From dinnerware to rugs and even toasters, many fashion brands eventually venture into homewares, blending their signature style with home decor.
For some brands, it’s a case of a small number of covetable add-ons, a throw rug, or playing cards, for example. Others throw themselves wholeheartedly into the category, turning out paints, fabrics and furnishings.
Dior
Refined elegance and a touch of riviera chic is the mood Dior’s homewares convey. Be on the look out for more seasonal releases, like the recent Dioriviera range, featuring house icon Toile de Jouy print in fresh hues of coral and aqua.
Emilia Wickstead
Kiwi Emilia Wickstead has extended her London-based womenswear business into selected home offerings including cutlery, dinnerware, glassware, table linen and wool blankets.
Bottega Veneta
The reputation for its signature leather weaving technique called Intrecciato translates into a number of home decor items, but we love the puffy throw pillows the best.
Dolce & Gabbana
The colourful, opulent and eclectic style of Italian brand Dolce & Gabanna translates well to tableware and textiles, you can also get your hands on a D&G Smeg blender or toaster, boasting joyful and bright Sicilian art.
Gucci
Want to rest those Gucci heels on a Gucci couch? You’re in luck! A range of sumptuous velvet camelback sofas joins chairs, pillows, footstools, wallpaper and more, from the Italian label.
Karen Walker
These days the Kiwi designer tends to collaborate with artisan makers on small run homewares. However Karen Walker’s incredibly popular paint range, first released over 20 years ago and made in collaboration with Resene, is still a best seller.
Gorman
Another brand known to indulge in expressive colour? Australia’s Gorman, that has translated its famous painterly and quirky patterns into colourful table cloths, tea towels, tableware and more.
Hermès
Hermès soft wool H logo blanket is a common sight in stylish homes everywhere, but the French fashion and accessories house makes plenty of other items to adorn your interiors. Think decorative items like lacquer serving trays, to daybeds, tables and lamps and other furniture.
Ralph Lauren
Known for its classic, elegant style with touches of Americana, Ralph Lauren Home, available at Trenzseater, offers a range of homewares including bedding, furniture, and tableware.
Loewe
On the smaller side versus some collections, the chic candles, candlesticks and handwashes from Loewe shouldn’t be missed. There is a beautiful range of colourful wool blankets and pillows too.
Versace
The brand’s signature Medusa-head motif features prominently on items from Versace Home, as does intricate gold detailing and oversized damask patterns across wallpaper, bedding, porcelain dinnerware and other home accessories.
