Mint

Mint is a very subtle shade. As a teen this was my wall colour. It was so fresh it made me think of the ocean. It is both pretty and mature and can be used as cute hint of colour in an all white room and is easily paired with pastel hues of peach and pink. I prefer to play it safe with this shade as it doesn't always stand up to bold colours. Check out this styling by Sarah Ellison for Real Living Magazine 2011 for some inspiration. There are lots of accessories in this shade on the market from cute clocks like the ones from My Little Empire for $69.95 to the scatter cushions of Adairs in Vintage washed Linen $59.95 (these feel amazing!!!).

Neon animal print

I like a tasteful splash of animal print and there are some pretty impressive examples on the market. Great as an edgy accent with neutrals or as part of an eclectic mash up of wild patterns. Some of my favourite print pieces are Evie Kemps Big Cat cushions, available of Superette for $99. Check out Evie's website for lots of amazing goodies. Can't get enough of the off the wall neon animal prints!

Sly lamps

The good old fashioned desk lamp has received a remake of late and its now larger than life. I'm a big fan of comically over sized furniture and this lamp from Domayne for $150 is awesome as it comes in copper.

Science

Beakers and test tubes can make for some pretty funky vases. Graphic anatomical and botanic prints, such as those produced by Leonardo De Vinci fit with this trend too. I like this sketch of a heart for $11 from Etsy. I also love these little amber vases and this flask and bunsen burner style essential oil burner from Mr Sparrow. For cheap conical flasks check out these from School House Electric for $19 you can pop cut flowers in these in a little cluster of beakers of varying sizes. I would feature these items with a fuss free back drop of charcoal and white with modern wooden accents in a scandinavian style. Dark wooden floors. Replica hans wegner Wishbone chairs.

Planters that are too cute to miss

Just because its cute, check out this little cactus egg for $25 from Pigeonhole Also check out this funky Uashmama washable bag from The Corner Store for $28.95. With a little pot inside these make for adorable planters.

Bunnies

As its easter and all I suppose it's only fair that I devote a little attention to the bunny trend. I've seen some real cuties pop up around the place and they are pretty quirky. I like the topiary style rabbits that are featured at Adairs. These little guys are a pretty cool addition to a funky wedding setting and are just at home in a trendy mod living space. Also loving these little white rabbits which bring me back to my childhood with their alice in wonderland style. Available for $19.95 from The Corner Store with show rooms in both Fremantle and Claremont. Not forgetting the awesome Enchanted Forrest quilt covers available at Adairs featuring real life animal sketches dotted between mushrooms. Available for the kids and also for the adults for those of us that will never, really, grow up.
