100 BEST-EVER DESIGN IDEAS EDITED BY OUR EXPERTS

1 STATEMENT PENDANTS

Supersize and solo or a few in a row over a table or kitchen island works best.

2 BANQUETTES

Space-efficient seating for squeezing friends in, with classic diner-booth cosiness.

3 Jute and sisal mats

Practical with natural, rugged good looks.

4 FALCONWARE

Porcelain-fused steel makes for indestructible cookware that you can keep out on display.

5 An inspiring workplace

Defy the daily grind by surrounding yourself with furniture, colours and little details that keep you comfy, calm and positive.

6 BERBER RUGS

Traditionally made by hand in North Africa, the Berber is more than a design statement, it’s a piece of design history and craftsmanship. The real deal will be sourced from Berber villages, or, you could fake it with La Redoute’s Afaw, which has become so Insta-famous, it has its own account.

7 A range cooker

A wish list classic, along with pantries, dressing rooms and roll-tops for those with space to spare.

8 WILLOW HAMPERS

So simple, so British, so damn useful… and still being made in Somerset.

9 An Eames chair

Elegant, playful and smoothly versatile.

10 Mantel mirrors

Choose a round or arched shape to soften the hard lines of the fire surround and chimney breast.
