Under the Sea

After a few get togethers with some friends recently, Disney films and particularly The Little Mermaid kept coming up, and so too the "Under the Sea" song.  So with that and mind and a little bit of May sunshine I thought we'd look at a new space to decorate.  This initially was going to be a fun filled colourful room, but as I went browsing I ended up with a more sophisticated twist on it.  I'll probably return to the colourful version later on so watch this space!

Remember the monkey wallpaper I loved (and still do)? Well the company who have that one also have this fantastic Koi Fish print wallpaper.  To refresh the company is called A Shade Wilder Available in a selection of colours, my firm favourite is their black and grey colour way.  I have a sample of this and can assure you that their description of reflective scales really is their, it's beautiful.  If you don't wish to paper a full wall, buy 3 tall frames and frame some of the paper.

As with the other wallpapers they do, they also are very helpful here in providing a suitable cushion.  A fab piece of wall art is also available but I'd rather have the paper and cushion, but if you are only decorating a small space (for example room a home office desk) the artwork will be perfectly suitable.

The sea world is filled with textures and interesting object so keeping this in mind with accessories I found some lovely items, from the faux coral, shell balls and faux fossils from Cox & Cox to the silver tea light holder at White Mint.  Add these on floating shelves or mixed with some of your favourite books on this coffee table at West Egg.  I love the rustic metal frame that adds the edge to this room and creates more texture.  Available in grey, white or stripe.

And just before anyone mentions they have nowhere to sit in this room, I'm throwing in some fun from long time favourite Made.com Oh yes they have some new goodies in and I'm pleased to say this as finally arrived, also available in red and shark pattern (yes shark pattern - check out their site for that one).
