British fashion designer Paul Smith and Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic today unveiled a five-foot "rabbit bin." Whenever a passerby drops rubbish in the bin, the bunny's ears light up. The bunny is part of the Design Museum Super Contemporary Exhibition in Covent Garden.

This sleeping fox pillow was stitched using a technique favored by heroines in Jane Austen novels. I’ve also recently posted about its resurgence in the home décor world. What is it called?

I love the old-time look of the illustrated ship on this new Thomas Paul Pillow ($80). Made from jute, it would look great on a slipcovered sofa in a Summer cottage overlooking the sea. I was inspired to see what other similar seafaring items I could come with, and I discovered some great artwork from Lisa Congdon, as well as some other charming whale and ship accents.

If you're in favor of hares in your house, even outside of the Easter season, then you'll want to check out my favorite bunny home accents. One of my absolute favorite bunny finds is the Moooi Rabbit Lamp ($539). These ridiculous rabbits look as if they're trying to disguise themselves with their matching lampshades.

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, in the case of the order of my Easter-themed roundups, the chicks come first. From cute puffy chicks to strutting roosters, there's a lot of cute, chic chicks to choose from this Spring.

Real deer can be real pests in the garden, but in the home they are near and dear. These animal motifs can melt my heart like Bambi with their regal silhouettes and hipster hunting lodge effects.
Take this Avalisa Deer Stretched Print ($59-159, available in six shades) with its simple lines and cute nature-inspired vibe.

PetSugar will agree that dogs, especially North, can be a girl's best friend. So if you're a fan of furry, four-legged friends, why stop with just a dog bed in your home? Instead, why not populate your pad with some more design-savvy items, like this Avalisa Wool Rug ($310-1360)?

Love dogs but can't have one in your home? Then maybe the Carlos Night Light is the perfect compromise. This small porcelain night light emits a warm glow when it's switched on, and won't wake you up in the middle of the night to be let out of doors.
While it's not my style, I do admire interior designer Miles Redd's use of this leopard print runner on these highly polished stairs. And who can turn up her nose at the playful animal theme that's echoed in the clawfoot console table?
