Whether it’s vases or plant pots, candlesticks or pretty things to display on your shelves, there should be plenty to delight you here.
Textured Standing PlantersCox & CoxEvery room should have something metallic to bounce the light around in dark corners and add a sense of luxury to the space. These are made from aluminium.
Chara Hammered BottlenkukuMade from clear glass and antique brass, these will look pretty on a shelf in a group, even if there’s nothing in them. Styling tip: vary heights and sizes and stick to odd numbers for best effect.
Metal watering can H&M HOMEYou can’t move for articles telling you how important house plants are to your wellbeing these days. But it’s very hard to find a pretty watering can that won’t break the bank. Here you are. Comes in black, gold or silver. Costs 25 quid.
Pleat VaseLSAFluted glass is turning up everywhere – and this hand-blown vase is very lovely. The dark grey will always look good with simple green stems and will hide any murky water.
Mr & Mrs Jar with loopSue PrykeA really useful jar that will work in a bathroom for re-usable cotton pads, or in the kitchen for odds and ends or sundries.
Velvet Draught Excluder Graham & GreenAs the resident of a draughty old Victorian house, these are going straight on my wishlist. The only question is: which colour? They are made from velvet on top and linen on the base with a natural handle to drag them into place.
Retro Glass VasesGraham & GreenThese vases are taller than you might think - the biggest is 40cm - and they are all the better for that. I point this out because I am forever being suprised by the size of things when they turn up (despite measuring) and these are exactly the sorts of items that you might expect to be small. The point being that they are large enough to stand singlely, although the full set is lovely.
Ceramic Circle VaseRose & GreyGoodbye winter - it’s time to bring in colourful flowers and foliage and make a statement. If you don’t do flowers, then an arrangement of sculptural branches looks equally good. This works just as well without anything in it, too.
Botanicals Flower Bouquet by LegoLegoIf you’ve completed all the jigsaws and are wanting to try out some more calming arts and crafts, Lego has a fabulous Botanicals 3D range. The intricate set of flowers includes elements made from plant-based plastic, produced using sustainably sourced sugar cane. A great activity to get the whole family involved - and away from screens - you can all get creating some everlasting flowers for the table. These are VERY popular at the moment so get your hands on them while you can (other sellers may have if this links shows OOS).
Twisted Beeswax CandlesEtsyThese beeswax candles are handmade in Devon and come in a variety of colours costing £6 for two. Suddenly traditional cyclindrical candles look all sorts of boring and the colours will bring a splash of joy to your table. Would make a great present too - with or without a candlestick.
