Royal Doulton and street art have united! The brilliant artists Nick Walker and Pure Evil and the iconic English tabletop and collectibles company have collaborated on a limited edition collection that is wickedly cool. These standout accessories break down the barrier between home and street art and remind us that the unexpected is most mesmerizing. Whether you use them as wall art or tabletop accessories, this is one collection you don’t want to miss out on.

Perfect pairing
When a renowned fashion designer collaborates with a beloved home-decor store it's hard not to get a little giddy. New York fashion designer Steven Alan and West Elm have created a beautiful, handcrafted home collection that's simple, timeless and special through and through. I just love the casual elegance of the hand-blocked stripes and abstract pillows.

Mixed design
Nate Berkus for Target continues to get oohs and aahs. The superstar designer’s spring looks are just as beautiful as expected. Inspired by travel and the runway, the new collection encourages mixing different elements of design. You can happily build a beautiful currated look for your home in soothing colour palettes, graphic patterns and exciting textures.

Calling all artists
It’s not every day the average Joe (or Jane) has a chance at stardom. Haven't we all dreamed of a little artistic fame at some point or another? EQ3, the modern furniture company, is working with the Michaëlle Jean Foundation to encourage local artists to share their artwork and compete in a charitable challenge called Generation Art. Not only do you get a chance to have your designs come to life on EQ3 products (how cool!), but you'll also be helping underprivileged youth.
