It's A Stag Thing

The stag has been the animal du jour for some time now, appearing in various forms within interior design circles.  From ceramic heads perched on walls to hooks and candle holders, this strong creature adds a powerful and quirky presence to any room.

I have just completed the Butterfly Lane autumn/winter buy and I am pleased to tell you that stags are going nowhere fast, they were still found in abundance.  I bought some great tea light holders and dare I mention the 'C' word in June, but, I also bought some stunning Christmas decorations, that I know you will just love.  


Thornback and Peel do stag prints so well, and here are some of Butterfly Lane's favourites from the collection.

Here at Butterfly Lane we are not trend driven, we like classic and timeless interiors, however, small elements of trends can keep your home looking fresh and will add that all so important design edge.  I love to add in quirky accessories that really make a house a home, and create individuality to a space, and I really think a little stag 'something' will do just the trick.  With this in mind I have just bought these fabulous bookends that will look great in my study...

Fashion Week: Animal Instinct

Fashion Week has hit our capital and it is great to see London alive with creativity and beautiful things for AW12.   I know, I know, you’ll be happy to see the back of this Winter and focus on some al fresco, sun drenched dining…but surely it’s great to have a sneak peak in to the trends for next Winter!  This morning Mulberry took centre stage with a spectacular show, with amazing winter-tastic clothing, and I wouldn’t say no to the new ‘Del Rey’ bag either, any colour, I don’t mind!  The collection was really textural with hand knits and different types of fur, but unfortunately we’ll have to wait until July to get our hands on the collection, so why not infuse this in to your homeware now to be one step ahead of the fashion pack.  Although maybe try a slightly lighter colour palette for the Spring.

With Mulberry taking inspiration from the film ‘Where the Wild Things Are’, a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures, here are my top picks of well er, not so ferocious creatures to stylise your home with.  Animals are a big trend in homeware at the moment, and worry not this doesn’t mean using real fur or hanging a real stag head from the wall!  Here at Butterfly Lane we are not so cruel! Simply add a cool stag print tea towel in your kitchen, these from  Thornback & Peel are particularly cool, or why not use this bull toilet roll holder from Graham and Green, or my particular favourite is this amazing stag hook from Parlane which has already got pride of place in my downstairs loo!

Some of these animal inspired beauties will be available to buy at Butterfly Lane soon, so watch this space. 

Have a great Fashion Week everyone!  X
