Spotted! Fun and Stylish Bunnies in the House
'Tis the season for the Easter Bunny – but it doesn't mean we can only have the furry creature once a year in our homes
Rabbits: they’re cute and cuddly in real life, and they’re whimsical and awesome in fairytales (think Alice in Wonderland and Peter Rabbit). They’re not exactly the easiest of pets (they’re quite high-maintenance!). But we still want them in our homes! So – without an actual rabbit – how do you bring one home, without making your stylish space look like a nursery?
It’s cheeky and sophisticated at the same time. It’s versatile enough to go with any style – contemporary, Scandinavian, even Victorian.

Miffy mosaic
We saved many Singaporeans’ favourite white bunny, Miffy, for last because we have several lovely rooms to show. This bathroom may be a tad kiddy, but the millennial pink mosaic tiles, combined with white and accent colours, is so on-trend.

More Miffy
A Miffy lamp by Mr Maria will work in spaces for both children and grown-ups. It looks charming in a monochromatic chill-out space, or a room designed specifically for a child.

The edgy furniture and accessories brand Moooi, founded in the Netherlands by design superstar Marcel Wanders, collaborated with Swedish design studio Front to create a small menagerie of life-sized animal furniture. The Rabbit Lamp is the smallest and easiest to decorate with (there’s also a Horse Lamp and a Pig Table).
