CASTLE: Colourful Home Accessories

I'm so excited to press Publish on this blog post I could squeal! Sometimes I happen upon a brand that just resonates so well with my aesthetic; the graphic and colourful simplicity of Castle's home accessories is one such example. Founded in 2008 by Rachel Castle, the brand began by offering a capsule range of bedlinen originally made for friends and family. Castle soon garnered commercial interest (rightly so!) and now offers a range of colourful and often handcrafted and printed pieces for the home. As I clicked madly through the products on Rachel's site, I kept recognising UK props and products used to style her lifestyle images. All become clear when I discovered that she used to live over here in the UK working for The Conran Shop! I recognised the artworks as there is one hanging above the bed in Mr Jason Grant's Sydney home - I'm so pleased to discover the origin! Personally I'm crushing on the 'do the cha cha' artwork and the spotty bedlinen. How about you, folks?

    I have BIG love for Castle too! We have a couple of their yellow pompom cushions, and I want to add some bed linen too. Also craving their diamond artwork and round velvet cushions - divine. xxx

    The dots totally speak to me since my decor revolves around dots and circles. And what's not to love about that cheery color palette!

    Is there anything I don't love about Castle and Things! I bought my husband one of Rachel's prints for Christmas, but of course just had to slip a cushion or two in for myself! It's an ongoing obsession really.

    @Igor - Let's go! ;)

    @rolala, elissa, Jeanee, Candylei, Rachel, Blondedesign - I'm with you on that, they are so cheerful to look at!

    @Kelly, Urban Nester - I know, right. So me! :)

    @fox and fawn, Carla - Thanks for checking them out!

    @littletree - The colourful type is majorly flirting with my love for typography, too!

    @Amanda - Ha, that made me smile. I would have to do the same - all so tempting!

    Love the bold colours. Really breathes vibe into the room, and definately going to invest in some of those bright seat cushions. I have white walls and something has been missing for a while, and I think that's it.
