You all know by now how I’d much rather buy from an independent designer as opposed to the often dull and ‘samey’ High Street when it comes to home accessories.  And I’ve a feeling that most of you out there are the same!  I know it can be hard to find these little companies but every so often you come across one, like SJGuest.  I can’t imagine anything more satisfying or fulfilling than being able to make an sell your own designs, with no limits (well okay practicality and money are both factors but let’s not ruin the moment!…)

Design graduate Sarah Jane Guest creates unique home accessories with pretty, colourful prints. I particularly love the Frog and Clock stool!

I just can’t get enough of Donna Wilson’s website- in particular her cute soft creatures!  After graduating from The Royal College of Art in 2003, Donna set-up her own business designing and making a collection of curious cushions, luxurious lambswool blankets and variety of home accessories.  Contemporary, cool, fresh and new- I love it all!  I can see why she won the 2010 British Design Awards.

Each little handmade creature has a story to tell…

Beryl: Likes sausages, eggs and chips. Has a fear of fluffy slippers.

Rufus: Likes his ears being stroked, and going to parties.  He dislikes smelly feet

Rill: very lively, never stops running around, likes caterpillars and worms.
