With the Christmas countdown underway, The Independent has curated a list of 11 gift ideas tailored for interior design enthusiasts, featuring homewares that blend style and seasonal warmth.
The selection opens with a personalised ice skating half-pint mug from Emma Bridgewater (£35, plus £1 per additional letter), a cast iron medium casserole dish in cream from Marks & Spencer (£38), and a vintage-inspired Audrey Lady in Sunglasses vase from Joe Browns (£65).
For festive entertaining, a Press for Champagne wall ornament from Rockett St George (£35) rings when buzzed, while a Marlowe burgundy faux fur throw from Rowen Homes (£49) adds luxe texture to seating. A Fireside aromatic and smoky candle from Lux Umbra (£32) brings notes of spice, cedarwood and bergamot.
Larger statement pieces include a Portland iron and glass drinks trolley from One.World (£185) for crystal stemware and cocktail gear, striped ceramic book ends from Oliver Bonas (£45) for a reading nook, and quirky parrot-shaped cookie jars from Graham & Green — a green version at £38 and a white biscuit jar at £29.95.
Rounding out the list, a large disco ball ice bucket from Dunelm (£35) pairs with a matching side plate (£2) and slogan cocktail napkins (£3.50 for four), while a Clara burgundy stripe desk and table lamp from Oliver Bonas (£125) offers atmospheric lighting for the three-layer lighting rule.
