The kitchen is the room that gets used hardest and shopped for most carelessly. A peeler from the supermarket, a chopping board that came free with something, glasses that survived the last move. The 17 brands in this edit are the case for doing it on purpose: chopping boards cut in a Dartmouth workshop, enamel that has kept its blue rim since the 1920s, glass mouth-blown in Poland, hand-painted plates made in Portugal for a Belgian label. Some of it is built for the hob and some of it for the table. Here's who to save.

17 Kitchenware Brands to Follow

Squash, game, the first proper apples. October is when the kitchen starts earning its keep.
Summer cooking is assembly. Slice a tomato, add salt, take the credit. October asks a little more of you. The oven goes back on, the pans get heavier, and things are allowed to take their time.
The reward is a month of genuine abundance. Here is what to buy, what to do with it, and what to cook this weekend.

What's in Season: October

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 centrepiece has been demoted. In its place: the salad bouquet, a vase of lettuce or kale arranged stem-down. Little Gem, lola rosa, a wedge of radicchio for colour. Edible flowers are optional, though nobody who has come this far tends to leave them out.

Trending Now: Salad Bouquets

A lot of what inspired me this week happened around Borough.
A Turkish-Cypriot meyhane on the top floor of a pub, papered wall to wall in someone else's family photographs. A cocktail bar five minutes downhill from it, building drinks out of the market below. A Parisian burger shop in Shoreditch with four things on the menu and a queue that doesn't seem to mind.
But the one I keep thinking about is the Barbican, where every August they put a screen up on the Sculpture Court and let a few hundred people watch films on a concrete terrace in the middle of the City. 
So that's the week - two restaurants, a bar, a film season, a museum and three people whose work I've been sitting with. Here's the eight.

8 Things That Inspired Me This Week

Wedding lists have a habit of playing it safe. Twelve of everything, in white, to be used twice a year. This edit takes a different view: presents the couple will actually reach for. Glassware with some personality, a casserole dish that will outlive the marriage certificate's frame, a butter dish in a colour that starts conversations. Some are practical, some are purely sentimental, and some are great to bring out when you have guests over (we’re talking about the Magnum). Whichever you choose, it says you put real thought into it, and that's what makes a wedding gift meaningful.

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.

June Product Diaries

A pairing that earns its keep through proximity rather than contrast, apricot and coral work because neither is trying to win. Two tones from the same warm family, close enough to feel considered, different enough to hold interest - the blush of apricot softening the deeper flush of coral's red undertow.
Apricot does the quiet work. Diffused, flattering, the colour of late afternoon in a room with good light. Coral sharpens the mood without breaking it, adding just enough depth to stop the combination reading as sweet. Together they feel less like a pairing and more like a progression, a colour story that rewards looking twice.

Apricot & Coral

No endless scrolling. No panic buying. Just the right things, for the right people, at the right time.

June Glassette Gift List

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.

2026 albums as interiors

Hello!
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the things that quietly inspire you without making a huge song and dance about it.
Not necessarily the big, life-changing moments. More the restaurant you leave already planning your return to before the bill’s even arrived. A book that makes disappearing from society feel oddly glamorous. A hotel suite so layered and atmospheric you briefly convince yourself you could move to Rome and spend your days sketching in cafés. Those sorts of things.
The things that shift your mood slightly. Make you want to host more. Cook differently. Book the trip. Rearrange a room. Romanticise your life a little bit harder.
I suppose that’s always what I’m drawn to in the end - places and people and ideas that make everyday life feel more considered, more beautiful, more alive.
So here’s a little collection of what’s inspired me lately. A bit interiors, a bit food, a bit escapism. Exactly as it should be.

What Inspired Me This Month

Something that doesn’t happen every day: the chance to own a slice of Diane Keaton’s (very) extensive archive. Earlier this month, it was announced that New York-based auction house Bonhams will spearhead four auctions spanning May and June, offering up the late Academy Award winner’s personal archive. The sales will include everything from plush furniture and, no doubt, a killer selection of hats to red-carpet Gucci looks, artwork and trinkets collected throughout her lengthy on-screen career.
