Read MoreWe’re a sucker for stationery, as many of us are. So when David came across this tropical notebook from Urban Outfitters, he just couldn’t resist. Stationery porn.

Read MoreMusic is such a big part of our lives that we want to somehow incorporate this into our interiors! Now, we don’t actually have a record player, but Mark does have a lot of vinyl that he’s picked up over the years. Together we have pretty eclectic music taste and sometimes we do disagree, but…

So whether it’s eyes on the floor, walls, office desk or table, here are a few printed pieces we’ve spotted which people won’t be able to…
Read MoreAs fans of skulls, colour and Frida Kahlo, and seen as David has just started reading ‘The Lacuna’, we thought why not put together a Mexican inspired interiors post?
