<\/p>\n

Dinosaurs aren\u2019t a new home trend. They\u2019ve been appearing on nursery wallpaper, pyjamas and in the shape of soft and wooden toys for a very long time. Just recently, though, we\u2019ve noticed that these cunning reptiles have been escaping the children\u2019s rooms and running riot in the rest of the house. The dinosaur motif is instantly recognisable and perfect for adding a witty to touch to anything from lamps to wallpaper. Go for understated colours and stylised -rather than realistic \u2013 shapes, and dinosaurs will feel right at home in an adult environment. Go for subtle, neutral colours as anything in bright, primary colours could risk looking a little young. We\u2019ve picked out a few of our favourite finds to get you started on your new Jurassic theme.<\/p>\n

Add a little sass to your home with this \u2018So fierce\u2019 dinosaur print, Mint & May<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Embrace the sassy with this So Fierce dinosaur print. The humour comes from the contrast between a realistic portrayal of a 40-foot tall reptile and this neon pink, cartoon-like character swinging a handbag.  This high-quality risograph piece has been printed on 240gsm uncoated paper, sourced from sustainable forests. Sold unframed for \u00a314.95, available from Mint & May<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This lampshade is a perfect example of the \u2018dinosaurs for adults\u2019 genre. The shade with its monochrome colour scheme and touch of gold will suit most decors from the ultra modern to the vintage collector. Using a mix of Victorian illustrations this quirky shade is hand finished to ensure that no two are the same. It\u2019s printed to order on fine art paper and finished off with a hand-applied gold detail. \u00a365, available from Mountain & Molehill.<\/a><\/p>\n

This cushion is actually aimed at children, but with its monochrome colour scheme we think it would be equally at home downstairs! It features a steaming volcano and the word \u2018Roar!\u2019 is written in Sophie\u2019s handwriting. It comes complete with a duck feather inner. Was \u00a327.50, now \u00a323.37, available from Sophie Allport. <\/a><\/p>\n

Raise a cuppa to the T-Rex with this Time for Tea-Rex mug, Dinosaurs Doing Stuff<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This mug is a collaboration between Dinosaurs Doing Stuff and Jinny Ngui Design. The illustration is on both sides of the mug, and the text \u2018Time for Tea-Rex\u2019 features to the left of the image. Each mug is made of bone china and is decorated by hand and then fired at 820\u00b0C. The design is fully fired into the glaze so is suitable to be used in the dishwasher. \u00a315, available from And So To Shop. <\/a><\/p>\n

This wallpaper is available in several different colourways, but we like this muted silver and white. It\u2019s made with eco friendly water based inks and FSC approved paper and there are also matching fabric, lampshade and cushions in the range. We think it would be perfect for a downstairs loo, or make a great feature wall for a study. \u00a360 per roll, available from Paperboy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u2018Fleurassic Park\u2019 wallpaper, Bobo 1325<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/a>
This \u2018Fleurassic Park\u2019 wallpaper, Bobo 1325 is a quirky mash up of dinosaurs and floral design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Just the name of this wallpaper has captured us completely! We love this vibrant, tongue-in-cheek design with dinosaurs wandering in and out of a floral fantasy forest. It\u2019s not cheap at \u00a3160 a roll, but it would make a fabulous talking point in almost any room and is perfect for a feature wall. Available in different designs from Bobo 1325.<\/a><\/p>\n
