Ikat fabrics are hot this year and they being used for everything from these decorative throw pillows from Explore Tessera to lamp shades, table runners, and accent chairs and ottomans. Ikat means "to bind" and it has come to describe a very ancient tie-dyeing and weaving technique. Handcrafted in Uzbekistan, these vibrant cotton-silk Ikat throw pillows make a colorful statement while adding pizzazz to any design scheme.

Both of these contemporary clocks for the desk come from Nava Design and use numbers to make an artistic statement. Whether we choose to believe it or not, numbers always have us "coming and going" whether it's trying to catch a flight, rush home to see the kids or figure out when the work day ends. The first model pictured shows the numbers all jumbled on the bottom and is fittingly called the "Jetlag Clock". The other version is called "Time Square Mini Numeri". Each clock retails for $120 HERE.

Next time you are cooking a romantic dinner for two, accentuate the atmosphere by some soft lighting. A candlelit dinner may be a cliche but it always work. We particularly liked the Ghost Candelabra which is a contemporary take on the traditional candle stick. Designed by Innermost, the Candelabra's highlight is its etched acrylic panels that also contain glass candle holder inserts. You can buy it from Pure Modern for $79.25.

If you are more "new school" then you might be looking for a trolley or bar serving cart that is not the typical two-level on wheels version. This piece called "Toto" features a design that is more like a cube and departs from the two level prototypes. A nice feature on the serving cart are the storage sections which offer better security from something "falling off the cart" in case one has too many drinks. More information: here.

I really enjoy the look and feel of these 4 ventless fireplaces from Anywere Fireplace. Three of the models are designed to fit in a wall and don’t require an enormous amount of space for installation. A fourth option is more like a coffee table allowing for portability. Each of these models does not require any ventilation to run. They burn bio-ethanol which is a clean burning fuel that leaves no odors or soot. One liter of bio-ethanol is designed to burn for 2-5 hours depending on the size of the ventless fireplace. See all the four models: HERE. Prices: $200-$400.

This simple lamp won the prestigious Red Dot Design Award in March 2009 for its clever design. It is called the “LED Lamp”. This desk lamp is turned off and on using a concealed sensor at the base of the lamp. Perhaps the most amazing quality is how the lights themselves were so well blended into the thin strip of wood in the lamp’s arm. The end result is more like a wooden sculpture rather than a traditional lamp design. More information can be found here.

Decorative cubes are great extras in home decorating as they can be used in a multitude of ways. This product is called “Undo” from Derin Design and features the contrasting colors of black and white. In the picture the cubes have been stacked in somewhat of a zig-zagging fashion. They could also be stacked straight up for a different look. Besides acting as home accessories, these handy items can also act as tables storing design objects such as lamps or vases.
