The smash BBC collection Sherlock is excellent television, and the richly detailed collection design is really a standout too, with its clever modern take in the Victorian London of the first Sherlock Holmes tales. Give your personal space exactly the same trendy mixture of old and brand new with attachments that would be right at home at 221B Baker Street. — Lori from automatism
Zoffany
Nureyev Wallpaper
This richly patterned background from Zoffany’s Nureyev collection could be understood in Holmes and Watson’s living room, and it really sets the tone for the room. The chocolate version was utilized, but it’s offered in three other colorways too.

Deer Skull Fine Art Photography Printing by Jenna Zee – $30
Skulls are a certain decor motif in the main lounge of Sherlock and John’s apartment. There is a human skull on the mantel, a skull print close to the sofa and a bison skull sporting earphones. This delicately beautiful print of a discovered feminine deer skull by Jenna Zee on Etsy provides a softer approach, with its focus on the sculptural qualities of its subject matter.

1870 Gorgeous Antique Victorian Bat Engraving by Vintage Treasure Shop
Sherlock and John may like to decorate their lounge with a shadow box featuring a filled bat and beetles. When it comes to adding a gothic touch, I much prefer this delicate, first 1870 classic bat engraving by French naturalist Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte de Buffon.
IKEA
VASEN Vase – $1.99
Occasionally the landlady Mrs. Hudson have to have a bit of influence on the decor at 221B Baker Street — a vase of flowers on the lounge coffee table is certainly her idea.

This is the sort of clock I could imagine finding in the hallway of 221B Baker Street — a modern black clock styled like a Victorian pocket view. It’s such a wonderful mixture of old and new.

Clue, Parker Brothers Vintage Game Collection – $28.49
On the show, you can see the game board for Cluedo, the British version of Clue, impaled with a knife over the mantel.

This classic version comes in a wood box and would make a fantastic addition to family game night.
