Fashion stylist and consultant Sarah Corbett-Winder has made her name on good taste and a keen eye for charming pieces. Her house, which was featured in House & Garden in 2022, has been crafted with the same imagination. Now, she turns her hand to a new shopping column where each month she'll pick the best mood-boosting homeware to buy.
September is the time for back-to-school newness and a full blown refresh of your house. A new chair or chest of drawers will go a long way to giving your space a face lift–especially in bright hues that'll brighten the room on cold, dark nights.
September is also the best time to think about new lighting. Consider which corners could benefit from a warm glow in the evening, or how you might better adapt your work from home set up. I particularly like this National Trust X Anglepoise collaboration: classic shapes in new colours.
The best way to create a personal space without using colour is to add texture when and where you can. The very best, layered interiors are ones made up of different patterns, textures and furnishings. This Zara Home rattan trolley is quite an affordable pick, and can be styled using pretty glass bottles and drinks vessels.
Introducing autumnal hues into your interior is another excellent way to prepare your house for the new season. You can do this using a plate, cushion, or stylish print.
Why not revamp your shelves or bedside tables with a pretty new jug? Both ceramic and glass are great materials for this purpose. I really love these rich brown hues that would pair well with any flowers.
Making the practical beautiful is an easy way to make your house feel like a more charming space overall. Everything from adapters, to oven gloves can be found in pretty colours and textures and introduced into your house.
