Francesca Kaye Planter Anthropologie

The prettiest planter I ever did see. I love the sculptural nature of the flowers stuck on the side and this will look just as pretty empty on a shelf as filled with seasonal plants. It’s crying out to be displayed on an open pantry shelf.
Old Havana Baking Dish Anthropologie

The right tableware can elevate the humblest of dishes and this is perfect for bringing a little style to a Monday night Shepherd’s pie. It’s a huge collection in either this mint green or blue and there are canisters, pie dishes and bowls in the range.
Meriah Gauze Throw Blanket Anthropologie

There’s something so joyful about this blanket that shouts about summer even in the depths of winter. The Nordic nations change their curtains and cushions with the seasons and there’s no reason why we can’t do that here. That said if I had a large enough wall I would be tempted to hang it as a decoration.
Private Single Lined Pre-Washed Linen Curtain with Eyelets La Redoute

You’ll never go wrong with a washed lien curtain panel. If you don’t like the eyelet fixing and you have a sewing machine you can cut the top off and sew on some ruffle tapes so turn them into a more traditional curtain. You can also add blackout or thermal lining and it will be much cheaper than going bespoke. If a single width feels mean for the size of your window then buy four singles (or two pairs) and double up to create extra fullness. La Redoute also does velvet ones.
Deutzia Striped Reversible Linen Pillowcase La Redoute

Stripes always look good on bedding and this reversible pillowcase allows you to create that slightly mismatched look simply by flipping one side or the other. Also if you have a sleeping partner who hates cushions on beds then buy pretty pillowcases that look as good as cushions but you don’t have to throw them off at night.
Urku candlestick crackle lamp Nkuku

They are sold separately but I love a mismatched pair so if that’s your vibe buy one of each. You can then have the same lampshades (I would) or have different but toning ones. As we’re nodding to trends as we go along then buy a pair of plain cream paper shades and use up leftover tester pots by painting patterns on them à la Charleston House.
Hem Bedside Table in Blush John Lewis

Finding good bedside tables is one of the great mysteries of life. I tend to go vintage to bring in character and patina to a room that tends to be full of softness. But when you find a good contemporary version you need to strike as soon as you can. This is that - £129 with a fashionable scallop and lots of storage. It’s made from rubberwood and MDF which means you can paint it if you change your décor. Also comes in cream.
Gleaming Primrose Vanity Tray Anthropologie

I’m not sure that many of us having dressing tables any more – partly for space reasons and perhaps, partly for time. We are perhaps more likely to stand at the bathroom mirror than sit down at a table carefully applying lipstick and powder. But if you do have a dressing table this would be so pretty. Alternatively if you have a desk in the bedroom then removing it for the laptop during the day and returning it at night will add to the changeover between work and home that many lost when their commute ended. Also put it in the sitting room with drinks on. A gorgeous present that will last forever.
Set Of 2 Leopard Print Candles Rockett St George

There’s no doubt that leopard print has been everywhere for a couple of years now and if you feel it’s too much of a cliché on clothes and homewares then the key is look for it in unexpected places. These candles are that. So you can stop there. Or you can add a candlestick. Or you can give a single candle and the promise (better the proof of booking) of a dinner out at some point during miserable January. This two stage present works well for me as my husband has a January birthday and I have to be careful not to use up all my inspiration the month before.
SET OF SIX PEONY GLASSES Graham & Green

After the annual wisteria hysteria on Instagram comes #peonyseason as these gorgeous, but short-lived flowers take over everyone’s feed. So make it last longer with this very pretty set of coloured glasses. They’re made from blown glass but are dishwasher safe and will last far longer than the real thing. Unless, of course, you drop them.
