Because beige is a choice — and not one we make.

If you're the kind of person who treats your home like a canvas (or a cabinet of curiosity), you already know this truth: the best interiors are never forgettable. They're expressive, a little odd, sometimes joyful, sometimes dramatic — and always a reflection of the person living in them.

At Fable & Mirth, we believe homeware should do more than fill a space. It should tell a story, make you smile, and occasionally cause your dinner guests to pause mid-sentence.

So we’ve gathered some of our favourite pieces from our Unusual Home Decor collection — items that don’t just sit quietly on a shelf, but spark joy (and conversation).

1. Exotic Bird Ceramic Jug

Is it a jug? Is it a sculpture? Is it a fever dream from a tropical tea party? Yes. This pastel-plumed ceramic bird pours water (or cocktails) with flair and refuses to sit quietly in the cupboard. Place it centre stage and let it ruffle a few feathers.

2. Gilded Parrot Photo Frame

A photo frame that clearly didn’t get the minimalist memo. Perched with a parrot and dripping in botanical drama, this golden showstopper turns even your most casual snapshot into something museum-worthy. Maximalists, this one’s for you.

3. Embroidered Swan Cushion

Because every sofa deserves a little theatre. This embroidered swan pillow is a perfect way to brighten up a room.  Cute, quirky and slightly surreal — it's soft furnishing with strong opinions.

4. Bird Bath Ceramic Trinket Dish

A tiny bird bath for your even tinier treasures. With scalloped edges, pastel blooms, and a feathered friend keeping watch, this trinket dish turns catching earrings and keys into a ritual of joy. It’s part vanity decor, part springtime vignette — and 100% charming.

5. Winking Face Ceramic Vase

Is it flirting with you? Probably. With one eye playfully closed and a pout to rival any runway model, this vase is a full-on mood. Rosy cheeks, golden nose, dramatic lashes — it doesn’t just hold flowers, it serves looks. Use it as a vase, a centrepiece, or your daily reminder that ordinary is overrated.

Why We Curate the Unusual

Mass-produced is fine. But we’ll leave that to everyone else.

We’re here for the object that gets a double-take. The piece your friend picks up and says, “Where did you find this?”

If you're craving interiors with a little more soul, more story, and more spark — you’ll find them right here.

💡 Styling Tip:

Unusual pieces don’t have to dominate. Use them like punctuation — a pop on a shelf, a playful touch in a guest room, a reminder that your home can have a sense of humour too.
