The great outdoors

There's another post I liked from madaboutthehouse.com - all about outdoor rugs.  I love the idea of creating your own sitting room outside.  Take a look at cuckooland.com for see some of their really reasonable range which are all £49.95.  But while I was there, I was also taken by their hammock and hanging chair range - always quite difficult to find I think, but there are some surprisingly great options here. Below are my favourites...

Bali Outdoor rug - £49.95

Salsa marine hammock - £36.95

Double hanging Cacoon - £325

Globo hanging chair & stand - £665

Glorious homeware from Ugg

According to this The Relaxed Home blog post  Ugg Australia have launched a brand new homewares range.  And it looks gorgeous.  Only thing is that I can't yet find out where to buy them as they don't seem to be appearing on their site yet.  A case of watch this space I think.

PS. Love that pouf though.

Gorgeous rugs from Paul Smith

Paul Smith has created 3 new designs for The Rug Company, to add to his collection. According to their blog 'the Cubes, Umbra and Peaks rugs reveal Smith's interest in abstract art and architecture, as well as his skill with muted colours in bold graphic prints and cubic forms.'  I just think they look mighty fine.  Take a look for yourself.

Hand woven rugs and blankets with Scandi style

These beautiful rugs and blankets from Brita Sweden brings craft right up to date.  With their fresh colours and modern geometric designs they blend tradition with irresistible Scandi modernism.  It is also truly a family business: named after the founders’ great grandmother, every piece has the name of another woman in the family.  Available to buy from royaldesign.co.uk

Glorious rugs

I've come across this range of rugs from Urban Outfitters online - I think they are fantastic fun and extremely reasonable ranging from £35-£65.  It's not easy to find good rugs that don't cost the earth.
