With an increased interest in handmade home accessories, this season we are seeing a lot more of this look in ceramics. Of course we know that some will not be handmade, but we are able to get the look, with uneven edges, organic shapes and engraving.

We are seeing subtle textures embossed onto vases and pots, engraved lines and even rattan decorated.

Colours are very nuetral, with stone, white, terracotta and black. Mix different styles and colours together for a curated look, and of course get your pops of colour this Spring with flowers and greenery.

We spotted this very cool floor lamp at next.co.uk and what’s better is it’s a very reasonable price. Next may not always be the first choice of store to go too for modern homeware, but it has upped its game and there is loads to choose from.

This lamp is perfect for a living room as a reading light or just to give some ambience to a room. It comes in black or brass finish and what’s great for the price is the LED filament bulb is included.
