1. Stella Felt Rug By Michelle Mason

A fun and funky take on the oft-boring wool rug, the Stella Felt Rug instantly draws the eye. You could lay it over wood, tile or existing carpet, and it comes in a range of colours. Kirstie’s Homemade Home fans can rest assured that this rug is made in the UK from 100 per cent wool.
NotOnTheHighStreet.com, £350

2. Cut Out 1 Rug By WovenGround

Remarkably for a rug that looks like both a muddy island and a single-cell amoeba, this is a hit with the 4Homes team. We love the irregular shape, as well as the flexibility of being able to order it in a custom size. Cut Out 2 is also available, and both rugs can be slotted together should you so choose.
WovenGround, £260

3. Nani Marquina Do-Lo-Rez Rug By Ron Arad

It’s not cheap, but it is pretty. Really pretty. If blue isn’t your colour, you can also opt for varying shades of red or grey. Why not order all three?
Nest.co.uk, £2,342

4. Motor Club Rug By Fine Bedlinens

It might be aimed at the kids’ bedroom market, but I reckon this retro car rug could make a playful focal point in all kinds of interiors. Those with developed levels of taste and maturity may disagree.
Fine Bedlinens, £44.04

5. Pirate Rug By WovenGround

Made from hard-wearing synthetic material and designed to be as childproof as possible, the Pirate Rug should, in theory, provide hours of entertainment for the little ones, and a bit of peace and quiet for mum and dad.
WovenGround, was £110, now £99

Here’s five contemporary lamps that caught my eye, all found using the 4Homes Product Search.

1. Kartell Cindy Table Lamp

A much-imitated design classic, the Cindy Lamp by Kartell is a regular in interior design magazines and it’s easy to see why. Available in a variety of colours to suit any interior.
Heal’s, £125. I’m also told it’s available from www.design-conscious.co.uk with a free energy-saving bulb.

2. Flamp Lamp

A delightfully playful lamp-in-a-box, the Flamp Lamp has gone down a treat on the international design circuit. It’s effortlessly cool, unique, and a bit of a bargain. Should you wish to buy me one for Christmas, feel free.
redcandy, £35

3. Bonsai Table Lamp by Catellani & Smith

Handcrafted from brass in Italy, the Bonsai Table Lamp is both opulent and expensive. It’s beautifully sculpted, and each of those branches is flexible for varied effects. It might bust your budget, but if you can justify the initial outlay then this timeless piece of lighting design will last a lifetime.
T-House Interiors Showcase via mydeco, £898

4. ALMA Pawn White Glass Table Lamp

For all the minimalists among you (you know who you are), the creamy curves and dimmable light of the Pawn Glass Table Lamp will soften the stark lines of your modern home. It comes in three sizes, priced at £175, £284 and £492. Not cheap, but utterly chic.
allupandon, from £175

5. Halo Brushed Chrome Table Lamp

If chrome and curves are your thing and you’ve got a keen eye for price, the Halo Chrome Table Lamp is for you. Looks great and proves that elegance and flair needn’t break the bank.
Argos, £38.99
