Toast

While Toast may be best known for chunky knits and corduroy, its homewares must never be overlooked. Quality and longevity are at the heart of all that this great brand produces – and, man, do they understand our need to hunker down.

Rowen & Wren

Since its inception in 2011, Rowan and Wren’s offering has been characterised by sustainable craftsmanship and sublime simplicity. Their explicit aim is to ‘provide daily doses of much needed comfort and joy’.

Birdie Fortescue

The Birdie Fortescue interiors emporium that we know today followed her career with Colefax & Fowler in the 1980s and subsequent life as an antiques dealer. Print, pattern and the desire to conserve traditional skills guide the design of her twice-yearly collections.

Anboise

Exquisite art and antiques combine with contemporary designs at this luxury interiors brand. The result is a highly covetable treasure trove that is testament to the good taste of Creative Director, Annabelle Holland.

OKA

Few people understand grown-up comfort like the design teams at OKA. For over two decades now, they have been in ‘a love affair with living well’. Their vibe is: English but with nods to the Far East and traditional but with contemporary flair. They simply get it right.

Host

When Host founder Sophie Warburton was doing up her house, she wanted an aesthetic that was neither too high street nor too high end. So, she created a company that offers one. If you’re after fun, affordable homewares that make you want to linger, Host is the place for you.
