Time for change
These glasses from The Change Initiative are green in more ways than one. They are produced by the Green Glass Company, which recycles everyday objects such as juice bottles, broken glass and bottle tops into quirky wine glasses, tumblers and even jewellery.
Prices start at Dh60, The Change Initiative store, Al Barsha 1, Dubai

The swing of things
We love this handpainted cushion from Zara Home, which is in stores now. With its girly graphic and baby blue floral patterning, this cutesy accessory will soften any space, but would look particularly fetching in a child's room.

New from Missoni
The 2012 Missoni Home collection has arrived at Harvey Nichols Dubai. Expect plenty of the brand's signature prints and dramatic colourways, as well as vivid new hues, faded effects and surreal, kaleidoscopic graphics. Start small with this vibrant bath mat.

Animal magic
Dwinguler's reversible playmats are safe, easy to clean and non-toxic. They are made from phthalate-free resin foam so are soft and durable, and come in a range of five different designs. A cast of bright, cheery animals makes Zoo our favourite.
