Fashion stylist and consultant Sarah Corbett-Winder has made her name on good taste and a keen eye for charming pieces. Her house, which was featured in House & Garden in 2022, has been crafted with the same imagination. Now, she turns her hand to a new shopping column where each month she'll pick the best mood-boosting homeware to buy.
A new piece of art is sure to brighten up a bare wall, but it's a real investment. For something less strenuous on the purse strings, changing the cushions on your bed or sofa will freshen things up.
Unsure what to do with that great expanse of empty table? Add a centrepiece. This woven hen basket would make a charming home for eggs, if in the kitchen, or napkins in the middle of a dining table. For something a little more serious, Henry Holland's serving bowl would make a great fruit bowl.
Every house could do with more storage, and these colourful bobbin pieces are just the ticket. They'd brighten up any dark corner and provide a cheerful spot for books, bits and bobs.
The trend for natural materials won't be going away for a very long time, and these pieces lean into it in a sophisticated way. This rattan chair could be smartened up with a patterned cushion, or kept simple with a white linen one.
That ever-lacking storage issue is back, and if you don't have room for another side table, why not invest in a few woven baskets. They can be used for laundry, or general ‘stuff’, and thrown into the back of the cupboard when not in use.
Sometimes a room needs an overhaul, but if you haven't the budget for a full renovation, why not purchase one or two impactful pieces? We particularly like this bright blue rug, which will add a pop of colour underfoot.
Then again, the little things can also make a big impact. Why not spruce up a few kitchen corner, or tables, with these lovely items.
Flowers are an absolute must have throughout the spring and summer. A smart vase or planter will make them look their very best.
What could be more fun than a few playful ceramics? Especially when placed on a summer table full of food.
