5 Best Alice In Wonderland Inspired Home Accessories

If you haven’t embraced the latest Alice in Wonderland interior trend then you are definitely late for a very important date! With a magical hint of fantasy and a feminine and colourful charm we have showcased 5 of the best Alice inspired accessories and furniture items that will have you grinning like a Cheshire cat.

A Trip into Wonderland

If you love fun and quirky furniture items then the Alice in Wonderland interior trend is perfect for you! You can go as crazy as you like with an array of neon and pastel colour tones that will provide a pop of magical colour and zesty fun to a neutral interior space. Alternatively for a real twist of the imagination why not purchase a statement furniture item such as a dresser or grandfather clock that has been styled in a bent and twisted abstract fashion (left). Take inspiration from artists such as Salvador Dali and his mind bending imagery that will create sculptural yet practical focal points within your interior space.

Mad Hatters Tea Party

With the rise of the Great British Bake Off, afternoon tea is at its most popular, with crockery and tea cups becoming a hot favourite with both designers and high street stores. Kath Kidston items have become increasingly favoured designs due to their feminine shabby chic style while more kitsch polka dot and monochrome striped designs will give a balance of vintage and contemporary style. You can take your Mad Hatters Tea Party theme a step further by investing in a fabulous stacked tea cup lamp base that will provide a quirky and unique centrepiece within a living room or bedroom area and provides an eye-catching nod to the fantastical without being excessively tacky.

The Queen of Hearts

No Alice inspired interior would be complete without a nod to the wicked and somewhat crazy Queen of Hearts. Her colour scheme of white, black and red his hot on trend this season and can be used as fabric combinations on your seats, curtains and cushions as they look wonderful in a vast range of interior settings. The deck of cards motifs will look great as a cushion print or selected piece of wall art as well as her famous line “Off with their heads!” which looks amazing as an illustrated print or bedding design. If you are feeling artistic then why not try your hand at a spot of furniture up-cycling by updating an old or tired furniture item with painted card motifs and colour schemes or if you are feeling flamboyant then use a decoupage technique and select actual playing cards to cover the exterior of your chosen item.

Time Keeping Through the Looking Glass

We can all recall the image of the jittery White Rabbit with his pocket watch but you need never be late for a date again with a fabulous selection of clocks and timepieces that will create a functional and magical feel to any interior space. This giant oversized pocket watch (right) will create a fabulous focal point within your interior space and will look particularly fantastical against a bold striped wallpaper or magical floral print for a contrast of natural and manmade visual styles. For a greater nod to the fantasy world of Wonderland, arrange a mismatched assemblage of clocks and/or ornate mirrors for a detailed Lewis Carroll inspired wall art design.

Rabbits, Cats and Dodos?

Animal imagery is a strong feature of the Alice in Wonderland tale with the charming Cheshire Cat and the zany White Rabbit being instantly recognisable characters from this flamboyant fantasy story. You can pay homage to these characters with some animalistic additions to your interior that are fun, cute and quirky. I love this amazing White Rabbit occasional chair (left) that provides a subtle nod to the Alice story while maintaining a chic and opulent finish that can fit both neutral and bold interior decors. Rabbit ornaments, cat cushions and illustrated prints will also create a detailed and themed finishing touch that is refined yet magical. If you feel like something a little more out of the ordinary then why not use some fabulous dodo wall art for a unique and unusual design idea.
