Picture frame desk

I liked these space saving ideas on www.apartmenttherapy.com particularly this picture frame desk below. How ingenious is that?! Will put you back a bit price-wise though...

Balloon lights

Following on from the beachball lights post how about these beauties from John Moncrieff on notonthehighstreet.com? These balloon lights are available in eight glossy colours: red, green, orange, blue, turquoise, grey, yellow and opal and they come in small, medium or large. What's more there's a wall mounted version too. They are a little pricey though, starting at £140 for the small wall-mounted version, but bite the bullet and they are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. 

Magnetic wallpaper

Oh I love a bit of wallpaper and this magnetic range available at Sisters Guild is great looking and multifunctional too. Another fabulous find from www.madaboutthehouse.com. This would be a wonderful option for a child's bedroom and you can choose from owl, giraffe, rabbit, zebra, cockatiel and bear (wise old owl is my favourite).  These clever people also do a magnetic chalkboard version. Starts from £41.50 per roll.

Vintage lettering

I'm not quite sure where I stand on letters.  I think names and random words spelt are a bit of an easy option and fairly over done.  And then I see some gorgeous vintage lettering and I waver slightly - could be quite fun for a teenager room?  But on balance it's not for me. But if this is your thing here's the best range I've come across at The Vintage Wall.  Prices seem to start from £5 but they do vary per letter.  They do numbers too.
