What do you think of unusual design products? Is it a unique touch to interior or is it too much?

Too much

I think unusual designs are fabulous when used in moderation. Especially when used against a plain backdrop as in your images.

Use as a focal point in a room to give it a quirky personality.

Some unusual design products can be great but sadly a lot of the design projects lately, especially on the Interior Design programs on tv have been done to death

E.g home made lamps with large exposed bulbs, modern copies of animal head trophies on walls etc

Less is best with a few nice designer touches

I agree with Rennew Traditional Building Materials - it's not a question of what's 'trending' or 'passé', but of really paying attention to the existing building and marrying that with the sensibility of the future inhabitant. Some spaces suit the industrial treatment, some don't, and no-one should be forced to be fashionable. I can't help thinking of the old Bauhaus principle of 'truth to materials' though. If you find yourself faking an 'authentically exposed' surface, then something isn't quite clicking in your analysis of what's in front of your nose. Not that I wasn't once taken in by an entirely ersatz 'industrial' café in Paris once, which was not, as I'd supposed, a converted butchers! The convincingly-aged metro tiles were to die for...

An ensuite to the master bedroom is a great asset in a family home, reducing the morning stampede to the family bathroom. It also helps create that sense of luxury, adult space. A sanctuary away from the rest of the family.

With 5 furry idiots a fringe on anything would count a half life of nanoseconds in our house. So, no, not something I would consider. Ever.

When used sparingly quirky design can add personality to your room/home especially when cost is important. If you give yourself a blank canvas to work with clever use of colour and design offers much needed focus and allows for low cost change options ie replace a lamp rather than refurbish an entire room.

Quirky objects like the sheep/coasters sprinkled around can add humour and personality to a house and turn it into a home. I love them, especially if they make you smile too.
