It is the beginning of spring, when the cherry blossoms are blooming and the trees begin coming back into life. It’s easy to think of trees as a design element that is typecast for Christmas decorations, just with the right twist of simplicity and colour trees can be a part of your home year-round. It is an evergreen motif, so to speak. — Jen from The Haystack Needle

Fine Little Moment

Black on White, Gran Wallpaper

One of my favorite design shops, Fine Little Day, published a new pattern that’s a contemporary twist on trees by a forest. I love the black and black combination.

I have seen a few shops carry wooden tree branch hooks, but this really is a unique twist on that layout. These branch hooks have been cast from metal for a more contemporary design. Clustered together, they feel much more like art than a pragmatic accent.
