Late Afternoon collects and curates homewares made by expert artisans and family businesses rooted in craft. Born between London and Madrid, the team felt stumped by unattainable luxury homeware and cheap throw-away homogeny and were inspired to be part of a new way, where quality and accessibility can co-exist. With a focus on character, craftsmanship and love, the team collects future treasures, current classics and heirlooms-to-be for your home, all made with natural materials like wool, linen, clay and cotton.

Eurovision is the one night a year when maximum effort is not only acceptable but essentially mandatory, so your party should match the energy. Start with a ballot sheet for every guest, and a snack spread loosely themed around the competing countries. Dress code is sequins or go home. Have a signature cocktail, pick your favourites before the voting opens, and prepare to be completely wrong about who wins. Chaotic, communal, and completely unmissable - exactly as intended.

Hosting a Eurovision Party

Laura Jackson, co-founder and creative director of Glassette, says the right drinks can make bank holiday hosting a breeze.

Whether you take yours classic and pillowy, spiked with Earl Grey, loaded with bacon and egg, or sandwiched around a malted milk semifreddo, hot cross bun season has never looked quite like this. From a 15th-century bakery in Suffolk to a Parisian coffee shop in the 19th arrondissement, a Camberwell high street to the inner-north of Melbourne - this is our definitive guide to the most interesting buns worth tracking down this Easter.

Where to Get the Best Hot Cross Buns

There are the things you buy because you need them, and then there are the things you buy because they deserve to exist in your life. Megan Elizabeth makes the case for the latter - specifically, the cutlery drawer as the most quietly satisfying upgrade you're not yet taking seriously enough. From a brushed silver canteen with Parisian bones to vintage Laguiole sourced from the eBay gods, this is a celebration of the unsung heroes of the table: the daily tools that set the tone before a single dish arrives.

The Case for a Cutlery Upgrade

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.

There’s a particular feeling you get when you step into a really good boutique hotel bedroom. Not flashy. Not over-designed. Just calm, cocooning, and slightly better than real life. The bed looks inviting rather than styled. The lighting is low and flattering. Nothing feels accidental but nothing feels try-hard either. The good news? Learning how to make your bedroom feel like a boutique hotel has far less to do with square footage or budgets, and far more to do with restraint, texture, and a few deliberate choices. Think less “Instagram makeover” and more “would I want to read a book here for three hours?”
