SHELL OUT FOR LOBSTERS

-

The fishy trend for lobsters first swam to the surface in the spring fashion collection­s, and now they’re getting their claws into home decor.

“Who can forget when flamingo fashion came on the scene? Those flamboyant birds appeared on everything from fabrics to wallpaper, but now lobsters are pinching their space,” says Alison Hughes, co-founder of lifestyle homeware brand, Cream Cornwall.

“These bright red crustacean­s have a similar appeal to flamingos – because they’re so iconic and distinctiv­e. We have them decorating lampshades, cushions and tableware, and they’re really enjoying a moment in the sun currently. We predict more and more people will fall for lobster loveliness.”

■ DECOR TIP: Make a statement with a lobster print or decoration, if you’re fishing for compliment­s on your decor credential­s. Alternativ­ely, conjure a touch of coastal cool by featuring the theme in tableware and a collection of cushions.
