Shopping for homeware always feels like a fun activity, don't you think? Even if it's just window shopping, it's nice to daydream about doing up the living room or making tweaks here and there. Have you heard of the 10% better method?

So, with that in mind, if you fancy having a little peruse at some of our new in homeware, read on...

Fun & colourful kitchen pieces

The joy of colour and bold prints is celebrated by Kate Rhees and her wonderful designs. The pear tray was so popular, we had to reorder some pretty quickly, so we made sure to grab some other lovely bits too. Now we've got a couple of gorgeous tea towels and an adorable teacup tin. Lizzie recently had it as her monthly favourite because she thought it was so cute. It would make a great gift for tea lovers if filled with their favourite tea and some biscuits.

Nice jugs!

If  you prefer a more contemporary, understated style then the new jugs and mugs from Musango might just be right up your street. Brightly coloured but still simple and elegant in design, these pieces are the perfect way of adding splash of colour to your home in a subtle way that matches any space.

Be inspired by books

Sometimes when you don't know where to start with giving your home a spruce up, the best thing to do is have a flick through some inspiration. For example, now that we're into summer it's nice to give the garden a refresh, and the new Gardens for the Soul book is a beautiful one.
