Kalinko is an impact-led homeware brand from Burma. Its founder, Sophie Garnier, moved to Burma in 2015 and launched Kalinko to connect Burma’s skilled artisans to those seeking beautiful, lovingly handcrafted homeware. Few of their makers have access to international markets and most struggle to sell their products locally. The brand is closing the gap between average income and the real living wage for these craftspeople. The collection ranges from recycled hand-blown glassware to rattan accessories, reclaimed teak furniture and hammered brass tableware. Combining time-honoured craft with contemporary design, Kalinko’s accessories and furniture are your next favourite homeware find.

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.

The Devil Wears Prada 2 is finally here, and we're taking the OG characters and imagining the homes they'd live in. So, which one are you?

Devil Wears Prada Characters As Interiors

Bathing, it turns out, has never really been about hygiene. We sat down with Sharmadean Reid, founder of fragrance and bathing brand 39BC, to explore the quiet resurgence of bath culture - and why stepping into hot water feels increasingly radical. She traces the ritual roots of bathing from Roman thermae to Japanese onsen, reflects on the childhood memory that sparked 39BC's founding idea, and makes a compelling case for why the bath is one of the last spaces untouched by optimisation culture. Plus: the seasonal scents she reaches for, the contemporary bathhouse she'd build, and her vision for what bathing, at its best, can actually give you back.

Bathing Is Back

Thoughtful gifts for new arrivals - beautiful, practical, and designed to be loved for years. From a Cushy Puff pregnancy pillow to support the days before birth, to a children’s print by Yaya Studios or Surprise Radish for the nursery.

Spend five minutes with chef Santiago Lastra, the force behind London’s KOL, where Mexican cooking is filtered through a fiercely personal, produce-led lens. We catch him mid-service, deep in rhubarb season, talking flavour as the ultimate non-negotiable and food as an act of celebration. From spicy, fresh plates designed to make you order another round, to the quiet power of teamwork in the kitchen, Santiago reflects on patience, joy, and why the best meals are colourful, generous, and made to be shared.

Nice Things This Week

Few materials shape a space quite like wood. Warm, grounding, and endlessly versatile, it brings texture and depth without ever shouting for attention. From pale, tactile grains that brighten a room to rich, dark finishes that add quiet drama, wood has an instinctive way of making interiors feel considered and lived-in.

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

The everything drawer clean-out is the quickest way to make daily life feel calmer - without becoming minimalist or turning it into a weekend project. This elegant, practical guide walks you through a 20-minute reset, the tray layouts that actually stay tidy, and the prettiest tray options (ceramic, rattan, lacquer, marble) that make “miscellaneous” feel intentional. Includes common mistakes to avoid, quick picks, and a simple maintenance rule so the drawer stays beautiful - even when life gets busy.

The Drawer Clean-Out

A calm bedroom doesn’t require a full clean - just a smarter system. This guide breaks down the 15-minute bedroom reset that actually works, with time-coded steps you can repeat daily: make the bed properly, clear visual clutter fast, reset the nightstand and surfaces, and finish with one sensory cue. You’ll also find the most common mistakes, a simple shopping list, and quick picks for when you only have five minutes. Designed for real life - not perfect homes.

15-Minute Bedroom Reset

A quiet hour, a cup of tea, and a few simple materials - ribbon, paper, tin - can change how a space feels. Embossed tin shapes catch the light; paper stars, strung into loose garlands, brighten a room without much effort. Small, handmade details like these make a home feel festive in a way that’s personal and relaxed. These are some of the ideas we’ve seen trending this season.

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Amelia Christie-Miller (@ameliachristiemiller), the founder of Bold Bean Co (@boldbeanco), the brand turning humble beans into cult kitchen staples. Once a self-proclaimed bean sceptic, Amelia’s love affair began with a hangover and a jar of heirloom butter beans in Spain, one spoonful later, she was hooked. What started as a revelation has become a movement: showing the world that beans can be delicious, nutritious, joyful, and planet-friendly.
From building a business rooted in sustainability to collaborating with Ottolenghi and hitting Sunday Times Bestseller status with her new book Full of Beans, Amelia is proving that beans really can change the world - one creamy spoonful at a time. She talks about rewriting the rules of “tinned food”, celebrating indulgence without compromise, and how a simple jar of beans became the foundation for a more flavourful, thoughtful way of eating.

Though set on May Day, The Wicker Man (1973) has become a Halloween classic. Its horror is not cloaked in darkness, but bathed in sunlight - a slow, golden dread that seeps through fields of wildflowers and apple blossoms.
 Where other films offer shadows and monsters, The Wicker Man gives us something far more disquieting: smiling faces, ancient rituals, and the quiet certainty of sacrifice.

The Wicker Man

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.

Saint Laurent hosted a dinner at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival to celebrate Father Mother Sister Brother.
The event took place inside Palazzo Grassi, where Tadao Ando’s modernist design intersects with the Baroque palace. In collaboration with Bureau Betak, Saint Laurent arranged a fuchsia-hued tablescape: jewel-toned flowers and fruit spread across round crimson tables, set with white china, glass goblets, and platinum candlesticks. Here’s how we’d recreate the tablescape!

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Georgie Mullen (@georgieeats), whose debut cookbook What to Cook & When to Cook It celebrates cooking with the seasons. Georgie’s journey began at 14, when she started cooking for her mum, who had early-onset Alzheimer’s. What began as necessity grew into joy, guided by well-thumbed recipe books and a curiosity for flavour. Since 2018, Georgie has shared her recipes online, building a loyal community, cookery classes, and now her first book—rooted in food that’s modern, generous, relaxed, and full of memory.
