Stylish workstations for kids

Some great and affordable ideas here from www.remodelista.com for kids work stations. As a space saving and tidiness freak, these appeal on many levels...  Check out the link for more ideas, but these ones are my favourites.

Embossed wallpaper - it's back!

If you've had your fill with the trompe l'oeil wallpaper trend, then here's the next big thing. Textured wallpaper. Yes, it's official, because the fabulously cool Rockett St George interiors site is stocking them.  Check out these beauties from Anaglypta - at only £21 per roll, the key here is to paint your embossed walls in beautiful bold shades of Farrow & Ball (navy is the new black don't you know?)

Him and her hat lights

These pendants are a bit of fun if you fancy lightening the mood.  The elegant feminine affair is designed by Mars Hwasung Yoo from Eno Studio and comes with a range of different colour flexes to choose from for maximum statement effect.

And this Jeeves Bowler Hat Pendant light from Rockett St George is great fun.  Designed by Jake Phipps Jeeves (honest) I love the felt finish with gold metal lining. There is also a Wooster version apparently (although at time of writing it was not showing up on the site).

Pick and mix lights

I love these gorgeous lights from rothschildbickers.com.  Called Pick and Mix they come in green, teal, grey, blue, orange and gold.  What's more you can choose your flex from a variety of wonderful colours.  I fancy the grey with neon pink flex.  Better save up then - they cost £295 each (although this does include postage and VAT).
