For some of us the prospect of working from anywhere other than your kitchen table is looking unlikely. Or perhaps you’ve already gone back to your workplace and you're now regarding your home as a place of much-needed sanctuary. Either way, chances are you may be tired of looking at the same old objects on your desk/bedside table/chest of drawers.
It's hardly a surprise that we've all become something of an expert when it comes to interiors lately. After all, we have spent the past few weeks transforming living rooms into mini cinemas and kitchen tables into meeting rooms. If you're really paying attention, however, you may have noticed that there's a whole new hoard of homeware on the market that won't cost the Earth.
Look to your favourite fashion retailers for interior buys as good as their clothing collections. Zara’s Timeless collection compromises of beautiful kitchen accessories to linens and swoon-worthy lamp bases. Over at H&M, it's just launched outdoor collection is perfect for dressing spaces big or small with striped cushions and glass tea lanterns – both of which would look lovely dotted through your trees or strung up with wire for DIY string lights.
Arket’s good mood inducing blankets or Edition94’s twisty pastel candles,starting at £6.50, are also certain to spark joy.
