Etsy Is The Best Place To Shop For Unique Homeware - Here Are The 11 Pieces On My Wishlist

It's fair to say that when we’re not browsing Instagram and trawling new in sections for the latest seasonal outfit inspiration, you’re likely to find us lost in a homeware hole. Right now, homeware fever is sweeping the country - and not for the first time this year. After endless lockdowns mostly spent indoors, we’re now a nation of interiors connoisseurs through and through, as obsessed with art-directing our abodes as we are updating our wardrobes. A candle here, a decorative bowl there - we’re simply obsessed with anything that brings us joy the moment we enter the room.

There’s no doubt that the high street is bustling with homeware buys, but there’s one brand that’s really figured out how to get our attention - Etsy. Whether it’s low-lit lighting, bespoke wooden furniture or vibrant ceramics to get us in the mood for summer, they’ve got everything we need for creating the kind of home we’re happy to stay in for. Beyond that, they're a haven for discovering the next big trends in homeware first...

According to Etsy, searches for recipe plates have shot up 57%* in the last 3 months compared to the same time last year, with ceramics up 37%, table decor up 12% and napkin rings up 18% as “tablescaping” became the lockdown activity du jour (#tablescape now has 1.6m Instagram posts and counting). Never heard of it? It’s the art of making your dinner table look pretty with beautifully detailed decorations and plating that makes sitting down to eat as extravagant as can be. Off the table, you can find a new homeware addition for any room of the house - often as extremely reasonable prices.

Etsy’s creative host of independent sellers are making it easier than ever to build elevated, social media-worthy home. Ready to transform your own? Scroll on to the pieces saved to my wish list right now...
