Bring a Blue Whale Home
I love finding intriguing whale art and ideas for the home. So often cetacean inspired design feels either overly cute and cartoonish, or oddly unappealing. Here we’ve rounded up some interesting ideas for design inspired by the giant Blue Whale.
The Blue Whale decals (above) have a nice modern graphic feel as they glide elegantly through a room. Created by Sissy Little, these are $64 for...
