December always brings our attention back to home. Between hosting, reorganising and settling into the slower days ahead, we\u2019ve been thinking about the furniture and homewares we\u2019re genuinely coveting<\/a> this month. Across the team, a clear pattern emerges \u2013 pieces that feel useful, well-made and worth having in our spaces right now.<\/p>\n

During my usual TikTok doomscroll, I came across my dream dining room situation (as pictured to the left above), and am now on the hunt to recreate in my own home. I already own a stainless steel side table<\/a> in my living room, so bringing this material into my dining room feels natural. I discovered a miracle find on 1stDibs for these Chippensteeel 0.5 Chairs by Zieta<\/a>, in polished stainless steel, which would be an absolute dream.<\/p>\n

As for dining tables, MCM House\u2019s new Club Cabana has so many options to choose from. I love the rectangular orientation of the Bossi Rectangular Dining Table<\/a> and the detailing in the legs, but on the other hand, can\u2019t get over the colour and intrigue of the Olay Round Dining Table<\/a>. Decisions decisions.<\/p>\n

Of course, there\u2019s still decorations to consider, and while I haven\u2019t found the perfect artwork yet (which might call for a weekend walking around the galleries very soon), I did find this Louise Roe vase<\/a>, which I would pair with an iconic Dinosaur Designs Branch Bowl.<\/a><\/p>\n

I have a fair few entertaining-at-home affairs planned over the summer. Thus, I\u2019m making sure I\u2019m prepared now so I\u2019m not scrambling for tableware the days before. I really love the new ceramics at Saarde and I think this serving bowl is perfect<\/a> for what I need this summer. I love the pattern. I always use tablecloths over placemats when I have people around and I would really love this Maison Balzac sunprint<\/a> one or this elegant Cultiver<\/a> one for Christmas (hopefully Santa reads this?).<\/p>\n

I love this silverware set from Mesa Collections<\/a> for serving. I\u2019m down to my second last stick of this Aesop incense so I will top up<\/a>, it\u2019s my fourth box, I\u2019m addicted.<\/p>\n

And finally \u2013 not something I\u2019m buying as I own them \u2013 people always ask where I got my favourite black candle sticks from. I bought mine years ago, but you can get almost identical ones from Net-a-Porter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My mind has been on all things kitchen for homewares this month, which is hardly shocking, given hosting season. I was gifted this Fridays From The Garden<\/em> cookbook by Flamingo Estate<\/a> and I can genuinely say I haven’t been as excited by a cookbook like this in so long. This cookbook is my new favourite and I cannot wait to make my way through its recipes from now and into 2026.<\/p>\n

This Lobster Platter<\/a> and Hand Cake Server from Maison Balzac<\/a> are in my cart (obsessed), and this French Flax Linen Ruffles Table Cloth from I Love Linen<\/a> is a great base for holiday table scapes.<\/p>\n

These Gohar World Off-White Dove Salad Servers<\/a> are beautiful and are on my Christmas wishlist, along with Rachel Donath’s Grace Counter Stools<\/a>. And I am very excited for some luxurious holiday refreshments, courtesy of TENUTA SANT\u2019ANNA Prosecco Ros\u00e9 DOC<\/a>. Delicious.<\/p>\n

Outdoor festivities are the best festivities in my opinion, especially in Australian summer. I have these Nanoleaf outdoor lights<\/a> in the post, and will be hanging them in my backyard over my lawn \u2013 such a mood-setter for dinner parties.<\/p>\n

Lastly, this Mesa Tray – Forest Brown Marble<\/a> from RJ Living will be the new home for my keys. And I’m in need of a sofa bed that is chic and comfortable, so I’m looking at the Eva Slideaway Sofa Bed in Oatmeal<\/a>. Love that the fabrication is 100% french linen.<\/p>\n

To My Shops Of The Gods Hand Soap<\/a> \u2013 I recently visited Carnation Canteen in Fitzroy and they had this hand soap in the bathroom. I\u2019m not exaggerating when I say it was the best thing I\u2019ve ever smelled in my life.<\/p>\n

