8 DESIGN PIECES WE WANT IN OUR HOME RIGHT NOW
Sculptural lighting, collectible tableware and the objects that make everyday spaces feel considerably less predictable.
Hello Beauties,
There is a point when an object stops being simply functional and starts doing something for a room.
This edit is about exactly those pieces. Objects with enough character to become part of the interior itself — whether they sit beside the coffee machine, on a desk, against a quiet wall or at the centre of the dining table.
From POLSPOTTEN and Seletti to Qeeboo and Christofle, these are the design pieces currently making our interiors much more interesting.
POLSPOTTEN × LA MARZOCCO
There is something particularly good about objects that make the most ordinary ritual feel more considered.
The Polygon Latte Cups bring saturated colour and tactile form into the kitchen without becoming overly decorative. They feel playful, but still refined enough to sit comfortably within a more restrained interior.
Because good tableware should be useful enough for every day and interesting enough to leave on display.
SERAX CARTE BLANCHE
If POLSPOTTEN is about colour, Serax takes the opposite direction.
The angular silhouette and graphic detailing make these coffee cups feel almost architectural. They work particularly well in restrained spaces where one small object can introduce just enough visual structure.
Minimal does not need to mean anonymous.
POLSPOTTEN GRANDMA
Coffee, but considerably less beige.
The Grandma espresso cups mix saturated colour with patterned detailing and contrasting saucers. They have the slightly eccentric feeling of objects collected individually over time rather than bought as part of one perfectly coordinated set.
A very easy way to introduce colour without redesigning the entire room.
CARAN D’ACHE × PAUL SMITH
Not every interior object needs to be a vase, lamp or piece of furniture.
The striped case carries Paul Smith’s unmistakable colour language and turns an artist’s tool into a very good-looking desk object.
Because even a serious home office benefits from one object that refuses to be serious.
SELETTI LIPSTICKS MIRROR
Seletti has never been particularly interested in disappearing quietly into a room.
The Lipsticks Mirror is glamorous, theatrical and just strange enough. It turns something completely functional into an object that feels much closer to pop art.
This is not the mirror you buy because you need a mirror. It is the mirror you buy because the wall needs something to happen.
SUPREME × LODGE
Possibly the most unexpected object in this edit.
The cast-iron skillet sits somewhere between kitchen essential, fashion collectible and design object — exactly the kind of crossover that makes an otherwise practical piece suddenly interesting.
Useful objects can be part of the visual language of a room too.
QEEBOO GIRAFFE IN LOVE
A black giraffe carrying a chandelier in its mouth requires very little explanation.
It is lighting, sculpture and visual disruption in one object — large enough to command attention, but still playful enough not to take itself too seriously.
One piece of controlled madness can give an otherwise immaculate room an identity.
CHRISTOFLE CONCORDE
After all that colour and eccentricity, we are ending somewhere considerably quieter.
Christofle’s Concorde turns an everyday object into something worth noticing. Clean lines and a beautifully considered presentation make the set feel luxurious without making it precious.
The most convincing luxury is often found in the things we actually use every day.
WHAT MAKES AN INTERIOR PIECE WORTH INVESTING IN?
The best luxury interior accessories are rarely the ones chosen simply because they are expensive.
The pieces worth bringing home have enough design identity to change the atmosphere of a room while still having a reason to be there. Think sculptural lighting, distinctive tableware, beautifully designed everyday objects and collaborations that bring two completely different design languages together.
Craftsmanship matters. Longevity matters. But personality matters too.
A home should never look as though it arrived as one complete package. It should feel collected.
HOW TO MAKE A LUXURY INTERIOR FEEL MORE PERSONAL
Start smaller than you think.
One statement lamp, an unusual mirror, colourful tableware or a beautifully designed object on a desk can change the rhythm of a room without changing its architecture.
The most interesting interiors mix restraint with interruption: bright espresso cups on stone, sculptural lighting against a quiet wall, or immaculate flatware on an otherwise simple table.
That contrast is what makes a space feel curated rather than decorated.
THE TBM TAKE
Our favourite interiors right now are becoming less perfect and considerably more interesting.
One eccentric lamp beside a restrained sofa. Bright espresso cups on a stone countertop. Beautiful cutlery used on an ordinary Tuesday. A striped pencil case sitting beside an otherwise very serious desk.
The new luxury is not about adding more.
It is about choosing better — and occasionally choosing something entirely unnecessary simply because it makes the room more interesting.
Which one would make it into your home?
