Loro Piana's latest homeware pieces speak volumes about the ongoing trend for quiet luxury. In addition to super soft cashmere pillows and blankets, the line features this chic cashmere basket, £2,190. The oval shape and high edges are crafted from cashmere felt on a contrasting calfskin base. As for the supple leather straps, besides adding a touch of understated luxury, they make it easy to move the basket from room to room. Perfect for those unexpected visits from friends when you need something to hide away piles of books, papers and more before they walk through the door.
Created by Hermès Studio, the bold Ithaque design that features on the front of this sumptuous pillow, £680, takes its name from the Ionian island said to have been the home of the fabled Greek hero, Ulysses. With this in mind, it's clear to see the outline of Ionic columns, synonymous with ancient Greek temples. Meticulously made in Italy, the pillow features a removable cover in jacquard-woven wool and cashmere, all finished in a perfect blanket stitch.
Why stop at your wardrobe when it comes to springtime florals? The new-season home collection from Dior is a lesson in refined elegance.

Top picks include this ceramic dinner plate with a rose motif at its centre, £160. Elsewhere, the embroidered placemat and napkin set, £350, is made from 100 per cent linen and features beautiful lily of the valley-embossed flowers in homage to the house founder's lucky flower. With pieces like these, there's no reason not to throw that long-overdue dinner party.
Asprey's Beverly Hills water jug, £960, from the British lifestyle brand's current glassware collection, would look just as at home on a poolside table as it would sitting beside the cucumber sandwiches in an English country garden. Crafted through a multi-stepped sandblasting process, this mouth-blown, lead-free crystal jug features a vibrant emerald-green hue and a finely detailed banana leaf design. There's also plenty of scope to complete this coveted collection with the addition of the Beverly Hills tumbler, £255, highball glass, £300, and elegant martini glass, £335. Cheers!
This tactile, ribbed-glass candle holder, £395, has been specially designed for Diptyque by Paris-based product and interior design studio Jean-Marc Gady. Torch-blown from borosilicate glass (noted for its complete transparency and beautiful white gleam), the candle holder’s curved surface grooves give it a strong sculptural edge. Designed to fit medium and large candles, including Diptyque's perennial bestsellers Figuier, Baies and Roses, you can't help but be seduced by the soft, golden glow of the glass once the wick is lit.
Finally, the humble tea towel gets a fashionable makeover courtesy of Burberry in its latest home collection.

Made in Italy from a linen and cotton blend, the two-piece set also includes a handy plain tea cloth, woven with a Burberry logo banner and cutlery motif to give your silverware and glasses an extra polish before you get stuck in.
