Q I’m looking for a small Victorian-style vanity unit for our downstairs cloakroom toilet. The toilet has an original old-fashioned pull chain WC, so this would be in keeping and would also give me a bit of extra storage space.

A Interior designer Doreen Smith says, The Bellis collection of vanity furniture available from Kallista (www.kallista.com) will give you the look you are after and is ideal for smaller spaces. The collection offers good storage and combines modern technology with a traditional aesthetic. The unit is just 26” wide and comes in two distressed wood finishes – antique French white or chestnut – and is offered with a honed marble top surface, which comes in either White or Bleu de Chine

Q I am decorating my animal-mad young son’s room and am looking for accessories to fit the animal theme. It is quite a bright room already, so any colour would work fine.

A Vertbaudet has a couple of lovely bear-themed accessories that should fit any colour scheme.The faux fur rug in the shape of a bear with embroidered paw prints is great fun (£59), while a lampshade features printed polar bear motifs (£35) and a mirror has a polar bear appliqué at the base and paw prints up the side (£25).
