Rattan-drawer bedside table H&M

I quite like the discipline of a single drawer and, if you had a pair I think they could work well in a sitting room either at either end of a sofa or next to each other as a sort of disconnected single unit. This one also comes in natural wood colour as well as black but be aware that it’s 60 per cent MDF and 30 per cent wood – which is how you get to the price of £99.
Round Roddy ip44 flush ceiling light Pooky

Perfect for those with low ceilings who don’t want the infamous (and ubiquitous) downlights. This is also IP44 rated which means you can put it in the bathroom as well and – that other forgotten place where pendant lights can be tricky – halls, stairs and landings. It’s a bit Deco inspired but that doesn’t mean you couldn’t put it in any period or place.
45cm straight empire shade Pooky

Hand-painted shades are set to be all the rage this year and Pooky has a great selection if you’re not in the market for a spot of DIY. This is just one example but there are dozens of sizes, colours and patterns on the site. It’s part of the Bloomsbury revival for those want reassurance that it’s not a passing made-up fad.
Wilma table lamp Pooky

You’ll never go wrong with a turned wooden lamp base and this – at 23cm tall – is a classic of the genre. Choose your own shade to suit the room you plan to use it in and, if you get bored, you can paint the base and change the shade. A pair on either side of the bed would look great but the dark wood version would sit equally well downstair as well.
Hazelette pendant Pooky

Great to bring a bit of softness to a kitchen these bubble glass lamps also come in a wall version and you choose between sliver and brass arms and amber or pink shades. If you pick the ceiling version the cable is a pleasing twisted silver fabric – details count and Pooky is good at them.
Barlow Glass soap dish Soho Home

Now that we’re all moving towards soap and shampoo bars we need to up our soap dish game as well. This is a lovely one made from ribbed coloured glass and has a vintage 70s feel to it. There is a matching toothbrush holder should you so wish but I fancy one of these for the downstairs loo.
Ernest rechargeable table lamp Pooky

Rechargeable lamps are having a bit of a moment and while it’s too cold to think of dinner in the garden this is the kind of place they are perfect as candles will blow out and burn down. Also good for some more ambient lighting in the kitchen if you have friends round and your usual arrangement is a bit “task”.
Stork wall fitting Pooky

I love a long arm wall light – great at either end of the sofa where they can be tucked away or pulled out for close work, pretty in kitchens where they make a change from the spot light and can be extended to reach out over cupboards and shelves and also by beds and over desks. Add a glass shade, keep the bulb naked or use a pretty paper lampshade depending on where you want to use it, this is a really versatile lamp. Also I can tell you that a few years ago (when I was looking) they were really hard to find so I’m tempted to say buy yourself a couple now before they disappear again in the end I made do with something else but I would prefer these.
Moss green floral block printed tea towel Rockett St George

One of the easiest and most affordable ways to bring colour and pattern into a kitchen is by tea towels. They can work really well in frames as well and if this was in a thinner fabric I’d definitely wear it as a scarf. The same pattern is also on a cushion too though if you fancy something a bit less utilitarian and if you want another really pretty tea towel to make set then this pink and green one is gorgeous.
Black Iron Bathroom Mirror With Shelf Rockett St George

No-one’s bathroom is ever big enough – the more space the more you fill it – but there’s no denying that a shelf under the mirror can be useful for all those things you feel for on a daily (or twice daily) basis. Black goes with both chrome and brass so it doesn’t matter what colour your taps are this will work.
