We keep a special place in our hearts for analog clocks. Even though we have the time on every piece of household electronics these days (heck, even my electric fan shows the time), having a huge clock somewhere around the house still makes sense somehow. If you like to keep a small clock on the coffee table, too, why not trade that in for this Analog Clocktail Table. Instead of putting a clock on the table, it puts a clock [...]
Corkboards are plenty useful. They are, however, a far cry from being affable to look at, which is why we tend to keep them out of the way, such as inside our office cubicles, on the side of the fridge or some other part of the house where they won’t be very prominent. Corkscapes offer a way to bring corkboards into more prominent areas of your digs. How? By turning them out in fancy, decorative shapes that make them every [...]
Sometimes, it’s the small touches that make the decor. If you’re trying to give your room the retro island resort feel, this Riviera Valet Tray should replace that Stretchy Bowl for holding all the stuff you dump out of your pockets as soon as you get in the door. Made by May Furniture Co. as part of their Spartan colletion, it’s a butler tray inspired by the ones parked right by the front door of your room at the hotel [...]
Unless you’re a teenager or a movie buff, movie-themed decals just seem a little too unsophisticated for adorning your home’s walls. Still, I can’t help but gush over just how pretty these Cinematographics Wall Murals are. Made by Pixers, the collection consists of high-quality decals, each one based on a popular film. Available in a variety of custom sizes from small to huge, the adhesive murals can cover up entire walls in any part of your digs, whether you plaster [...]
Turning a bottle into the body of a desk lamp probably isn’t the most original idea. We’re pretty sure we’ve seen it done a few times in the past, especially among folks who like upcycling erstwhile trash items. The Satechi Touch USB LED Lamp, however, lets you use empty bottles for the same purpose without much work, allowing you to turn any bottle into a lamp body. A lighting unit cut in the likeness of a lamp shade, you simply [...]
There was a time when homes had walls lined by volumes upon volumes of books. And you miss that. Well, bring it back without blowing stacks of cash buying actual books you’ll probably never crack open with this Library Wallpaper. Measuring 19.2 x 10.2 feet (w x h), it’s a theme wallpaper that turns your wall into a literal end-to-end bookcase filled with bound printed matter. Each book on the wallpaper is unique, giving you a legit-looking fake collection that [...]
Putting up roadkill skulls as trophy head displays doesn’t seem like the most appropriate way to dress up your urban chic apartment. There’s just something very 90s industrial metal about it — not the kind of thing a sophisticated man of the 21st century will use for decor. Unless, of course, they get finished in bright colors like these Painted Animal Skulls. Made by Stephan Alexandr, these are real skulls retrieved from animals who passed on. Some are partial, some [...]
Want a giant ruler? Of course you do. Who doesn’t want a giant ruler? If you have little kids, you can use that as the perfect excuse to get the Kids Rule. Made by Lovestruck Interiors, it’s a growth chart for measuring how tall your young ones are getting, just like those cardboard, canvas and plastic charts you can get from children’s supplies stores. Instead of sporting cute kiddie graphics, it’s done up like a giant vintage wooden ruler — [...]
Glass bowls make for great display containers, whether you’re housing a little goldfish, cute bonsai sculptures, or colorful marbles inside them. Want to make them more eyecatching, though? Skip placing your bowls in a shelf and use one of these Mono Hanging Bowls instead. Instead of holding your bowls in a shelf or a tabletop, these fixtures suspend your bowls in a hanging shelf of sorts, making for an extremely unique display piece. That way, you can admire your fishbowls, [...]
You’re a comic book fiend and you’ve learned to embrace it. So much so, in fact, that a giant comic art collage now adorns the wall in your living room, hanging proudly. If you suddenly realize the need for a divider anywhere in the house, we know exactly which one you’ll want to get: the Marvel Comic Book Covers Room Divider. Styled like a regular room divider, the furniture features six different panels that you can expand and collapse to [...]
Those shirts you’ve outgrown but can’t bear to throw away now hang on T-Frames up on your wall. Now, if only you can find a way to do the same to those half-dozen books you’ve hung on to all these years because they changed your life in such meaningful ways. Well, turns out that’s what the Boox is for. An acrylic glass frame, it’s sized and shaped to hold magazines and books, allowing you to show them off mounted up [...]
Power strips are basically ugly. Even when pushed up against the wall, they make for a noticeable eyesore, whether they’re laid across the floor of your media center, bedroom or workstation. The Invisiplug offers to make them just a tad more presentable. Granted, I’m disappointed that it’s not actually invisible. Wonder Woman won’t have any part of that. Done up in colors designed to match wood flooring, however, the novel power strip solution makes erstwhile indispensable eyesores look like a [...]
Table lamps are plenty useful for illumination. They’re hardly the most efficient use of space, though, with many portable lamps such as the LuminAID and the Coleman QuadLantern able to provide the same function sans the larger, more stylish form. This combo Terrarium/Display Table Lamp offers slightly more use while retaining an attractive decorative design. Made by SHare Studios, it’s a cylindrical lamp with a clear glass base that you can use either as a terrarium for your tiny lizard [...]
Putting up your kids’ drawings on the fridge door using magnets is a great way to show off their kiddie doodles. Once your little art prodigy graduates to doing sketches a little too advanced for his age, though, you’ll definitely want to show them off someplace other than the fridge door. These OpenFrames offer an ideal solution. Unlike traditional frames, these wooden display panels don’t have an inner slot where you can slip in your pictures and prints. Instead, it [...]
As Instagram grew, so have the printing services in its periphery, allowing you to get your digitally-filtered images slapped on everything from pillows to tiles to coasters. Photocarver does those services one better by not just printing your photos — they carve them into slabs of wood, instead. Yep, your digital photos turned into wood relief, the same kind of woodcarving they used to do in the days before photographs came into the world. And the service isn’t limited [...]
We all fall in love with our shirts sometimes. Whether it’s that old Ramones presidential seal tee you wore to death in the 90s, that mashup New York Lakers Undefeated shirt you wore to games semi-ironically, or that ironic Large Pocket Shirt that seemed very funny when you wore it last year but just seems like a reminder of your utter stupidity now, we all went through months (sometimes years) of treating one special shirt very fondly. And if you’d [...]
Want to build a greenhouse, but you don’t have anywhere near the space for one? Not a problem with the IKEA Socker, a miniature greenhouse you can set up on a table for all your indoor growing needs. Designed to “provide a good environment for seeds to sprout and plants to grow,” the contraption actually looks like a dollhouse with all-glass walls. You know, the kind Exhibitionist Barbie will live on if she existed and came with matching Peeping Tom [...]
You love scrabble. A heckuva lot. So much so that you even mounted one of those Giant Scrabble Boards in the bedroom. Might as well match what’s on the wall with what you’ve got on the floor, right? The Scrabble Rug is exactly what you need. Clad in an exact replica of a standard Scrabble board, you can use the rug to play a real game. Provided, of course, that you can find tiles to fit the extra-large board (yep, it doesn’t [...]
Sometimes, your wall shelves are very useful. Other times, they just remain barren and empty. You like to change things up that way. Problem is, you wish you can just get rid of shelves when you feel like it without having to plug the holes and repaint them. Well,you can do just that with the Klaffi, a foldable wall shelf system. Instead of removing the shelves when you don’t want to use them, though, you just fold them in using [...]
