Objects of Lust: New From Clarissa Hulse

British textile designer Clarissa Hulse just unveiled her 2008 home collection -- and as usual, I want it all.

The collection of handprinted silk lighting, pillows, and throws includes three color palettes, all equally lovely. Above: Urban Jungle: High-contrast black and ivory with pops of intense, almost neon color.

Tide: Soothing sea blues, greens, and grays.

Dune: Earth tones and subtle metallics that invoke the desert.

Prices start at 65 pounds sterling ($130) for drum lampshades and go up to 425 pounds ($850) for handprinted silk throws -- which kind of sucks if you're paying with anything other than pounds or euros.

But Hulse's new designs are so pretty that I couldn't help sharing them here. Plus, we can always hold out hope that some of these items will eventually make their way into the Clarissa Hulse Saleshop, where older offerings can be nabbed for up to 75 percent off.

Cool Stuff: Clarissa Hulse Textiles

When we were in London this spring, I fell in love with textile designer Clarissa Hulse's dreamy products, which I spotted in chic U.K. home-decor shops like Heals and Aria.

Hulse makes gorgeous, ethereal lampshades, pillows, throws, wallpaper, and notebooks featuring delicate botanical silhouettes screen- or hand-printed onto colorful silk or linen backgrounds.

Granted, Hulse's designs are not cheap -- especially when you factor in the pounds-to-dollars exchange rate and overseas shipping. (Prices start at 15 pounds sterling -- roughly $30 -- for notebooks and go up to 395 pounds -- $790 -- for throws.) But they would literally make the room, so I think they're worthy of the splurge.

If your budget is tight (and whose isn't?), don't miss the Clarissa Hulse Sale Shop, with last season's stock discounted up to 75 percent. Sale pillows start at 17 pounds ($34); lampshades at 39 pounds ($78); and throws at 99 pounds ($198).

Some of the Clarissa Hulse designs I'm drooling over:

Top: Judas Tree/Sea Holly Reversible Cushion, 39 pounds ($78); middle: Dock Leaf Cushion, 69 pounds ($138); bottom: Twig & Anise Demi-Patchwork Cushion, 59 pounds ($118)

Top left: Judas Tree Shade, 65 pounds ($130); top right: Fireweed Shade, 89 pounds ($178); bottom left: Patchwork Shade, 199 pounds ($398); bottom right: Willow Herb Shade, 95 pounds ($190)

Above: Wingnut Tree Padded Throw, 215 pounds ($430)
