Design picks
Here are a few wowee product ideas from local designers and interiors creatives who have rifled through their fabulous-ideas-to-pick-up-a-room-with-finesse files and picked out a couple for us to revel in, research further and round up for our own rooms, just as if it was our idea in the first place...
Sculptural lighting One of the simple steps we often take at Catriona Archer Interiors to create a well designed interior is by introducing large, bold lamps. This sculptural Astraeus ceramic table lamp by Habitat does just that. With its tactile form and neutral tones, it is a quietly confident and contemporary addition to a space. Habitat at Argos, £65

Mural wallpapers I often prefer using wall murals instead of repeat-pattern wallpapers in my interiors. Made.com has launched this clever three-panel mural wallpaper called ‘Hua Trees’. The design uses traditional Chinese inks and it’s a great option for those of us not wanting the cost and hassle of a hand-painted design. Made.com, £195 for a 2.1m x 3.2m area
Regency Etagères I love these warm-toned maple Etagères, inlaid with ebony, which are both beautiful and functional. They are a particularly useful size and fit with many decorative styles – they could hold lamps, be set in alcoves, alongside a sofa or by a bedside. From Beau Nash Antiques, Bath, £14,625 Reading chair This chair is a fabulously elegant take on traditional English country furniture. I’d have it as a perch by a fireside or in a bedroom. It is handmade in north Yorkshire by an ex-quantum physicist: which is a great story to tell those who inevitably will ask. From Berdoulat, Margaret’s Buildings, Bath, £1200
