Modern lace is stepping out of the wardrobe and into the home. Once associated with vintage dressing tables and delicate detailing, lace is being reimagined through a sharper, more contemporary lens - think sheer layers, laser-cut textures and intricate openwork that adds softness without feeling overly decorative. Across interiors, we’re seeing lace-inspired finishes appear in everything from perforated lighting and mesh cabinetry to embroidered linens and scalloped ceramics, bringing a sense of tactility and romance to modern spaces. It’s part of a wider shift towards interiors that feel expressive and personal, balancing clean silhouettes with handcrafted detail and a touch of nostalgia.

A classic colour pairing that harmonises in all the right ways, chocolate and duck egg are understated by design. A rich, velvety brown meets a soft, chalky blue-green - earthy warmth against cool calm.
Chocolate brings depth and grounding, while duck egg brings quiet freshness and a touch of the unexpected. Together, they complement each other effortlessly, creating a look that feels timeless, considered, and quietly confident.

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated Monday round-up of what we’re loving right now. From our favourite pieces on Glassette to a recipe, a watch, a read, a place to visit, a restaurant, and a gift worth bookmarking.
Each week, every member of the Glassette team shares their current favourites, whether that’s new arrivals, pieces we’ve spotted trending, or timeless finds we can’t stop thinking about. Think of it as a weekly dose of joy, discovery, and design inspiration, handpicked by the Glassette team.

Nice Things This Week

For this Best of Lighting edit, we’re focusing on pieces that do more than just illuminate, they set the mood. Think soft, warm glows balanced with cleaner, clearer light: lighting that feels comforting. 
The best designs strike that sweet spot between atmosphere and function. Together, they create spaces that feel considered, calm, and quietly uplifting. From sculptural pendants to understated table lamps, each piece has been chosen for its ability to elevate a room without overpowering it.

Best of Lighting

The secret isn’t more lighting, it’s softer lighting, placed with intention, and switched on before the evening goes grey. Boutique hotels have a particular kind of magic. You walk in and everything feels calm. The sofa looks inviting. The corners are warm. Nobody is being blasted by a ceiling light. Even the air seems better lit. And then you get home and your living room is… fine. Technically. But it doesn’t have that low, flattering glow that makes you want to order olives and speak quietly. It’s either dim and a bit sad, or bright in a way that makes you feel like you should be cleaning. The good news is you don’t need to redesign your living room to get that boutique hotel feeling. You just need to borrow their lighting rules - the ones they’ve been quietly perfecting for years.

Light Like a Hotel

Granny Core is having a moment - and it ties directly into Pinterest’s 2026 trend, Laced Up. A softer, sweeter, slightly nostalgic turn to interiors. Think ruffled lampshades, scalloped edges, embroidery, floral wallpaper and patchwork blankets that look like they’ve been collected over time.
Pinterest is calling it: comfort is cool again, and the look is all about layering - pattern on pattern, texture on texture. It’s cosy, and quietly confident.

When the sun clocks off at 4pm, your home needs a lighting plan and we’ve got just what you need! Winter is when your home starts telling on itself. That chair you love? Suddenly too dark to read in. Your kitchen? Weirdly clinical. Your living room? Technically fine, but somehow not somewhere you want to be. And then there’s the nightly ritual: you finish the last email, it’s pitch-black outside, and you switch on the ceiling light like you’re interrogating yourself. Welcome to the 4pm problem - when winter exposes lighting that was designed for seeing, not living. The fix isn’t complicated. It’s just… softer, warmer, and a little more layered than you think.

Winter Lighting Guide

Our weekly Nice Things Edit is a curated collection of the pieces we’re currently loving every Monday.

It’s a moment for us to share what’s inspiring us, what we’re coveting, and what we think deserves a little extra spotlight.

Whether it’s for a friend, a loved one, or yourself, these gifts celebrate the art of slowing down and finding comfort in the everyday.

Gifting For Homebodies

As the evenings grow darker and the clocks get ready to go back, it’s the perfect moment to lean into the warmth of ambient lighting. Soft, layered light can completely transform a space - casting a gentle glow that soothes and softens as daylight fades. Think the golden hue of table lamps, the calm flicker of candlelight, or sculptural pieces that bring both form and function. As we settle into slower evenings, let lighting set the mood - creating pockets of warmth, comfort, and quiet radiance throughout your home.

Ambient Lighting Edit

This month’s Colour Pairing brings together Olive & Chocolate – a grounded earthy green with earthy depth, and a rich, chocolate brown. Olive speaks of nature’s resilience, organic and enduring, while Chocolate brings warmth, indulgence and quiet sophistication. Together, they create a harmony that feels both rooted and refined. Think natural textures, soft leathers, and deep woven fabrics that invite touch and comfort. Whether in interiors, fashion, or everyday accents, this pairing offers balance – earthy calm with a decadent edge, grounding yet deeply inviting.

Stripes in the home are timeless - never trend-driven, always versatile. Whether bold and graphic or soft and subtle, they bring balance, and personality into any space. From crisp monochrome lines that add structure to colourful clashes that spark joy, stripes work beautifully across cushions, rugs, bedding, and tabletop accents. A classic Breton stripe can feel calm, while playful diagonal or oversized stripes create striking focal points. We’ve curated our favourite stripe-inspired homeware pieces to show how this enduring pattern can refresh every corner, adding character and joy to your interiors.
