We don’t need a feast to inspire our homeware choices – but it might just be the perfect excuse. From pretty pink flutes to hand-painted hearts on a dinner service, these practical pieces of homeware turn up the charm.
Tablecloth by Summerill & Bishop
British homeware and fabrics brand Summerill & Bishop introduced a tablecloth collection designed in collaboration with Evie Henderson and The Yellow World, featuring their signature S&B heart emblem, a large-scale graphic motif in a tetrad of colours. The linen tablecloth can be complemented with the set of six napkins in the same design.
Vintage platters from Cabana
Among the many charming pieces in Cabana’s eclectic vintage online shop is this trio of Chinese famille rose octagonal platters, dating back to the 18th century Qianlong Period, with delicate gilded rims and hand-painted floral motifs in polychrome enamels.
Pink flutes by Anthropologie
These elongated flutes in pale pink, designed by AnthroLiving for Anthropologie, bring a touch of unexpected colour to a classic dinner service. Available as a set of four, each flute is made from borosilicate glass which allows for excellent transparency.
Rhone range by Le Creuset
French cookware brand Le Creuset knows how to bring a touch of magic to the kitchen, and the latest colour to join its eclectic range, a deep burgundy shade called Rhone, does just that. From a stoneware cafetière to the classic casserole dishes, ramekins, a pepper mill and more, it’s an enduring colour choice.
The Valentine's Collection by Villa Bologna Pottery
Hand-painted red hearts add a delightful touch to this range of white ceramic tableware by Villa Bologna Pottery. The collection includes plates, bowls, mugs and egg cups, as well as some cute and quirky pieces, such as an oval soap dish featuring a hand-painted lady soaking in a tub, aptly called Valentina.
Apple teapot by Kate Spade
Kate Spade New York’s apple-shaped stoneware teapot is practical and decorative in equal measure. The bright red glaze brings a touch of whimsy to any kitchen, topped with a gold stem and leaf and finished with an elegant slim handle.
