Bricks Fix THREE

        Bringing to life our obsession with words...

Add some fun to your décor by trying Liz Foster's and Johnnys Sisters letter cushions to brighten up your sofa or bed! Be creative and use them to spell a word, name, initials or have lots of different letters!

Also why not try making your very own scrabble picture, using the scrabble to spell phrases or personal messages. Pick a fabric or a patterned paper to create a background for your letters, finish off with a frame placing it either on a wall with a collection of frames or sitting nicely on a shelf. Making your own is great as it allows you to experiment with your own personal style! Don’t be afraid to go bold, vintage floral patterns work great!

Encourage individuality and a unique wall display by grouping together a collection of letters. Mix and match to suit your style. Make a statement by playing with different scale, turn some of the letters on their side – experiment! Hunt for letters in antique shops, and the internet is great, try Bombay Duck and Not on the high street.

Select meaningful initials and try hanging them from the wall in an empty frame, allowing the wall colour to show through. Quirky and adds instant character! Check out the fun initial coat hooks and candle stick holders from The Letterroom too.

As well as making wall features, you can use letters scattered around your home. Add to your shelf of nik naks or even on the fireplace, the more cluttered the more interesting. Try your local craft shop to buy your own letters, decorate with patterned paper, spray paint or even use a fabric + glue! Be creative with where you place your letter, be bold!

I love words, especially when used in a creative (& cheeky) setting. Whether made from wood, aluminium, ceramic, stainless steel…they instantly look great wherever they are placed - on the wall, on a door, on a bookshelf or somewhere not so expecting…

Have fun when choosing your words, although the white coloured wording looks great on the white wall don’t be afraid to add some bold colours to your space… draw attention! Check out the “LOVE” in Next.
