Here’s everything homeware-related that Team R29 is lusting over in July.

The last thing I need is more candles (my house resembles a church) but I have to have a couple of these in coconut and parma violet. They’ll look very cute around the bath.
sseashellcandles Sea shell candles, $, available at Etsy
I don’t like rugs but I’m into this rustic, jute runner and it’s really affordable for the length. I hope it’ll make my hallway look a little less empty.
Dunelm Jute Boucle Runner, $, available at Dunelm
Do I have a thing for shells? Maybe. This scallop-edge dinner set is pretty yet understated and will go so well with the linen tablecloth my lovely grandma gifted me recently.

Does this count as homeware? Either way, I’ve started making little candle holders with this air-dry clay. So therapeutic and satisfying!
Pebeo Pebeo Gedeo Non-Firing Clay 1.5kg, $, available at Hobbycraft
I finally invested in an outdoor washing line last month so this beautiful caddy will be handy for running fresh sheets in and out.
Hay HAY Laundry Basket – S – Soft Blue, $, available at HUH Store
I got these wine glasses last year and they just make me so happy. I’ve had these on my wish list and it might finally be time to invest.

These outdoor lanterns are solar-powered, meaning that they’ll come on automatically in my garden when it gets dark. Even better, they’re only £5.50. I might even get a couple.
Ikea SOLVINDEN LED solar-powered pendant lamp, outdoor globe/diamond-shaped30 cm, $, available at Ikea
I’ve washed all my Ikea basic dish towels so many times, they’re barely capable of drying up anymore. I’m after an upgrade and these beautifully embroidered towels from KISANY Living Linens are SO divine. Plus, the company creates jobs for women artisans and is committed to improving the lives of over 1,300 women and children in DR Congo and Rwanda.
Kisany Living Linens Vegetable Kitchen Tea Towel, $, available at Akojo Market
Because it’s just the nicest desk lamp I’ve ever seen and if I’m going to be WFH for a while, I might as well make my kitchen table SEEM like a desk.
Ferm Living Meridian Lamp | Black, $, available at Trouva

I have so many prints and posters I just haven’t got around to framing. This magnetic poster hanger will help me finally display them.
Quirky Black Magnetic Poster Hanger, $, available at Trouva
I love Earl Of East candles and Strand is possibly my favourite. Inspired by Copenhagen beaches, it smells far nicer than any Danish beach I visited last winter and makes my home feel soothing and atmospheric.
Earl of East Earl of East | Strand – Soy Wax Candle – 500ml [17.5oz], $, available at Earl of East
I’m moving to an unfurnished flat soon and need a rug to brighten the linoleum in the kitchen/dining space. This rug from Made is perfect – it’s a beautiful colour, nice size and, crucially, easy to clean.

I realised this week that I don’t own any physical photo frames. Though I often scroll through my phone and look at old snaps, it’s high time I head to Boots and print some off (is that still how you print photos?). Then I’ll add my favourite pic to this pretty patterned frame.
&klevering Checked photo frame 10.5cm x 8cm, $, available at Selfridges
I’m obsessed with these mirrors. If I could fill my flat with every different colourway and shape, I would. Yes, they aren’t the most practical thing for doing your makeup in but they inject colour into a space and reflect light, which is an interiors win in my book.
Printed Weird Circle Marbling Mirror – Lilac & Green, $, available at Printed Weird
I know I’m late to the Murano lamp hype but this little mushroom has captured my heart. I hate using the ‘big light’ in my living room and this little lamp feels like it would add the perfect warm glow to my evening chill time.
Nata Concept Store Iced Mini Mushroom Lamp, $, available at Nata Concept Store
Under £10
I’m an Aries. A fire sign. And true to my nature, I do like burning stuff. Particularly stuff that smells good. For the last year I’ve found that while WFH, lighting incense in the morning while I (try to) meditate is a great way to start the day.
Kuumba Kuumba Incense Fig, $, available at The GoodHood Store
Because I can’t stop propagating plants and they all need really nice pots to live in! Even if it is a bit over budget…
Ferm Living Hourglass Plant Pot, $, available at Heal’s
Nothing says ‘you’ve made it’ like a giant Diptyque candle. I’m not sure if I’ve made it but, should it ever happen, I’ll be buying this.
Diptyque Baies Three-Wick Candle 600g, $, available at Liberty London
Under £10
So many candles, so little candle holders. I like these vintage-inspired, terracotta glass versions, which would look very pretty dotted around the house.
H&M Glass candle lantern, $, available at H&M
I love the smoky glass of this table lamp and the cool LED bulb makes it. I hope the low light will inject some cosiness into my room come evening.
Habitat Habitat Lyss Glass Table Lamp – Smoke, $, available at Habitat
From body scrubs to hair masks, my bathroom is filled to bursting with toiletries – and I’ve nowhere to put them. This rattan storage caddy will help me tidy up a bit!

