The summer solstice has recently passed and we are now officially in summertime. The solstice occurs twice a year, in the northern and southern hemispheres – once during the winter and once in the summertime.
This year June 20th saw the summer solstice marking the longest period of daylight and the shortest night of the year. This time of year always reminds us of the passing of time and the various ways we display chronology at home.
The following beautiful items showcase time and the influence of the heavens on our daily lives. From wall and alarm clocks to artistically drawn rugs and towels, the pieces available here at Homecolours leave no doubt that summer is officially here.
The above Newgate Number Three Echo Wall Clock offers a classic and well-presented opportunity for showing off the time in style. The clock comes in a striking-coloured acrylic case with a strong finish and comes complete with a graphic dial and neatly formed numerals and markings.
A lovely way to always know the correct time, the battery-powered clock is simple to fit and secure to any wall in the home.
A gorgeously made way to set an alarm is provided with the Arne Jacobsen Station Table Clock. Incorporating the original 1939 design, the graphic look and metal base is ideal for a clearly styled alarm clock for a design-conscious home.
Coming equipped with modern settings such as a crack-resistant lens, a snooze option and a light sensor, the clock combines a retro look with the latest features. Available in a variety of colours, it is an elegant way to stay on time.
The image of the sun provides a compelling vision of the gorgeous Sun Tufted Rug from Ferm Living.
Ideal for a lovely look in the home, the life-giving solar symbol is ideal for adding charm to an interior. Providing a super soft finish for the home, the delightfully made rug is produced with top-quality New Zealand wool and is sure to bring a smile to the face. The dimensions of the rug measure 130cm x 130cm and this spacious size is ideal for both living rooms and bedrooms.
The natural wonder of the sun and summer is often a source of inspiration for the greatest artists. This was true of William Morris, whose Strawberry Thief design forms the central focus for the above set of premium towels.
The elegant collection offers a plush and soft towel in different sizes. Easy to wash and care for, the towels present a spellbinding pattern influenced by the sun at full height.
