The hot list: 10 favourite accessories to make your home look otherworldly



Head for the final frontier with our 10 favourite accessories to make your home look otherworldly.

Window to the universe

This Galaxy printed roller blind by Artylicious is a great alternative to humdrum window dressings. With the design digitally printed onto the fabric, these blinds are made to measure and will create a cool effect for your window area.

Warming up

The Cocoon Aeris hanging fireplace by Go Modern is ideal for those with limited space. Suspended from the ceiling, the bio ethanol fire rotates 360 degrees and will add a futuristic touch to any room – even if it is too warm to ever use it ­properly.

Lunar love

This “I love you to the moon and back” print is pretty adorable as is, but can also be customised for added cuteness. The Moon can be depicted in its various phases and creators can find lunar phases for future dates – the night you propose or get married, for example.

Go ape

Nothing screams 1970s psychedelic quite like this Planet of the Apes poster by Vratislav Hlavaty. Mixing characters from the 1968 film with Che Guevara imagery, this near-mint poster will add a touch of vintage quirkiness to any space.

Final frontier

Great for doing up your little one’s room – or an office area for those adults embracing their inner child – the yellow Final Frontier wallpaper by PaperBoy panders to anyone with a love of science fiction.

All systems go

Those with little aspiring astronomers will find that this Solar System wall mural by Terry Fan makes for a striking and educational playroom addition. Easy to maintain – simply use a soft cloth to wipe it clean – this printed, non-woven wallpaper will bring the seven planets and the Sun to life.

In the moonlight

This darling cut­away Moon Marquee light by Two Girls and a Container provides beautiful ambient light, and is ideal for both living and bedroom areas. As an added eco-friendly bonus, this particular piece is fitted with LED bulbs. We’d hang it up above our bed.

A comfortable space

Snuggle up with this cozy Planet cushion by Artylicious. Featuring Planet Earth as seen from space, this soft, machine-washable, faux suede pillow makes for a precious addition to any room.

3-2-1... blast-off

Those looking to add an eye-catching piece to brighten an otherwise boring room will love the industrial-style Ocampo mirror from Andrew Martin. We love the spaceship-like feel of this studded iron-and-zinc wall hanging.

Fly me to the moon

We adore this precious Rock & Rocket lamp from KSL Living. Great for kids and adults alike, the piece works either as a floor lamp in a playroom or as part of a more eclectic living-room set-up.

British Airways flies from Abu Dhabi and Dubai to Reykjavik, via London, with return flights taking 12 hours and costing from Dh2,490 return, including taxes. 
The activities: A half-day Silfra snorkelling trip costs 14,990 Icelandic kronur (Dh544) with Dive.is. Inside the Volcano also takes half a day and costs 42,000 kronur (Dh1,524).
