I’d like to introduce our newest sponsor the wonderful Hunkydory Home! Hunkdory Home is an online home accessories retailer that specialises in colourful and bold designs. Alison the founder launched Hunkydory in 2005. Keen to provide ’something a bit different’ she began producing the now signature funky, retro lampshades and cushions. Since then Hunkydory has flourished and expanded into a retailer stocking the best in quirky design.

Above is a selection of my favourites from the store – head on over to here and discover yours.

Gentle offerings from Karin Erikkson’s online shop Manos; raspberry pink striped towel, glass jugs reformed from milk bottles, Karin’s own porcelain grass cup, green candy stripe note-card and textured linen hand-towel.

I was delighted yesterday when I received an email from the press office of a shop close to my heart. On the corner of peaceful Portland Road in London sits this gem of a kitchen and dining store stocking French provincial goods. Summerill and Bishop was a place I was sent to a lot when I was assisting on interior magazines to source beautiful cutlery, or antique linens.

I used to relish the time spent in there, being as hushed and sleepy as the store was. Anyway, as is the case with treasures of shops like these, they tend not to need great websites, however as the email informed me, they now have a online shop! For those of you who can’t visit this glorious shop, the website allows you to purchase gorgeous French oven to tableware, a vast range of Spanish and Portuguese cookware, antique French bistro glasses and so much more. My favourites have to be the deep shiny copper pans which are bound to make my cooking taste better!

Tine K Home, is a lifestyle shop based in Denmark, and is a beautiful collection of home interiors & lifestyle accessories designed by interior designer Tine Kjeldsen.

I love the luscious feel of these images full of textures and muted colours with touches ofpinks greens and mauves. So pretty!

Have you discovered it yet? Luscious interior shop Atelier Abigail Ahern is now selling their treasures online!

Products from this surreal London homewares brand fronted by Stylist Abigail Ahern are wonderfully original and often witty. You will find ostrich shaped side tables and space defying convex mirrors, barbie pink coffee tables and chandelier made from hundreds of porcelain leaves all played out against the darkest of backgrounds.

However style like this doesn’t come cheap – which is why it’s rather nice to finally have an online shop that lets you peruse and contemplate for hours, days or even years before you take the inevitable plunge!
