I've Spent Days Searching for Homeware, and These Items Are the Best of the Best
My love of fashion will forever be strong, but I have to admit that in recent years I’ve come to hold interiors in equally high esteem. I've become so obsessed with homeware that my Christmas shopping reflects this shift. Every evening as I scroll through Instagram or the new in pages of some of my favourite brands, my mind keeps drifting to how I can make my space feel special and elevated. So much so that my Christmas wish list this year is now filled with items that will make me love my home even more in 2023.
Just like clothes, homeware can be difficult to buy for someone else, as it is so personal—especially when it comes to bigger and more expensive items. So for this gift guide, I've split it into three categories, with gift ideas for maximalists who love colour and prints, for those who want their homes to be calm and neutral and for those who want to shop from independent brands to make their home feel truly unique. Within each category, I've included both small items such as colourful candles (that can be given to a friend or a relative who is tricky to buy for) and bigger-ticket items, from chairs to tableware.
Keep scrolling to see my edit of 43 homeware gifts that I love for Christmas (and every other day in the year).
For a House Filled With Colours and Prints:
Everything that Vaisselle creates is gorgeous, including this set of four dinner plates.
These fun napkins will take centerstage on any table scape this festive season.
I love to gift (and receive!) beautiful placemats. I'll pull these out year round when I'm hosting dinners or breakfasts.
You can never have too many joyful jugs. This can be used to serve drinks or as a vase.
A beautiful coffee table book is such a luxe gift.
Anissa Kermiche's ceramics are still at the top of our wish list.
The funnest way to serve up Boxing Day lunch...
For a House That Is Minimalist and Elevated:
Use for jewellery, to display candles or for beauty products.
Whether you serve wine or water in them, these glasses are sure to add something special to your table.
I just love this unique salad bowl, which can be used to serve up all and every side dish.
A lamp I would very much love on my bedside table next year.
For a House That Is Unique and Filled With Pieces by Small Brands:
This serving dish is handmade and painted by hand with a marbled finish.
I'll be gifting these to all my friends ahead of the New Year.
I better throw myself a party to get use of all the pretty platters on my list.
Lucy Mahon has so many beautiful prints.
Lovely bedlinen is such a luxurious present, and one that I would personally love to see beneath the tree this year.
