A desk is the only surface in the house that nobody furnishes on purpose. Everything on it arrived for a reason and none of the reasons were aesthetic: the pen came free, the mug is from a conference, the paper is held down by whatever was nearest. Which is a shame, because it's where a lot of us now spend the hours we used to spend elsewhere. The ten brands here make the things that end up within arm's reach for years: mouth-blown glass paperweights, hand-built trays for the stuff that has nowhere else to go, a diary invented in 1908 to fit inside a breast pocket. None of it will make you work faster. That isn't the job.

10 Deskware Brands to Know

A stationery shop is a good test of a city. These are small businesses with thin margins, kept alive by repeat custom and a particular sort of obsessiveness. The ones that last are usually run by someone who has strong feelings about laid paper and no interest at all in footfall. Here are 8 of the most beautiful.

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

Welcome to If I Had A Million, our new series where we ask people anonymously what they'd actually do if they won a million pounds. Not what you should do with a windfall like that, what you'd really do. Each month, one person tells us exactly how they'd split it, spend it, and share it. No names, no judgement, just honesty.
First up: a 26-year-old trainee joiner from Bath, currently renting, who's already got it all mapped out, down to the industrial knitting machine.

If I had a million...

There's something quietly radical about a refill. Not throwing away, not replacing - just continuing. Today is World Refill Day, and it feels like a good moment to consider the objects in your home worth holding onto.
AIRO's refillable candles were designed around exactly this idea: the vessel as the constant, the scent as the variable. Kinfill's dish soap arrives in a colourful pouch - less packaging, no compromise on performance. Attirecare's hand wash refills speak to the same logic: a beautiful dispenser you bought once, replenished as needed. None of it is complicated. Keep, refill, repeat.

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.

If Pantone’s Colour of the Year set the baseline, consider these its brighter counterparts.
Looking to SS26 fashion as an early reference point, interiors appear to be moving in the same direction: colour with more presence, less noise. Grape, Fuchsia, Lime and Flame Orange are saturated but considered, bringing depth, warmth and a lift to the home. Used as a single statement or paired for contrast, they’re the shades we’re watching for 2026.

2026 Colour Trends

There’s something about the start of a new year that makes everything feel possible - a blank page and a gentle reset. I’m not one for dramatic reinvention, but I am big on getting organised early, so the year doesn’t run away with me. Every January, I print out my weekly planning sheets, map out the months ahead, and pin up my A0 calendar so that 2026 feels visible, and therefore manageable. This year, I’m adding a misogi into my planning to get the most out of my year - one big, slightly daunting goal that sits outside the day-to-day and makes the year feel directional. I’m also pencilling in mini breaks early, so there’s rest built in before everything fills up. Here’s what I’m using to plan 2026!

How To Plan Your 2026

This week’s moodboard is a combination of some of the most classic Christmas film interiors - from softly lit family rooms to cosy cottages, lived-in London houses filled with unapologetically festive decorations.

This month’s colour pairing brings together cranberry and eggnog - a rich maroon red paired with a soft egg white. Cranberry brings depth and festive warmth, while eggnog balances it with a creamy, calming softness. It’s a combination we’re seeing everywhere right now, from food styling to interiors.

Cranberry & Eggnog Edit

This autumn, colour is less about rules and more about resonance. As Vogue noted of the runways, the season’s palette balances nostalgia with fresh energy, and the same is true at home. Three shades are standing out for interiors right now: mustard, candyfloss and mint. Each carries its own mood, its own way of transforming a space.

Colour Trends For Autumn 25

We’re fascinated by the curious ritual of reading, and how the books that occupy our bedside tables, carefully curated shelves and overflowing tote bags have the power to shape our present, soothe our past and reaffirm our future choices. We checked in with Liv Little, multi-hyphenate in every sense of the word, and author of Rosewater (out 20th April 2023) to learn more about how reading fulfils and enhances her life, both as a book lover and soon to be published author. Liv spotlights the work of close friends and fellow writers, as well as sharing her favourite spots to browse and soak in the experience of purchasing a new book.

We take five minutes with author and broadcaster Pandora Sykes to celebrate the ritual of reading. For Pandora, reading is a thread that weaves through everyday life at home, it is her primary hobby and her life long love. Pandora describes the corners of her home where she often reads and tells us all about her comfort shelf: her way of organising books by how she wants to feel when she reads them, a way of taking care.

Reading Rituals with Pandora Sykes

We’re fascinated by the curious ritual of reading and how creating space to read can be an anchor in our days: something to look forward to; a way of resting; a way of learning about ourselves and the world. We take five minutes with author and journalist Elizabeth Day to explore the art of creating the perfect reading corner: somewhere cocooning and comfortable where you can feel connected to home while you allow yourself to disappear into another world for a few hours. Elizabeth shares the importance of keeping her favourite books physically close to her and why she continues to place reading at the centre of her life.
