Working from home went from a temporary result of the pandemic to a way of life.

To streamline the process for you, we put together a list of work-from-home essentials that will upgrade your workspace and (hopefully) make your life a tiny bit easier. See our picks below.

The 3 Real Challenges of WFH

It used to be called “telecommuting”. Already the term sounds archaic and has been rapidly displaced by the broader “Work from Home (WFH)” phrase that caught fire in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. Businesses all over the world have been experimenting with telecommuting for decades, but the pandemic has woken them up to the fact that it need not remain an experiment.  A Practitioner’s View Sujoy Chatterjee, VP of Infrastructure Services at ITC Infotech, says, “WFH can be a wider reality, resulting in interesting, pleasant and desirable upsides. Forward-thinking CIOs and business leaders are already working on long term strategies to support a distributed workforce, not just for full-time employees, but for part-time employees as well.” One such leader Sujoy is working with is Sibus...

36 of the Best Candles to Make Your Home Smell Incredible

While the days are gradually beginning to stretch, we still find ourselves looking for new ways to cosify our homes. And nothing can bestow your rooms with hygge appeal quite like scented candles. Let’s be honest: If there was ever a time for bringing a little extra zen into our households, it’s probably now as we see out what is (hopefully) the last leg of lockdown. Needless to say, it’s challenging to separate your work and home spaces or switch off your mind when you need to, something that is made all the more difficult with the dark nights. But something simple like lighting your favourite candle can be an easy way to change the vibe of a room and get you to that happy place. We all have our little routines, whether it’s having a daily bubble bath or doing an ...

While the days are gradually beginning to stretch, we still find ourselves looking for new ways to cosify our homes to see out the final weeks of winter.

Let’s be honest: If there was ever a time for bringing a little extra zen into our households, it’s probably now as we’re hunkering down (in more ways than one).

How to Make Your Home Look So Expensive On a Budget

“Materials like wood and stone have a natural warmth to them, rarely look inexpensive, and tend to look better as they age. Avoid obvious synthetics and plastics at all costs,” says Evans. This is something Chelsea agrees with, too. “I’ve found mixing and layering textures always looks premium,” she shares. “I love marble with wood, velvet with bouclé, and smooth surfaces with rough stone.” You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

We Think These Luxury Candle Brands Are Worth Spending a Little Extra On

Unlike some bargain wicks, which, when the burn, smell like someone has sprayed an entire can of orchid Febreze, the scent of expensive candles is more subtle, but no-less potent. Instead of choking the air, it floats on it. I also find that, with the recommended care and maintenance, that expensive candles last significantly longer, too. The premium products used to create the wax are designed to be longer lasting than more affordable blends, and while I have my high-street favourites, I buy them knowing they won’t, um, hold a candle, many of the high-end options I’ve tried. I don’t fully subscribe to the saying “you get what you pay for” but, when it comes to the below, it certainly applies. Keep scrolling to see and shop the best expensive candles from...

All the Homeware Pieces I Love Come in These Three Colours

If you’ve ever browsed a paint catalogue, then you’ll know the existential crisis that comes from having to decide between five shades of white that are totally indiscernible from each other and have names like “Savage Ground” and “Mole’s Breath.” This is the situation I found myself in at the end of 2020 as I moved into my new flat and was confronted with the task of choosing a new colour scheme and the accompanying homeware paraphernalia. Do I go maximalist with primary brights everywhere or stick to Scandi neutrals? Do I even bother with a “scheme” and embrace a more haphazard approach? It was hard to know where to start.  But over many weeks of scrolling and pinning, I found that there we...

If You Love H&M Home, You’ll Love These Affordable Interiors Brands

Once a market solely dominated by a certain multinational Swedish brand, the world of affordable interiors is one that has blown up over the last few years, in no small part thanks to the aesthetic aspirations of Instagram. Suddenly, the average person’s living space has the potential to accrue them followers in their thousands, and in turn, put them on the map in a way that only interior magazines could do in the past.  High-street brands have wholeheartedly jumped on the interiors bandwagon—think H&M, Zara and French Connection Home—in order to provide style-conscious millennials with a way to beautify their homes without the four-figure price tag. Other smaller offerings, such as Rose & Grey and Audenza, have also followed, and now c...

I Can’t and Won’t Stop Buying Vases—Here Are My Favourites

It used to be shoes but now my shopping weakness is vases. Has Covid-era claustrophobia just morphed into a kind extreme nesting where only ceramics can comfort me? Am I now—gasp—old? Or do I just simply have enough shoes and need to move onto something with almost no limit on what’s an appropriate amount to own? It may well be a combination of the three, in addition to the fact that my footwear requirements have really been filtered down to comfy, comfier and comfiest: Flat boots, trainers and slippers are all in constant rotation. But either way, the vase obsession is real; I’m constantly repinning all sorts of pieces and I really don’t discriminate. Vintage, sculptural, minimalist, kitsch, and artsy styles are all littering my (privat...
