Five Ways To Refresh Your Home This Spring
Words by The MR PORTER Team
1 March 2022
Any interior designer worth their salt knows that even a well-placed cushion can lift the atmosphere of a room. But choosing the right stuff to “enhance one’s living space” is easier said than done. Still, if your home is in need of a refresh, you’ve come to the right place. MR PORTER’s virtual shelves now boast an increasing amount of finely curated homeware, and we’ve put together a small selection to get you started. Home may be where the heart is, but it helps if there are some fancy candles, too.
01.
The centrepiece boardgame
The striking colours on this backgammon set by specialist Alexandra Llewellyn are inspired by dusk. The set was made in Spain and is crafted from leather – it will make for an excellent family keepsake, and is much more interesting to display on the coffee table than an art book.
02.
The cashmere pillow
If your sofa or bed isn’t festooned with at least one cashmere pillow, let this be a sign to change that. It doesn’t come cheap, but this impossibly soft, handloomed rainbow tie-dyed cushion from The Elder Statesman has the power to change the whole mood of a room.
03.
The bamboo cookware set
Into cooking? You will be once you get your hands on this bamboo and stainless steel cooking set from Lorenzi Milano. The Italian brand makes some of the finest kitchenware in existence, and will add some sophistication to dinnertime.
04.
The porcelain skateboard
Okay, so nobody needs a porcelain skateboard, but after seeing this one that’s been crafted by ceramicists in Nagasaki and painted with dragons, don’t you kind of want one? Hang it on the wall to give a room some personality.
05.
The behemoth candle
LOEWE HOME SCENTS’ candles are more than just a way to get the room smelling great (though this juniper berry one will do just that). They’re also works of art. Based on a design of a Greek mug that Mr Jonathan Anderson bought at an auction, the undulating terracotta design looks brilliant in any setting.
