Sanderson 1950s-style Dandelions design now available as a rug

Posted on | Leave a comment

Sanderson dandelion rug

Sanderson's Dandelion design has proved to be amazingly popular. Their 1950s take on florals has itself been much imitated: in fact we mentioned it just last week in relation to the Next Alpine Meadow range.

Fans of the design will be pleased to hear that they are now producing it on a rug, a classy tufted wool number in the blue/green colour combination. 

The price? Well, you know it's not going to be bargain basement. It's available for £595 but will hopefully keep on looking stylish for years to come.

Hedgerow Lewin

New to St Jude's gallery is this Hedgerow fabric designed by Angie Lewin. We've featured a umber of St Jude's fabrics before such as Alice Stevenson's Treehouse design or their Kensal Rise collaboration with Old Town. Like those two designs, Hedgerow has a very British retro aesthetic, using a 1950s-style depiction of natural forms.

Kiely-Rhododendron

We're obviously huge fans of Orla Kiely on this site and here's another wonderful new design: the multi rhododendron print bed linen. The bold retro floral pattern only arrived into stock yesterday and its colours would look great in a mid-century inspired bedroom, as shown in the image. 

The bedlinen is made from 100% cotton percale. Prices range from £49 for a single duvet cover up to £79 for a super king size double. Pillowcases begin at £23.50. If this isn't to your taste, check out the Orla Kiely website to view one of the other designs, including the Car Park print (pictured over the page).

Zandra Rhodes homeware range for M&S

Posted on | 1 Comment

Zandra

Zandra Rhodes remains one of Britain's most recognisable figures, as well known for her appearance as for her colourful textile designs. Her homeware range for M&S is a slight surprise in that its black and white colour scheme makes it looks quite restrained. However, the design reflects Zandra's ongoing interest in all things organic and the lively floral design looks a lot wilder (and also more interesting) than many other naturally inspired homeware designs on offer on the high street.  

The range costs from £6, with this teapot costing £25.

Art Nouveau-influenced ‘Tulip Tulip’ lampshade

Posted on | Leave a comment

Tulipsilkdrumlampshade4

Art Nouveau lighting may make you think of Tiffany lamps but this Tulip Tulip lampshade draws subtly on the floral designs produced in that period. The tulip wraparound design is hand-printed onto the silk shade. 

It's made by Yukari Sweeney, who (as excitement grows about the store hitting the shores of the British Isles) used to design for Anthropologie. The shade offers an attractive alternative to the Cath Kidston florals that currently are everywhere. One draw back is the price: it sells for £83.
