Deer oh Deer

Seems like every Interiors feature is recommending Antlers at the moment. So Rudolph is finally having a fashion moment!

Sweetpea & Willow are making a nod to the trend (see the door hooks section). I am loving this lamp with its antler base

and this really wild mirror which is great for an English Eccentrics or a country house look.

For something that still buys into the trend but is a bit happier in an urban setting have a look at our Little Devil chrome horns.
To fit in with this outdoorsy trend, I have a lovely Reindeer Rug that I got from therealrugcompany.co.uk in front of my fireplace (will move it on Xmas eve-don’t want to offend Father Xmas) Styled with a glamorous chandelier I think it’s total decadence!

Anne Ashworth, The Times, wrote a really good piece about the appeal of Antlers. Reassuring to find that they are shed by deer once a year and then regrown. Michelle Ogundehin, Editor of Elle Deco said that the appeal of antlers is “hankering after older things, the nostalgic and the cosy, for the authentic and natural”

I also saw a really funky way of buying into the trend with a trophy deer head wall sticker but not sure where it came from. Maybe you could try painting your own.


Tata for now
