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.

Kids rooms

Kids rooms can be expensive and hard to keep current with the little ones growing up so quickly! These kids rooms designed by my lovely sister use cute accessories at low cost to provide a bright and inviting setting! Bunting can be easily changed and you can get templates to make your own at spotlight! Kids feel special if you feature their name (it also helps with the all important spelling for those learning to write) and these little patch work letters look fantastic! Paper decorations are a perfect way to add a cheap accent to a room that can be changed and changed and changed again!

Watercolour

Wall paper is back baby! Watercolour is a stylish way to get wallpaper going in your house and it's like a mural on your wall. Bright colours are the go and you can get some amazing stuff from Scandinavian Wallpaper and Decor . They even have magnetic wallpaper! Im also a fan of watercolour cushions. In an all white classic setting these can make your living room look like a gallery with the cushions as the works of art. Check out these cushions by SuzieMcAdam

Lemon Yellow

Lemon yellow is popular right now and it's a very happy shade that suits multiple styles. It is an uplifting tone but needs some neutral to balance it out as it can be busy. I love the beautiful linen cushions available in this shade. I found this one from Alethias for $47.

Whimsy

Very pretty and shabby chic is the new whimsy trend hitting our stores. I have always been a fan of pastels and they will take centre stage with this trend. Think soft florals, gorgeous crystal chandeliers and cute decorate ornaments all on a backdrop of soft white. There are so many lovely wall papers to suit this trend and help you create a beautiful haven in your home. Along with this trend is a focus on birds and wood with lots of tree inspired decor. I love this cute little bird cade from Dani's Cottage for just $13 and this beautiful and whimsical chandelier from To Your Door for $69. I also adore this cute cushion from BonnieBruno for around $37
