Ridgeway Road tiles featuring vintage classical concert programmes

Tiles1

Here are some unusual tiles with a slightly different look to some of the products we feature on this site. The Ridgeway Road tiles are printed with the covers of vintage classical music concert programmes. 

Made by All Kinds of New and originally sold as part of The Art Group's 'Let's Play' exhibition, there are 12 designs that encompass a wide range of both composers and typographical styles. Hopefully something for every taste then. 

The tiles cost £20 each.

Rock n Roll Badge cushion

Rock n Roll Badge cushion

What can an ageing music fan do with all the fan badges they've amassed over the years? Why, use them on a Rock n Roll badge cushion of course! This cushion from Pedlars is partially covered with such badges, looks pretty good and saves the badges from gathering dust in a drawer elsewhere. However, seeing as you don't get any choice in the band badges that you're given, perhaps it will save disputes (and some money as well) if you just do it yourself. 

If you'd prefer to go for the ready-made option, this large cushion is available in black, red or white and costs £68.95.

C60 cassette wallpaper from Mini Moderns

C60 wallpaper

Two favourite things meet in this wallpaper: a love of the humble cassette and a love of Mini Moderns' designs. Mini Modern's latest design for kids (or grown-ups who haven't quite grown up) is the C60 wallpaper. The pattern repeats a variety of different tapes, bringing back fond memories of carefully creating and listening to mix tapes with names such as 'summer hits' or 'party mix'.

The image shown is in the chalkboard and gold option but, if you are extra keen to encourage your kids to pay homage to this lost technology, it also comes in the customisable 'colour me' option. Both versions cost £38 per roll.

Gibson plectrum door knobs

Gibsonknob_300

Gibson produce some of the most recognisable guitars in the world, and also have a logo to match. If you fancy adding a rock ‘n’ roll touch to the rooms in your house, how about these Gibson guitar door knobs?

They are handmade by Karoline Mileham using plectrums and, for the finishing touch, she also makes matching wall switches. It’s a simple and effective idea and the £7.99 price tag, though a significant mark-up on the cost of the individual plectrums, is still nowhere near the cost of one of their guitars.
