decor idea: cotton ball string lights

cotton-ball-string-lights-cotton-and-cable

I was sourcing some cotton ball string lights for one of my mini-clients recently and came accross  this gorgeous image that I wanted share with you. Isn’t this the cutest elephant soft toy you have ever seen? As soon as I find out where to get hold of it, I’ll let you know.

But back to cotton ball string lights. You’re probably familiar with them, but if you haven’t been able to find a mix of colours that suits your little one’s room decor, you can pick and mix your own over at Cable and Cotton. To design your own string light, you can choose from 3 different lengths and 43 colours (I’ve counted them). Perfect to bring some sunshine indoors and they make a sweet accent to any kids room.

Have fun! x

  1. The cotton ball string lights are just beautiful – I love the ‘Mexican’ colour theme combo on the Cable and Cotton site.

    I soooo want one of those Elephants too! What a sweet pattern.

  2. That elephant just looks soooo soft and cuddly and the pattern look almost Paul Smith’ish what a gorgeous find.

  3. I love cotton ball lights and that elephant is adorable. Two of daughters are elephant fans, which are affectionately known as Squirts (the elephants not the girls) in our house!

  4. What a good idea – thanks for the link to Cable and Cotton and it’s a lovely image too x

  5. Love these. They are one of our bestsellers. Instant happiness in a light!

  6. Glad you all like ‘m girls. And it looks like the elephant mystery has been solved. It’s made by Andreas Linzer – the lovely Nina from By Graziela recognised it and wrote in! He’s done a limited edition for By Graziela, you can see it on my Facebook page.

  7. Oh I love the elephant with all the pretty colours 🙂 And string lights really add some fun to any interior.
