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

The halls room is a known quantity. Magnolia walls, a single bed, a desk pushed under the window, a radiator with a mind of its own and a ban on anything adhesive. You get it for nine months and you cannot change a thing about it structurally.
What you can change is what you put in it. The list below is not about making a student room look like a shoot. It is about the small number of objects that make a rented box feel like yours by the second week, and that survive the move out, the house share in second year and the flat after that.
Buy fewer things. Buy them once.

18 Things Worth Buying For A New Room At Uni

The ones worth saving for the last week of August, when the light goes long and everything starts packing itself away.
There is a specific kind of film about the end of summer, and it is not really about summer at all. It is about the afternoon the shutters get closed, the argument that surfaces on the last night, the person who was there in July and is not there in September. These nine understand it.

9 Films for the End of Summer

Our Co-Founder and Creative Director Laura Jackson rediscovers forgotten Mallorcan treasures.
"Four summer days in Mallorca. We found ourselves there to celebrate a family wedding and in the days following, we set out to find some glittering coves and secret swimming spots, local lunch spots and beautiful ceramics to take home. The south east corner is a part of Mallorca I haven't visited since I was young and I felt all the excitement of rediscovering forgotten treasures and well kept secrets." Laura

Mallorca Guide

Eleanor is Glassette's Buying and Brand Acquisition Manager - the person who sources new homeware and lifestyle brands for the platform, shapes the ranges, and spots what's worth paying attention to before most people have clocked it. Every month, she shares the products she can't stop thinking about, the trends quietly moving into interiors, and honest recommendations she'd genuinely spend her own money on.
This month: the back-to-school dread that ends, as ever, in a new notebook and a house full of primary colours, the frames built around a polaroid strip rather than in spite of it, the tea towels she's decided are too good for the kitchen and has hung on the wall instead, the yoghurt topping the whole office keeps asking about, and the six mirrors doing six entirely different things with the same object.

August Product Diaries

The last warm evenings of the year, and what to do with them. London in late August has a particular quality. The parks are worn thin from three months of use. The light turns amber around seven and the air cools by ten. Almost every outdoor programme in the city is now in its final fortnight, which lends the whole thing a useful urgency. You either go this week or you wait until next May.
Here are 9 ways to spend the evenings that are left, from a floating lido in the Docklands to a car park roof in Peckham.

9 Outdoor Dates for the End of Summer in London

Tonight, 12 August, a total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland and northern Spain. Britain isn't in the path of totality, and never gets the full blackout drama this time round. What we get instead is a partial eclipse, low in the west, right around sunset. That sounds like a consolation prize. It isn't. A sun sliced into a crescent and sinking into the sea is its own kind of spectacle, and the further west and south you are, the more dramatic it looks. Bring eclipse glasses (sunglasses will not do), a clear western horizon, and low expectations of the British weather. Timings shift by several minutes across the country, and the sun sets earlier the further east you are - check local start times and sunset for your exact spot before you head out.

The Best Places in the UK to View the Solar Eclipse

We all know summer changes (and raises the stakes of) a London date. The city stays light until ten, the pavements fill up, and suddenly "drinks?" feels like a wasted opportunity. This is a list for doing it properly - organised not by postcode but by the kind of date you're on. The nervy first coffee. The ice cream that's really an excuse for a walk. The wine bar where things get interesting. The spot that becomes a permanent fixture long after the first, third and fifth date. And, naturally, for when it matters, somewhere special. Twenty places, five categories, one long summer. Use accordingly.

Where to go for summer dates in London

A bouquet doesn't have to mean a dozen roses. At Glassette, we believe the best arrangements say something about the person carrying them - or wearing them. From blooms that never wilt to broccoli dressed in pearls, the bouquet is having a playful moment. Whether you're gathering flowers for a friend, a table, or an aisle, here are six creative ideas for bouquets.

Creative Ideas For Bouquets

Fruit is having a design moment, and at Salone, it's been impossible to ignore. From Laila Gohar’s surreal fruit carousel to Chloé’s tomato-shaped seating, it showed up oversized, playful, and unexpectedly refined. Less decoration, more statement: a shift towards interiors that feel abundant, expressive, and slightly theatrical.
This edit leans into that energy, pulling together pieces that echo fruit through colour, form, and texture. A little surreal, a little joyful, and very much of the moment.

Fruity Design

Gallery walls have moved on from rigid grids and perfectly matched frames. The most interesting ones mix artwork, objects and unexpected pieces to create something layered and expressive. We’ve pulled together five creative ideas for building a gallery wall that feels considered and full of character.

“Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same,” Cathy Earnshaw declares in Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights. If that sentiment were an interior, it might look like this: an all-pink bedroom that feels flushed with emotion, not sweetness. As Emerald Fennell’s new film pulls the story back into the cultural bloodstream, glimpses of the sets and costumes suggest a bold, surreal fever dream of Gothic romance. Cathy’s bedroom is the purest expression of it, a masterclass in pink that reportedly nods to Margot Robbie’s own skin tones, with layered textures and uncanny, intimate detailing that leaves the space saturated with her presence.

Wuthering Heights Edit

Looking for the best tableware for everyday use? This Glassette edit breaks down what to buy, what to skip and how to choose plates, bowls and serving pieces that feel calm, tactile and designed to live with - not just look good once a year. From stoneware to shallow bowls, this is tableware that works hard, stacks well and quietly elevates daily meals without feeling formal.

Best of Tableware

This week’s moodboard looks to Marty Supreme, a film that’s become a cultural artefact before most people have even taken their seats. In cinemas now, its rollout has set a new benchmark for how movies show up in culture.
For this week’s film moodboard, we’re borrowing from its world of sharp suits, sharp wit, and scenes that unfold over a perfectly poured drink. Think clean-lined martini glasses, silver platters, and tableware that leans polished and pared-back. Bring a slice of Marty Supreme’s after-hours energy home with our latest edit.

Marty Supreme

There are two types of bedside lighting. The first is a single bright lamp that makes you feel like you’re about to complete a tax return. The second is the kind you find in hotels: soft, low, flattering the lighting equivalent of a good robe. The difference isn’t just aesthetics. Bedside lighting is the thing that decides whether your evenings feel like a gentle landing or a hard stop. It’s what makes reading possible, makes your bedroom feel warm instead of functional, and (quietly) tells your brain it can start powering down. A good bedside set-up doesn’t need a full bedroom overhaul. It just needs the right light, at the right height, with a little bit of softness built in.

The Bedside Lighting Edit

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.
