Unusual metal wall art
Art of Metal specialise in producing a range of creative and unique home accessories all made from metal, including clocks, mirrors, sculpture and wall art.
This unusual metal panel wall art combines their best-selling sprial deign with a geometric steel canvas. The spiral design creates quite a contrast from the geometric lines, but provides plenty of interest.
Each piece of metal wall art is handmade in the UK, with slightly different colours and subtle design differences, so no two are exactly the same.
The standard size of the spiral wall art is 70cm by 50cm, and it costs £219.99 from Art of Metal (other sizes can be made to order).

Its shiny silver finish looks very glamorous, especially when the light catches it.

Nautical doorstop
The nautical and coastal trends are alive and kicking in homeware products at the moment, but if you’re not keen on some of the blue and white accessories, but do want a touch of nautical in your home, then this fabulous doorstop is perfect.
Produced in the form of a large knot, the chunky doorstop is made from heavy fishing rope. It has a large loop at the top, which makes it easy to move around and position it where you’d like it. It works well as a doorstop, but would look great in a corner for decorative purposes too.
The knot doorstop was originally £38, but it’s currently reduced to £29 in the Plumo sale.

Striking wooden candle stick
This is a candle stick that will really make an impression!
The hand crafted Fair Trade wooden candle stick is made in India from sustainable wood. Although classed as being the small size, the piece is naturally oversized (it measures 37.5cm) and is by no means a small and insignificant candle stick.
If you loved carved wooden home accessories, then this is the perfect candle stick for you!
Originally priced at £32, the carved candlestick is now £22.40 in the sale at Ascension.
