Hanging Around

Mirrors and pictures can make a wall feel more personal, but an interesting wall hanging makes for a focal point, subtle quirk, and conversation.

Get hooked on hooks. Fanciful hooks are pretty and useful.


An animal-friendly twist is fun and quirky





Illuminated origami animal heads are beautiful and artsy







A large bronze wall sculpture sets a sophisticated tone





Tea Time

Tea has countless health benefits, is calorie free, and is delicious hot or cold. At Fig & Faun, we love tea and its health benefits! We also love tea cups, mugs, and kettles, that are decorative as they are useful.





Whether is bright and floral, or muted and matte, you teacup selection should vary as much as your mood








Sketched floral designs emote simplicity and nature, and are beautiful in a row on a kitchen shelf








An indigo feathered teacup is delicate and artsy, filled with green tea, it's the perfect companion for an afternoon of writing




White tea has less caffeine and will not stain your teeth. It's available in many flavors. Try a citrus infused white tea for an early morning wake up call.



Black tea is loaded with caffeine and a great substitute to coffee. Add milk and a little raw rough cut sugar to create a more full flavor.



Green tea has less caffeine than black tea but is still caffinated. Two cups of green tea each day may slow aging and supply your body with cancer-fighting anti-oxidants.



A bright tea pot is the perfect punch of color for an otherwise plain kitchen



Green Thumb

Indoor plants and herbs are an easy way to begin to learn about gardening, and are beautiful additions to your indoor space. Whether you want one tall indoor plant as a focal point, or many tiny plants as an integral design feature, adding indoor plants to you home will make it feel more alive.


Mint and Rosemary are easy to grow and can be used in many dishes



Homegrown herbs wrapped with rafia make a simple and pretty accent






Herbs can be grown next to your kitchen sink or on your porch in simple, draining containers



An illuminum bucket is a clean and simple way to showcase bright green leaves.





These simple terracota pots set in glass are the perfect mix of transluscency and earthiness.

These feathery leaves almost look like they're floating.



A fish bowl of quartz and succulent plants resembles an elegant atrium

& MAKES A STATEMENT



A succulent wreath is a beautiful way to decorate for any season



Dressed up dresser

Refinished furniture is the ultimate recycling move, and new fixtures can breathe new life into old, worn out pieces. Whether they are whimsical ceramic, antique glass, or carved wrought iron, dresser knobs are an easy and inexpensive way to dress up your hand-me-down furniture.















Scour antique shops, boutiques, and flea markets for special knobs. Urban Ore in Berkeley has a great selection of used fixtures.
