Pink bathroom set from Matalan

Very retro and very pink! If you're looking for something more fun than the abundance of elegant stoneware, porcelain, polished metal and glass options for bathroom accessories we see everywhere these days, try this collection. This cute enamelled aluminium bathroom set includes a toothbrush holder, lotion/soap dispenser and tumbler and is just a tenner from Matalan. If you're a pink fanatic, check out our previous features on appliances and kitchenware.

Daily Telegraph House & Garden Fair 2007

Coming up at the end of June is this year's Daily Telegraph House & Garden Fair. Attractions include the 'Clouds of Scent' concept garden by designer Todd Longstaffe-Gowan, featuring a series of giant floating shapes hanging from the ceiling, workshops on interior colour schemes, lighting and gardens run by the KLC School of Design, plus a spotlight on contemporary young British designers and their work as part of the ISOS Collection. I'm impressed by the promo motif design they've gone with this year - half flower, half lamp ('Supernova' by Ferruccio Laviani for Foscarini). Gorgeous! See the show at London Olympia from 27th - 30th June and book tickets through the site.
