Midcentury-style birdhouses / KoolBird

If you can’t afford a midcentury gem, you can always invest in one for your feathered friends, courtesy of these midcentury-style birdhouses by KoolBird. The only downside here is (perhaps with the exception of price) is deciding which one to opt for. There are 10 designs in the range.

All are handmade (which perhaps accounts for the price), all are eco-friendly, made from a variety of tropical hardwoods sourced from offcuts via tropical hardwood floor manufacturers and all are available to buy online in limited numbers.

Prices start at around £89 — via Retro To Go