I moved – yay! Sadly, the dining table in my new place is very sad and old so I’m planning on covering up the glass top with this lovely cotton tablecloth and investing in a linen one further down the line.
H&M Cotton tablecloth, $, available at H&M
I’ll admit it, I panic bought my pillows. I should have realised that cheap meant flat, so I’m looking to the White Company sale to rectify my mistake and provide me with some fluffy 5* clouds to sleep on.
The White Company Comfort & Support Pillow Pair, $, available at The White Company
I can’t get over how stunning this vase is. Now all I need to do is find the perfect singular stem to keep in it.

Anthropologie Phoebe Cake Stand, $, available at Anthropologie
The temperature is so confusing at the moment and along with a new bed I’ve upgraded to these all-seasons duvets, which can be used individually or connected for the colder months. The only problem now is, the bed is too good to get out of!

Mini. Gluggle. Jugs. What am I going to use them for? Who cares, look at them!
Gluggle Jugs Mini Gluggle Jug, $, available at Trouva
Getting my pot collection to catch up with my lockdown plant collection is gonna be tough but I’m obsessed with Etsy ceramicist Xin’s pots. Her bobbly pot collection is my fave but there’s all sorts of weird and wonderful creations on her page to check out.
HiThereTheShop The Bobbly Pot Collection, $, available at Etsy
I’m pregnant and having approximately one bath per day at the moment (pelvic pain is a frigging nightmare). As a result I’m taking my baths to the next level and these giant hammam-style towels are the best way to top off an exquisite experience. So many good colours to choose from.
Ma Poesie Vision Jade Towel, $, available at Trouva
Under £10
I’ve recently moved into a flat that’s big enough for a dining table (!) which means actually buying a table and seating to go with it. I love the subtle texture and colour of these cushion covers for taking the edge off potentially hard dining chairs.
Ikea GUNVA Cushion cover, yellow50x50 cm, $, available at Ikea
I love the dark green version of this lampshade but I’m particularly drawn to the burnt orange for the warmth it will bring into the WFH office.
Argos Argos Home Metal and Wood Effect Shade – Burnt Orange, $, available at Argos
I don’t know if I can quite bring myself to spend £135 on a mirror but if I did, it would be on this vintage art deco number to rest on the top of a chest of drawers. Yes please thank you!
Kitty’s Vintage Vault Vintage 1930s Frameless Mirror Art Deco Wall Mirror, $, available at Etsy

I’m always on the lookout for the next set of candles that I’ll never burn because they’re just too pretty and these drip-effect candlesticks from Ferm Living caught my eye.
Ferm Li, Ferm Living Ferm Living Duo Candle – Set of 2 – Dark Blue, $, available at HUH Store
I’ve been using the throw from my bed as a blanket in the park on that rare occasion when the sun comes out, which always results in grass and twigs all over my bedding. Not ideal. So I’ve been searching for a new lightweight blanket that will fit in my bag and is affordable enough that I won’t mind if I spill my third glass of rosé wine on it.
Arket Cotton Beach Blanket, $, available at Arket
Linen for summer, groundbreaking! After sleeping with my fan on the rotate setting for the past few weeks I’ve finally decided to invest in some new, lightweight linen bedding. Bedding is expensive but linen is long-lasting so it’s a good investment and I love this buttery colour.
Mango 100% linen duvet cover 220x220cm, $, available at Mango
