Printed Bee Pattern Tapered Door Stop with Handle - Blue

This printed bee door stop brings a little garden cheer to the foot of any door. Rows of bees fly across a teal blue ground, each with pale outspread wings and a striped body in black, amber and cream, and the pattern carries on round every side and over the top, so it looks good from any angle. Its tapered shape is broad at the base and narrows towards the top, where a loop handle sits ready to lift it. It stands 22cm tall and measures 15cm across and 15cm deep.

A door stop earns its keep in the busy parts of the home: holding the sitting room door open on a warm afternoon, keeping a bedroom door from swinging shut in a breeze, or propping the kitchen door wide while the house airs. With a base 15cm across, it tucks in neatly against the door without taking over the floor, and at 22cm tall it is easy to see as you walk through. The teal blue sits happily alongside greys, creams, natural wood and painted country kitchen cupboards, while the bees bring a cheerful touch of the garden indoors all year round. It works just as well in a hallway, a home office or a conservatory doorway.

The loop handle at the top lets you pick it up with one hand and carry it from door to door, so it can follow you round the house as the day goes on. The print runs over the whole piece, top included, for a neat, finished look wherever it sits. As general good practice, a light brush with a soft dry cloth now and then keeps the colours looking fresh. We like it by the back door for a cosy country feel, beside a pair of wellies and a basket of logs, or brightening a plain hallway next to a stack of gardening books.
