The House & Garden editor wish lists are your indispensable guides to the best new homewares, lifestyle picks, collaborations and high street arrivals to shop now.
Think of the details at home that really brighten your day; buying brand new hand soap and thrilling with joy at how it smartens up the sink, gazing upon a well framed print, setting the table for dinner using your smartest tablecloth. They're all small things that make a big difference to how much you enjoy being at home–but they don't have to cost a lot of money. From mood-lifting homeware to absolute staples, here's what House & Garden commerce writer, Tilly Wheeler, is lusting after this week.
The affordable version of a classic lamp
For under £200, this elegant chrome and marble floor lamp is an absolute steal. It is inspired by the iconic Flos Arco lamp, which will set you back over £2,000. A high street homage done well.
Colourful and compact storage
Ideal for small spaces, the drawers slide open, revealing three tiers of spacious storage within its cylindrical form. The Componibili has been around since 1967, and comes in a range of finishes, but this striking glossy red edition is particularly appealing.
The rustic planter
Cover up less than desirable plant pots, or use as kitchen or bathroom storage. Hand woven in Tanzania, these planter baskets are available online from Harriman & Co., one of House & Garden's top 50 independent design shops in the UK.
Architectural kitchenware
Made from stainless steel, there is a touch of brutalism to this salt and pepper set, in its weighty blockiness and angularity.
The coffee table tome
Discover a wealth of sketches and designs from the influential Italian designer and architect who founded the Memphis Group, in this impressive monograph.
The striking print
Last year's Design Museum exhibition acquainted me with the work of Enzo Mari, and this simple print of a prowling black panther is a favourite.
The 1970s tubular table
With their Nytillverkad collection, IKEA has reissued a range of archival designs to celebrate their history. This zingy yellow table dates from 1971, and is Breuer-esque in its tubular steel frame.
Perfect pattern
Ottoline's ‘Improvisation 1’ is my dream wallpaper, and this handmade cushion from Etsy that uses the fabric is a more affordable way to incorporate the print into the home, on a smaller scale.
The characterful knick-knack
These sweet little wooden characters were originally created by Alexander Girard in 1952, and are a lovely way to add a touch of whimsy to a shelf or windowsill.
Beautiful basketry
A lovely rustic basket that would make a delightful fruit bowl, from British independent brand Rebecca Udall.
Serving up in style
The combination of the organic shape of bamboo and sleek stainless steel will make this smart serving set the star of any dinner party table.
The plush rug
The neutral colour scheme and classic harlequin check of this thick, soft wool and cotton blend rug make it a versatile yet striking piece that would look lovely in a living room or bedroom. It sits at a very accessible price point but doesn't skimp on quality.
Excellent enamel
This popular design from Labour & Wait has a vintage, industrial style that is ideal for curating a utilitarian style kitchen. The brown version can be seen in Matilda Goad's London house.

The sculptural coffee pot
This hourglass coffee pot is beautiful as well as functional, and will make brewing a coffee on the stovetop in the morning even more appealing.
The cult fragrance
I've recently become obsessed with the long-lasting, woody scent of Le Labo's Hinoki body wash, and this travel set of dinky Hinoki products would be a treat to take in my hand luggage on any trips this year.
