Independent UK design house FabFunky reveals Glorious Plumes collection

Independent wall art and home accessories brand FabFunky, founded by artist Kelly Stevens-McLaughlan, has unveiled a new homeware collection entitled Glorious Plumes.

FabFunky's Glorious Plumes Collection features a fabulously plumed bird set amongst a colourful botanical scene. Look more closely and you will find other fantastical creatures inhabit this realm, hidden away in between the brightly coloured flowers and leaves.

Encompassing cushions and lampshades, the new collection (which is available in six different colours and six different designs) features opulently plumed birds standing proud among a burst of beautifully coloured botanicals. Hidden among the opulent colours and foliage are fantastical creatures when one examines the designs closely.

The collection is all entirely handmade in England, available in six different colours and six different designs, all of which are created by Kelly who admitted there is nothing shy and retiring about the Glorious Plumes collection. 

"It is loud and bold in the best way possible, commanding attention and taking centre stage," she said. “They are perfect for those who wish to give their home a huge injection of colour and character.”

The cushions (which come in two sizes: approx. 46 x 46 cm and 61 x 61 cm) feature designs printed onto both sides of a linen/cotton blend to give a crisp image to showcase every detail of the original artwork.  They are fitted with discreet zip fasteners for easy access and finished with coordinated piping.

As for the lampshades, the original designs are also printed onto a linen/cotton blend fabric that crisply shows off the quirky details of the original artwork.  They come in various sizes for either a lampshade for lamp bases or a pendant shade for ceiling lamps. 

The lampshades come in four sizes, from Small  of approx. 20x18cm to Extra Large of approx. 45x25cm.







Based in rural Devon in the south west of the UK, Kelly Stevens-McLaughlan mainly works digitally, creating images straight onto the computer screen, and enjoy working in a few different styles.

Finding inspiration from around her, Kelly often takes pictures and type ideas onto her phone.  She's also been a collector of old books and illustrations and naturally progressed to combine her passion with her artwork. She adores using forgotten old books and bringing them back to life by putting images onto them, and also enjoys taking old illustrations and repurposing them digitally to create new images.

"I’m a lover of the absurd and whimsical which I think comes across in my artworks, and of course I’m a huge animal lover, so many of my artworks feature animals in absurd situations," said Kelly.
