House Of Hackney

While not my usual aesthetic, House of Hackney, a new east London based interiors company, has absolutely caught my eye.  Designed to break the rules of traditional English designs in order to appeal to a new generation, House of Hackney has been described as "Colefax and Fowler on acid." And, with wallpapers that depict sloths smoking hookahs and badgers drinking cocktails it's easy to see why.  What's your take on this cheeky approach to mad hatter style?

    Their photography is beautiful, but way too traditional for me.

    It's eye catching for sure. Not quite the look we prefer... a little to busy.

    I've been following them as well! While a little out there, they have a fabulous art/creative director. Their campaigns are incredibly well done!!

    A little thick and heavy for my taste but always great to see something away from the decor norm!

    Very eye catching. It is my style, just ten times what I would want. But I love the photographs. Gorgeous!

    I love it, although still a bit frilly for my southern cal aesthetic, but I'm glad someone's doing it and I'm all for the fun!
