They say that home is where the heart is, but for fans of interiors it’s a space for self expression as well as comfort.

Like what we wear, how we decorate our homes reflects who we are, and house-proud people in particular often see furnishing as superior to fashion when it comes to personal style.

If you’re buying for someone who’d prefer to open candles and cushions over jewellery and jumpers this Christmas, there are plenty of opportunities to impress.

From minimalist kitchenware to standout trinkets, the shops are packed with pieces to suit every taste.

When shopping homeware as a present, consider your recipient’s current decor and try to keep your choices cohesive. A personal touch is always welcome, as are luxe items that they might not normally buy for themselves.

Here are some of our favourite options to get you started…

Florence Mytum Wiggle Mug

A statement mug isn’t just for drinking out of – it’s also for displaying, on an open shelf or to colleagues in Zoom meetings.

As they’re hand-crafted, each of these stoneware mugs is totally unique, and made in the UK by celebrated ceramicist Florence Mytum.

Whether they’re a baking whizz or just love tablescaping, these stands make a great gift.

For Christmas hosting and beyond, they’re a modern way to serve and store.

Suitable for 6 x 4 inch pictures, this handpainted frame adds a pop of colour to any home.

Put your favourite photo or a print they’ll love in here, and your gift will go down a treat.

Get your resident mixologist this toolkit, featuring a bottle opener, ice strainer, and tongs.

The gold-toned accessories sit on a sleek stand, jazzing up the bar cart or booze cabinet until they’re ready to work their magic come cocktail hour.

Le Creuset is the gold standard of cookware, with the brand’s range of colours meaning pieces aren’t to be hidden.

Treat your giftee to an iconic signature cast iron casserole dish, and we guarantee you’ll be in their good books for years to come.

London-based designer Karen Mabon’s prints are something to behold, with animal and botanical motifs that turn decor into sheer art.

We love this cushion – especially the delicate eyelash fringing and detailed flowers.

Don’t forget the bathroom when it comes to interiors gifts.

For the gift recipient who loves a soak in the tub, this Scandi-style rack holds their snacks, book, or glass of wine.

Hand-blown from 100% recycled glass, this set of four glasses is a planet-friendly present for the wine connoisseur.

The subtle green tint adds a fresh touch to classic glassware, worthy of showing off whenever guests pop round.

It’s not just about how a home looks that matters to house-proud people, it’s how it’s fragranced too.

After the Rain is Scottish brand Arran’s signature scent, with these travel candles and reed diffuser imparting the aroma of rose, sandalwood and lime throughout a room.

As any candle enjoyer knows, you have to take care to avoid tunnelling, smoke, and wasting precious burning time (and money if you’ve forked out for expensive scented varieties).

Get them this gift set to compliment their candles, with a wick trimmer, wick dipper, and snuffer – all in chic matte black.
