Antique style world map
Styled in the form of an antique world map, with its aged look, this piece thankfully won’t set you back an antique price to buy.
It’s a poster and it’s available from Play.com for only £3.99.
You could use it as it is, or pop it in a nice frame. Either way, it’s a bit of a bargain.
Handmade mussel shell heart
Decorative heart motifs are very in vogue, especially where they’ve been produced using recycled or reclaimed materials (like this driftwood heart, for example).
In this instance, it’s mussel shells that have been utilised in a creative way and don’t they work well! The shells have lovely shades of indigo, blue and white and the way they’ve been put together brings with it a sense of movement and swirls within the heart shape.
Handmade in Devon, the mussel shell heart measures 22cm by 19cm. It can be purchased from Vintage Living for £18.99.
Vintage design cake paper
One tried and tested method, and something that doesn’t require a lot of artistic skill, is to purchase some good quality decorative wrapping paper and either use it simply as a poster on a wall, or for a more stylish look, pop it in an inexpensive frame.
If you like all things vintage, and are rather partial to cake, then this vintage cake paper by Cavallini would make a great piece of wall art.
The high quality paper features a range of sumptuous looking cakes, from archive designs, and measures 50cm by 70cm.
If you want something for a nursery or a child’s room, then they also do a lovely retro ABC paper, with colourful letters and representative images next to some of them. It measures the same size as the cake paper.
Why not make this into art for a nursery?Both the vintage cake paper and retro ABC paper can be purchased from Berry Red for £2.95 each.
Green bird wall art
If you’re looking for some wall art for your home, then Homes and Dreams, an online boutique specialising in country style home accessories, has some nice pieces that are definitely worth a look.
Made from recycled wood, the art panels feature a variety of different prints, including birds, floral themes and some nice old scripts, and would look lovely hung on their own or in a group.

The art panels are £17.50 each from Home and Dreams.
Dramatic baroque headboard wall sticker
Wall stickers or decals are being widely used in home decor and interior design and are a great way of producing instant effects on your walls, without loads of hard work. They’re also relatively easy to remove, if you get bored with the sticker and fancy a change of decor.
We’re rather impressed by the intricacy and impact of this baroque headboard wall sticker.
The wall sticker is part of a range sourced from France and would add a dramatic look to a bedroom.
The baroque wall sticker is made to order and available in a wide variety of colours, so you can really tailor it to fit in with your home decor.
It’s available from Rockett St George, along with some other great designs, and costs £140.
