The House of Lyria: Fringed Throws and Home Textiles

The House of Lyria: Fringed Throws and Home Textiles

The House of Lyria treats home textiles as small-scale architecture, built from texture, color and the productive tension between order and imperfection. Riccardo Bruni founded Lyria in Prato in 2002 and brought the company into interiors in 2021 with cushions and throws shaped by natural fibers and experimental weaving. The result is domestic design with enough personality to change the room without shouting over it.

Slowtide Towels: Which Ones Are Worth It?

Slowtide Towels: Which Ones Are Worth It?

Slowtide is the Costa Mesa label that treats a beach towel like a small canvas. I keep coming back to how much color it packs into things you would normally buy without a second look.

Piecework Puzzles: The Best Ones to Start With

Piecework Puzzles: The Best Ones to Start With

Piecework is the Los Angeles puzzle company that gives jigsaws an art-forward, slightly mischievous point of view. I like it because it treats a puzzle as a slow, social excuse to sit down, and this edit is where I would start.

Papier Planners: The Best Buys Worth Knowing

Papier Planners: The Best Buys Worth Knowing

Papier is the London paper brand Taymoor Atighetchi started in 2015 for notebooks, planners and cards you actually want to open. I like it because every cover looks chosen, and this edit sorts the shelf by habit.

Completedworks Jewelry

Completedworks Jewelry

Completedworks turns jewelry and domestic objects into small studies in tension. Anna Jewsbury’s London studio works with sculptural forms, recycled materials and a taste for the strange beauty of things that look almost familiar. The earrings are the entry point, but the vases and glassware keep the story from ending at the jewelry box.

Noon & Moon Home Decor: Pieces Worth a Look

Noon & Moon Home Decor: Pieces Worth a Look

Noon & Moon is a Los Angeles label of hand-painted glassware, dinnerware and vases that treats the table as a small stage. I like how much personality it gives to an ordinary breakfast, and this edit is the vases, cups and serving pieces I would gather first.

TRUDON Fragrance

TRUDON Fragrance

TRUDON brings four centuries of wax-making history into rooms that do not need another decorative object so much as a better atmosphere. The house traces its story to Claude Trudon’s Paris shop in 1643 and its later role as a Royal Manufacture supplying Versailles. Candles, diffusers and perfume now carry that old sense of ceremony into a more intimate scale.

Natalia Criado Tableware: Silver-Plated Pieces With Ceremony

Natalia Criado Tableware: Silver-Plated Pieces With Ceremony

Natalia Criado brings the logic of jewelry to the table, turning silver-plated metal, stone and glass into objects with a little ceremony built in. Born and raised in Colombia, Criado studied industrial design in Milan before founding her tableware and object line in 2018. The collection makes everyday serving feel more considered without pretending that a coffee pot is a museum piece.

Colorful Home Decor: Twenty-Four Pieces in Bold Color and Shape

Colorful Home Decor: Twenty-Four Pieces in Bold Color and Shape

This is the opposite of a quiet edit. Twenty-four pieces that are doing something with colour, shape or both

Autumn Sonata Home Decor: Antique-Inspired Textiles and Prints

Autumn Sonata Home Decor: Antique-Inspired Textiles and Prints

Autumn Sonata began with Lilli Elias in 2021, after her studies in archival practice and a renewed fascination with antique textiles. The name nods to Ingmar Bergman, while the products translate archival prints and historic craft references into towels, robes and table linens. It is a home collection with a memory for pattern and a practical reason to exist.

Missoni Home: Zigzag Towels, Robes, Cushions and Throws

Missoni Home: Zigzag Towels, Robes, Cushions and Throws

Missoni Home takes the family's zigzag knitwear pattern and applies it to towels, robes, cushions and throws. It shows up now because pattern has moved from clothing into the rest of the house, and a strong textile reads as personality rather than decoration. This edit separates the bathroom pieces from the pieces built for a living room.

Ettitude Bedding: The Best Pieces Right Now

Ettitude Bedding: The Best Pieces Right Now

Ettitude is the bedding brand Phoebe Yu started in Melbourne in 2014, now based in Los Angeles, with sheets made from its own bamboo fabric. I like it because it makes a sleep-first product with a real point of view on how textiles are made.

Dinosaur Designs: Resin Jewelry and Home Objects

Dinosaur Designs: Resin Jewelry and Home Objects

Dinosaur Designs turns resin into sculptural jewelry and home objects, letting bold color and rounded, tactile forms carry the whole idea. That material logic sets it apart from the polished metal and neutral ceramics that dominate most collections around it. This edit focuses on the pieces where that idea reads clearest, from earrings that interrupt a plain outfit to vessels built to be seen.

Caraway Cookware Sets: Which Ones Are Worth It?

Caraway Cookware Sets: Which Ones Are Worth It?

Caraway is a New York cookware brand that makes pots, pans and storage in colors you do not mind leaving out. Jordan Nathan started it after a nonstick scare, and I find the whole idea oddly comforting.

Boy Smells Candles: The Scents Worth Knowing

Boy Smells Candles: The Scents Worth Knowing

Boy Smells is a Los Angeles candle project turned fragrance label, with pink packaging and a habit of blending notes once sorted as masculine or feminine. I like it because you get to decide what a scent is.

What Makes A Quiet Room Feel Considered

What Makes A Quiet Room Feel Considered

What makes a quiet room feel considered rather than empty: objects that do one job, soft layers with weight, and one thing with age on it.

What Is a Craftsman House, and How Do You Furnish One

What Is a Craftsman House, and How Do You Furnish One

What is a Craftsman house, in plain terms: a low, porch-fronted American home from the early twentieth century, built around natural wood, built-ins and handwork. Here is how I would furnish one with Mission furniture, amber lamps and William Morris prints without turning it into a museum.

Tsu Lange Yor Fragrance and Candles: Where to Start

Tsu Lange Yor Fragrance and Candles: Where to Start

Tsu Lange Yor is the fragrance and home label Troye Sivan and his brother Steele Mellet started in Melbourne in 2023. I love how it treats a candle and a perfume as the same feeling, just in different places.

Smythson: Frank Smythson's London Paper and Leather Goods

Smythson: Frank Smythson's London Paper and Leather Goods

Frank Smythson opened the first Smythson boutique in London in 1887, and the brand still makes everyday paper and leather goods. I look at the diaries and small leather objects worth keeping.

Ralph Lauren Home: Tabletop, Everyday Objects and Soft Pieces

Ralph Lauren Home: Tabletop, Everyday Objects and Soft Pieces

Ralph Lauren Home treats decorating as a complete world rather than a collection of isolated objects. Launched in 1983 after Ralph and Ricky Lauren struggled to find the right pieces for their own house, the first collection introduced four distinct lifestyles, from Thoroughbred to Log Cabin. The smaller pieces still carry that same instinct for atmosphere, polish, and a little American theatricality.

Modern Lighting: Table Lamps, Floor Lamps and Pendants

Modern Lighting: Table Lamps, Floor Lamps and Pendants

Modern lighting here means table lamps, floor lamps and pendants in warm neutrals, brass and glass. I picked ones that make a room feel softer.

Homecourt Home Care: A Guide to Home and Body

Homecourt Home Care: A Guide to Home and Body

Homecourt is the home-care label Courteney Cox and Sarah Jahnke started in Santa Monica, with hand wash that smells like a good candle. I like it because it makes the boring parts of a day feel a little more pleasant.
