on and the houses stand out well when hung against a plain wall.
Amazingly, this decorative and functional piece home accessory is only £5.99 from Beautiful Things - a bargain for a very unsual row of hooks!

As far as decorative features go, this is pretty ironic.
A lot of people go to immense trouble trying to cover up all the pipe work in their homes, so it’s not on show, then along comes Nick Fraser and designs a hall stand that’s made to look like exposed pipe work!
The pipe work hall stand is made from powder coated copper pipe and features brass compression fittings which can be used to hang your coat or jacket on.
It’s finished off with a steel bucket at the bottom, which you can use as an umbrella stand.
If you’d like to add a touch of irony into your home, love exposed pipe work and creative designs, and perhaps need somewhere to hang your coat, then the Pipe Work hall stand by Nick Fraser can be purchased via Bouf.

 Pewter bird hooks
This sweet little bird hook is made from lead free pewter and the bird design is very on trend.
Although it’s sold as a kitchen accessory and would make a great place to hang (or perch) your tea towel, it would work equally well in any other part of your home too. For example, you could hang necklaces on it in your bedroom, or towels in your bathroom, or just use it as a decorative hook for the back of a door.
The bird hook is available from Colloco as a screw fix mount or with a magnet - just choose your preference as you order. It’s currently on sale and is down to £9.95.

 Colin O'Dowd beat coat rack
How about this for a novel idea for a coat rack?
In a similar vein to the creative storyline shelf that we featured last week, the design of the beat coat rack is based on the pattern shape that a beat of music makes.
Created by designer Colin O’Dowd, and made from 8mm steel wire coated in powder, the coat rack is available in four colour finishes - black, white, red and green.
If you want to liven up the look of your wall and want to hang your coats in style, then you can purchase the beat coat rack from Urbansuite for £40.

 Hot ring circular radiator
The world of radiators has improved considerably over the years and there are now so many different and inventive options to choose from. We were pleased to find this fab hot ring circular radiator which offers a new take on heating and a great design style.
It would be ideal used in a bathroom or kitchen, as it can double up as a bath towel warmer or tea towel drier, plus it looks jolly funky too.
The hot ring circular radiator is available in several different finishes, including white, silver and stainless steel, and in three different sizes (500mm, 700mm and 900mm).
The smallest ring (500m) starts at £540 and can be purchased from LivingHouse.

Forget plain and boring standard door knobs - if you’d like something a little bit different, there are plenty of options available.
 Pumpkin glass door knobs
We love these Pumpkin glass door knobs from Graham and Green. The sweet little flower shaped door knobs are available in a lovely sapphire blue, jade green and clear crystal glass.
Just one or two of these handles added to a piece of furniture could change the look completely. And, at only £4.50 each, they offer a cheap way of livening things up.
 Large glass door knob
To make a statement on a door, then these larger cut glass door knobs are also rather nice.
They’re available in blue, green, pink, smoke and crystal and would provide the perfect accent for an otherwise boring door. These are £18.95 each, also from Graham and Green, and won’t break the bank either.
 Bohemian black glass door knob
For a classic monotone look, then this round bohemian glass handle door knob would do the trick.
It’s smooth and polished, set on nickel and is sold in pairs, so you can get a matching effect on both sides of the door.
This handle costs £75 from Willow and Stone.
