Minnie-Mae Studio is based in Margate, creating and producing ceramics, printed textiles and interior decoration. British seaside landscapes, the history of London, Greek mythology and Italian kitsch decoration inspire and inform her imagery and exploration of design, resulting in a healthy obsession with columns and seashells. Her hand-crafted ceramics are objects of empowerment, designed to evoke nostalgia and strength, whilst focusing on classical design.

The shell has spent decades being filed under "holiday souvenir" and not much else. That's over. Scalloped edges are turning up on lamps and mirror frames, mantelpieces are swapping their usual ceramics for conch and clam, and entire chandeliers are now being built from them - somewhere between a cabinet of curiosities and a beach house, minus the sand. It helps that the appeal was never really in question: no two shells the same, no improvement required. This isn't a coastal trend so much as good taste finally catching up with something the sea got right first.

Summer 2026 is set to be a rollicking one for music, and album covers have been nothing to turn our noses up at either. From Charli xcx to Kelela and Madonna, we’re assured months of sound that is sonically riotous. But what would décor look like if left to the devices of the albums set to soundtrack the scorching weather? From vivid pastels to minimalist backdrops and landscapes with gritty edges, here’s décor fueled by this summer’s most anticipated releases – and the albums already setting the tone for the months ahead.

Our Monthly What’s On is a curated round-up of the exhibitions, restaurant openings and residencies, and gigs we’re making plans for. From gallery shows and design fairs to new tables worth booking, cultural moments to catch, and the under-the-radar events you’ll wish you’d heard about sooner.
Think of it as your cultural compass for the month ahead: a considered edit of art, food, cinema and design, chosen to inspire weekends well spent.

What's On In June

There's a reason we spend so much time rearranging, repainting and quietly obsessing over the right shade of green for a single wall. Home is personal - more personal, probably, than most of us admit. This month, we've been thinking about that: about the objects that make a space feel inhabited rather than staged, and about the particular satisfaction of a room that couldn't belong to anyone else.
Our pride homeware edit is built around that idea. Pieces with colour and character, chosen for the people who know exactly what they want and aren't especially interested in playing it safe. Mustard Made, who are donating 10% of sales to LGBTQ+ rights organisation Outright International throughout June, sit at the heart of it, alongside a handful of other finds that feel considered, a bit daring, and genuinely built to last.
No novelty product here. Just good things, for homes with a point of view.

Your invitation sets the tone before a single guest arrives. At Glassette, we believe the details matter - the texture under your fingertips, the ink on the page, the moment someone pulls an invitation from an envelope and feels something. Whether you're drawn to the delicate or the bold, the handcrafted or the graphic, here are five beautiful approaches to making your invitations truly unforgettable.

Pinterest's 2026 wedding trends guide is here. In 2026, weddings are feeling less traditional and far more personal. Couples are moving away from polished perfection in favour of atmosphere, individuality and spaces that feel layered with character. Think candlelit pubs over formal venues, sculptural cakes, undone florals, analogue entertainment and tablescapes that borrow from intimate dinner parties rather than classic receptions. The modern wedding is becoming an exercise in world-building: expressive, cinematic and deeply reflective of personal taste, where every detail, from glassware to styling, feels curated rather than conventional.

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

There's a particular kind of magic that happens when a table spills over. Not messily, not by accident, but deliberately. Glasses catching the light, platters stacked high and passed without ceremony, chairs pulled in from other rooms because you needed them. This is XXL hosting: expansive, generous, and quietly theatrical in the best possible way.
It starts as a mindset shift. Forget tightly controlled dinner parties and overly curated place settings. This is about leaning into abundance - of food, of people, of texture, of noise. Long, meandering tables instead of perfectly appointed individual covers. Sharing plates over plated courses. A room that feels lived-in and evolving rather than dressed for a shoot.

XXL Hosting

Flowers don't need to be arranged so much as considered. The vase, the stem count, where you put them in a room - small decisions that add up to something that feels intentional rather than just bought. We've pulled together five creative ideas for styling cut flowers at home.

Whether you’re refreshing the table with a new set of napkins or upgrading your toast with a butter dish, here’s our breakfast tableware edit. Think egg cups for slow mornings, side plates for your croissant, and bowls made for yoghurt, granola, and fruit. Add glass coasters, salt and pepper shakers, and gingham table linens and the little extras that pull it all together.

A kitchen reset rarely starts with a moodboard. It starts with a quiet irritation: the drawer that never shuts properly, the mug you don’t actually like drinking from, the counter that somehow feels busy even when it’s clean. The kitchen is the most used room in the house - and often the least thoughtfully edited.
The Glassette kitchen reset isn’t about a full renovation or chasing trends. It’s about pausing, reassessing, and making small, tactile changes that improve how the room feels and functions. A better spatula. Fewer things on show. One beautiful object that earns its place. Done well, a kitchen reset makes everyday cooking calmer - and that calm adds up.

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.

Aquarius season (January 20 – February 18) invites originality, clarity, and a fresh kind of freedom.
Represented by the water-bearer, Aquarians are guided by intellect, independence, and a quietly rebellious streak. They’re drawn to ideas and objects that feel thoughtful, future-facing, and slightly unexpected - things with a point of view. Aquarius thrives in spaces that feel light and intelligently composed: clean lines, curious colour, sculptural details, and pieces that spark conversation. Not overly sentimental, but deeply intentional, they have a talent for making a home feel like a lived-in gallery - calm, clever, and distinctly their own. With wit, warmth, and a refusal to do “the obvious,” Aquarius bring a sense of possibility to everything they touch.

Aquarius Gifting

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.
