Personal Home Additions

Occasionally, you get the feeling that some of the rooms in your house need a bit of sprucing up. Just a little home addition is enough to make the room feel interesting again, and give it a certain pizzazz. We have a few simple ideas to transform your room once again through our personalised home additions.

Photo Light Cube

Another versatile, and frankly awesome, personalised item in our range is the photo light cube, customisable with 5 photos. It creates a glow around the room, with the harsh direct light that some lamps can give off. It’s better though if you add photos that can be cropped into a square, as it looks better on your photo light cube this way. The 5 photos are printed on cloth, then hand sewn together at our London location. If you get tired of the photos that are on there, you could order another cover or leave it off for while (it will just give off white light). The photo light cube also comes with a remote control to control the lighting scheme, and you can order it with a standard British plug or a European 2 prong plug. It’s definitely a novel way of showing off your favourite photos!

Personalised Round Floor Cushions

A good addition to the children’s room is a personalised round floor cushion for play or just for sitting on. Styled for the living room and also great for kids rooms, play areas and just very handy to have for guests. Personalise your round floor cushion with two photos (or designs) and even a special message. It has a built in leather strap, so you can carry it around easily. You don’t have to worry about the round floor cushion getting dirty as well, since the cover is machine washable and the colours will not fade. It can be used while planting flowers or taking out weeds in the garden as well. Our personalised floor cushion makes a great talking point and always captures people’s imaginations.

Kitchen Additions

After awhile, you feel as though your kitchen has become boring and need a way to change it up. After a bit of spring cleaning (as we are now in the spring season), you could probably do with some simple additions to brighten up the room. We have a few products that will help you to spruce up your kitchen with a few simple items.

Fridge Magnet Letters

Fridge magnets are always a good way to give a well-used appliance a makeover. The fridge magnet letters are fired and glazed here in west London by the designer Jo. Made with finest porcelain, she stamps each and every one using new and vintage printing stamps as well as locally found ad hoc objects. Each letter comes in different colours too, for a unique look.  Everything is then finished in soft and subtle wash over colours. The fridge magnets are quirky and fun, and they make for a great new addition to a fridge.

Personalised placemats and personalised coasters

These will be the talking points of your guests when they dine on your set of personalised placemats. Choose your own designs or photos to put on it, and you could even add a message if you want to use them for a special event, like Valentine’s Day. The photos are printed deep into the material, so you don’t have to worry about it fading or coming off. The personalised placemats and personalised coasters both come with a super gloss finish and are built tough enough to withstand hot plates and spills. Both also can be wiped to clean. The personalised coasters can be put on the coffee table in the sitting room to prevent spills when the lads come over to watch the match. Both the personalised coasters and the personalised placemats are great practical kitchen additions that will brighten it up.

Wallpaper in Interior Design

Take your photos and designs to another level by making them part of your interior design. If you want a less drastic change, the wallpaper strips maybe a good option.

It’s so perfect for a nursery, since you can choose to put alphabet letters, numbers, or even the infant’s handprints on it. Customise the wallpaper borders with designs that your children personally love, with its ballerinas, dinosaurs, or footballs. Your imagination is the limit here!

Photo Wallpaper

For the more adventurous among you, you might want to try out our photo wallpaper, which will completely change the look of your room. Make a full length photo wallpaper using personal photos, a special design, or even better, a landscape. Use it to creatively fill up an empty space, such as a stairwell or a hallway. The material is super strong, and it is also scuff and tear resistant, so it can be used in high-traffic areas without being damaged. The photo wallpaper also acts as a good sound absorber. Be sure that you measure your space though, and then send us the measurements so we can make a photo wallpaper to the exact specifications of your wall. Take interior design to another level with our photo wallpaper!

Also, with a colourful and unique cover, it is easier to find in a handbag or backpack when you are in the queue for passport control. The leather passport cover is a good way to personalise something that can be so boring, since all of the EU passports are the colour and have relatively same design.
