A contemporary cutlery set for dinner parties
This unique cutlery set will be sure to add something a little different to a contemporary dining table. We suggest buying for fancy use – only when important guests are coming over –while each piece of cutlery is varies in texture due to how they are crafted.
Piet 2-Piece Cutlery Set | £46 at Anthropologie
This five-piece cutlery set comes with two forks and two spoons, differentiating in size, as well as a knife. They are exclusive to Anthropologie, and unfortunately hand-wash only, but rest assured you won't see them on anyone else's dining table. They also come in silver, should you prefer it...

A decorative storage jar for your open shelving
If you have open shelving in your kitchen and you like to store dried foods and more in jars on display then these ones are perfect. They're decorative unlike the usual plain jars you see everywhere, and they have a bamboo lid. Not just that, but they come in all sizes so you can store anything from rice to spaghetti and even salad (inside the fridge, of course).

A Morrocan-style pouffee for extra seating indoors or out
If you wish your sofa could seat more people and you hate having guests sitting on the floor when they come over, then a pouffe should be your next purchase. We love this Moroccan-style one from Dunelm as it can pretty much blend in with any decor, whether your home is boho, minimalist or Scandi-style. It's also mega comfortable and you can move it from your home, into your garden with ease.

Cosy and neutral waffle cushions for your bed or sofa

These waffle cushions from Dunelm are luxurious since they are made from 100 per cent cotton, they come in three neutral shades and they arrive filled, ready to style. We love them placed on a bed, behind your pillows.

Hi! I'm Annie, and I'm the Head Ecommerce Editor at Real Homes. I've been part of the Real Homes team since 2018, when I joined as Deals Editor. Along with covering major sales events — from Black Friday to Amazon Prime Day — I review home must-haves so that you can buy with peace of mind. Mostly focusing on home fragrance and sleep, as well as a few vacuum cleaners, I've tested pretty much every item you can think of that you need in your home. I live on the outskirts of the city in a two-bed apartment with my husband and my pug, Doug. So I am always searching for compact alternatives and ways to save floor space. What about when I am not typing away? Well, you'll find me enjoying an iced coffee (no matter the season) and trying out the latest brunch spots the city has to offer, or booking my next holiday. Where else can you find my words? Livingetc, Homes & Gardens, Ideal Home, Gardeningetc, and Woman & Home.
