I’m a firm believer that you don’t have to splash on loads of home accessories to add personality to your place. Don’t get me wrong – I love an ornamental vase and a twisty candle as much as the next millennial, but I also know that ultimately I can achieve the same look with a pretty salt and pepper shaker set, or a sculptural coat hook.

I mean, what’s the point in wasting cash on extras when it’s possible to find fabulous versions of the essentials you needed to buy anyway? Sure to leave you with a far less cluttered home, it’s also a much cheaper way to show off your style — as long as you know where to look. And I do!

This ornamental trivet in your colour of choice
This gorgeous silicone trivet comes in rose, olive, caramel, and black, and boasts a unique rainbow shape that I’m completely obsessed with. Made from heat proof silicone, it’ll protect your worktops from damage, and look far better doing it than your classic cast iron trivet.

A wall-mounted coat rack that doubles as art
Not only does this wall-mounted coat rack take up far less room than your typical freestanding model, you can transform it into a piece of sculptural wall art by simply flicking up the five hooks. Choose from an aged walnut, natural, or black finish — and give your entryway a serious upgrade.

A pretty pan that deserves a permanent spot on the hob
If you like the sound of a multi-functional pan that replaces 8 other pieces of cookware, and you’re a fan of millennial cookware, then the Always Pan is a worthwhile investment. I’m obsessed with how pretty yet practical mine is, and barely ever actually put it away in a cupboard!
