Featuring on this post are some of the eye-catching and unusual finds in the Design Village, the Designersblock curated part of Interiors UK 2012.

Pop up B&B’s with House of Hackney, Donna Wilson and Morag Myerscough
Not only did we get a pop-up pub in the Design Village at Interiors UK but also three funky bed and breakfast rooms.

Interiors UK 2012: Celeb spotting: LLB, a flushed George Clarke, plus Barbara Chandler’s Love London
Interiors UK wouldn't be complete without a few stars of the interiors world and the dashing King of Flamboyancy himself was at the show, Laurence Llewelyn Bowen, appearing far too healthy and tanned for a cold January day.
