Damien Hirst is the big exhibition of the summer with his retrospective at Tate Modern. Bringing together the artist’s key works from the last 20 years, this is the first substantial survey of his work in a British institution. The posters for the exhibition are covered in his butterflies and the first exhibit you come to is that diamand encrusted skull in the Turbine Hall.

So, in honour of our Damien, Mad About The House brings you a selection of interiors products that pay homage to two of his most famous motifs.
