11 affordable bits to buy on our commerce editor's wishlist this week
The House & Garden wishlist is your indispensable guide to the best new homewares, lifestyle picks, collaborations and high street arrivals to shop now.
Think of the details at home that really brighten your day; buying brand new hand soap and thrilling with joy at how it smartens up the sink, gazing upon a well framed print, setting the table for dinner using your smartest tablecloth. They're all small things that make a big difference to how much you enjoy being at home–but they don't have to cost a lot of money.
We believe in mixing high/low in our homes and making the most of a brilliant find when the opportunity presents itself. An £150 hand painted lacquered tray can sit atop a joyfully inexpensive ottoman, a £5 catch-all for detritus on your desk can live alongside an antique Anglepoise lamp. What matters is not the cost, but the value to you. The things we love most can often be found from an accessible mix of high street and small makers.
From mood-lifting homeware to absolute staples, here's what House & Garden's editors are lusting after this week.
The charming pendant
Toast might not be the first shop that springs to mind when you think about lighting, but this pendant light shade is here to change that. It makes for an easy and accessible kitchen or bathroom upgrade; simply slip it over your existing light fitting and voilà!
The glamorous glass
Good on a bar, twinkling in low level light, but also great on a summer's table–and no one would ever suspect they were from high street favourite Marks and Spencer.
The twisted table
Texture is a really important way to add flair to a space, especially when it draws from a more neutral colour palette. If everything is looking a little too swanky and new in a room, try adding this antique table.
Handy oven gloves
Anywhere you can add pretty textiles into a kitchen will help make the space feel much more personal.
Sweet shop lighting
Take yourself to the candy shop with this beautiful humbug light from Oka.
Something fishy
Zara Home's current ceramic collection is full of unusual items that look like they could have been picked up from a European flea market.
Dreaming of summer
If that doesn't give you your fishy fix, why not look to Anut Cairo's latest collection for some charming beach towels. We think they'd look brilliant in a colour packed bijou bathroom, too.
Best of the blankets
Another excellent piece from Zara's new in section, this striped linen blanket is the perfect complement to all white bedding.
Go for gothic
Looking for something to spruce up the wall above your mantlepiece? Or focal point for your hallway? May we suggest this House of Hackney mirror?
The mega magazine rack
Having a specified place to store papers and magazines can really elevate a once-cluttered space. This rack from Soho Home is well worth the purchase.
Sleek and shiny
Despite being less accessible than the rest of the list, we think this side table is a good investment. It's perfect for any spaces feeling a little lack lustre.
The rug of note
Newly launched, Nordic Knots flatweave collection is timeless at contemporary.
