Bookends Whale Whitewash (pair)

Now, we absolutely love our Bookends Whale Whitewash (pair) because they’re not just bookends - there’s a bit of nostalgia and personality in every set. At 30.5x10x16.5cm, they’re chunky enough to be noticed, but won’t take over anyone’s bookshelf or counter. The MDF gives them a solid feel, and there’s a rustic finish to the whitewash that feels well-worn and inviting. Not overly cute, but definitely fun. Perfect for kids’ rooms or anyone who likes sea-themed interiors – we’ve seen these in all sorts of homes, from coastal-cottage styles to those city apartments with timber floors. But the real standout is how versatile they are for gifting, too. There aren’t many people who wouldn’t smile at these sitting on a shelf holding up some old paperbacks or even just being propped up as decoration in an office reception area. They slot right into kids shops, homewares displays, gift boutiques – anywhere people come looking for something that’s not your run-of-the-mill decor item. And because they come as a pair, you can merchandise them together with other nautical bits and bobs for added impact. We find these always do well around the holidays - families buy them as gifts for hard-to-shop-for relatives who have everything except a playful pair of whale bookends! Plus, with the whitewashed finish, they don’t clash with other colours – neutral enough to be at home in any store display or living room setup.
