What is science decor?
Science decor is home decoration built around a scientific idea or instrument: a Newton's cradle on the desk, a storm glass on the windowsill, an hourglass, a globe, a periodic table on the wall, a fossil replica, a levitating plant pot. Objects that look good first and start a conversation second, chosen for people who decorate with ideas rather than trends.

Who is this collection for?
🖼️
For a home with personality
A Newton's cradle on the desk, a poster on the wall, a levitating plant pot on the shelf: science decor is the object guests ask about.
🎁
For a housewarming or a colleague who has everything
Parents, partners and teams after a gift that is neither a candle nor a bottle. Something that moves, glows or defies gravity.
📐
For scientists, engineers and the curious
The ones who want their taste to show: a world globe, a Galton board, a hourglass full of glitter, an anatomy poster.
How to choose science decor
Start from the room: a desk wants motion (cradle, gyroscope, spinner); a shelf wants a specimen or an instrument (geode, Galileo thermometer, globe); a wall wants a poster or an unusual clock; a windowsill wants light (storm glass, radiometer).
| Type | Best for | Examples | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desk objects in motion | Offices, studies | Newton's cradle, gyroscope, kinetic sculptures | £14 to £80 |
| Instruments and specimens | Shelves, mantelpieces | Storm glass, Galileo thermometer, geodes | £20 to £150 |
| Wall decor | Any room | Science posters, maths and gear clocks | £14 to £84 |
| Statement pieces | Living rooms, receptions | Levitating pots, Nixie clocks, XXL salt lamps | £100 to £233 |
Most pieces need no power at all; the lit and levitating ones list their power source on the product page. Posters are supplied unframed in standard sizes.
The science in two lines
Every object in this collection was, or is, a real instrument or demonstration: the storm glass sailed on the Beagle, the Galileo thermometer was built in 17th century Florence, the radiometer settled an argument between physicists in the 1870s. Decor that happens to be a piece of the history of science.

Science Decor: your questions, answered
What is science decor?
Objects designed around a scientific principle or theme: kinetic sculptures, storm glasses, posters of the periodic table, globes, fossils and unusual lighting. Decorative first, educational when someone asks.
Which piece works as a gift for a colleague?
A storm glass, a Galton board or a desk hourglass. Small, elegant, no batteries, and impossible to have already.
Do the posters come framed?
No, the posters are supplied rolled or flat without a frame, in standard sizes so any high street frame fits. Sizes are listed on each page.
Are the levitating objects safe around electronics?
Yes. The magnetic field is strong only within a few centimetres of the base. Keep bank cards and mechanical watches off the base itself, and that is all.