My current (cheap) set of cutlery is finally on its last legs after serving me well across multiple share houses \u2013 I\u2019m wondering if it\u2019s time to finally invest in my dream set of flatware from Sabre\u2019s Bistro collection<\/a>? Right now my apartment smells like Santa Maria Novella\u2019s Armenia Paper<\/a> \u2013 the perfect home scent and what The Row burn in their boutiques, in case you were wondering.<\/p>\n

And what home is complete without some vino to enjoy under its roof? Right now I\u2019m eyeing off this ‘Taste the Symphony’ Gift Pack by HandPicked Wines<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No doubt we\u2019re all seeking a sense of calm in the most chaotic month of the year. I\u2019m personally gravitating towards grounding colour palettes and little luxuries that soothe amidst the madness.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be ordering my favourite wine, Momento Mori from Winona Wines<\/a> – and maybe picking up a few stocking-stuffers from their Objects selection<\/a>. I\u2019m also a big fan of Mecca coffee in Paddington, so am planning to integrate their beans<\/a> into my daily ritual.<\/p>\n

Lee Mathews has the sweetest gifting edit<\/a> at the moment, and I\u2019m planning to treat myself to a simple oak pepper mill<\/a> and a new toothbrush<\/a> while I\u2019m there – instant elevation for the everyday.<\/p>\n

A few more things I’m eyeing – a Tanchen stool for the living room<\/a>, these frilly pillowcases<\/a>, and a ceramic candle from the Provider Store<\/a> (which you can have refilled or even turn into a mug, making it feel that little bit more special).<\/p>\n

How much are we all looking forward to some much needed time at home? This year has been so huge and whilst I want to adventure across the coast I am so in need of a short staycation and giving my home a little love. I would love to get an outdoor dining table so I can dine alfresco on those long hot nights. I have some steel furniture so Fleur Studio\u2019s SS-DIN03BR 100<\/a> could be the perfect addition, I tend to collect pieces when I see something I love, rather than invest in sets.<\/p>\n

I also need to use the break to get organised and this Mustard Made Midi Locker<\/a> would be great for hiding all the home office clutter that one needs but doesn\u2019t want to see after 6pm. Byredo\u2019s Bibliotechque<\/a> is my forever home fragrance, and I would love to have one burning by the bookcases all summer.<\/p>\n

My kitten and I have been in discussions. He is pushing that we get a sofa for him to luxuriate on, rather than just arm chairs. The Cameleonda<\/a> came up. However, it will most likely be me finding something strange at Lawsons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love this time of year\u2026summer and celebrations. With family and friends dropping by, there is always something to ‘cheers’ and I have my eye on these RIEDEL coupe glasses<\/a> which are perfect for cocktails, and for celebrating with some Dom P\u00e9rignon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

These Citta<\/a> beach towels retro vibe are going to look great with time spent by the pool. And speaking of retro vibes, I\u2019m loving this Jojo<\/a> lamp for the bedside. And it\u2019s probably a good time to refresh my dog Gus\u2019 bed, and this Henri dog bed<\/a> looks perfect for summer snoozing.<\/p>\n

December always becomes the month of hosting (which I love!) and with hosting comes the inevitable urge to elevate my tablescape. These serving plates from Dinosaur Designs<\/a> are my go to for entertaining or for a random \u2018girl dinner\u2019. I\u2019m also loving these Fazeek coupes<\/a>; they\u2019re not only perfect for the festive season but year round hosting alike.<\/p>\n

Lately I\u2019ve been on the hunt for new lighting, and this chrome lamp<\/a> feels like the perfect addition to my current style. I\u2019m equally obsessed with this chrome coffee mug<\/a> and this aluminium pepper mill<\/a>. These tiny upgrades make the everyday feel more considered. I\u2019ve also been intrigued by the idea of adding this cobalt blue rug<\/a> to my living room. Honestly, the fact that it is machine washable is a serious bonus.<\/p>\n

To round things out, I\u2019ve been wanting to elevate my evening routine from a little luxury from Lesse- this towel<\/a> and gua sha<\/a> are the perfect additions to my bathroom.<\/p>\n
