While shower curtains are pretty much the worst decorative thing about most bathrooms, if you have to have one, you now have a pretty good alternative to the requisite white. ‘The Narlai’ Canvas Shower Curtain looks like a geometric quilt that you’d put on your bed, and that’s exactly its inspiration. Think of it as a rugged-sail-meets-American-quilt and you’ve got its design aesthetic pegged.

This cute little Mushroom Lamp hides an iPhone dock in its base. How handy is that? I’d say it would be perfect beside your bed or desk, as it gives you a place to charge your phone along with an ambient light for reading or working. Plus, it’s smart how you only see the docking station when you flip it over… when it is in its upright ‘lamp only’ position, the dock is hidden.

Another French Press coffee maker? Yawn. But, wait! This one has a double walled glass body to help keep your coffee hot, plus a cork stopper and a pour spout with absolutely no branding or colors (that I can see) on its body to interrupt your morning reverie and/or kitchen color scheme. The simplicity is hard to beat, no?

If your current salt & pepper situation is not appropriate for the dinner table, then maybe you need to grow up a teensy bit and buy some nice shakers. These shakers (solid maple salt shaker and solid walnut pepper shaker) have solid brass screw in caps that add a superb touch to an otherwise very minimal tabletop accessory.

A cork flashlight! Now, that’s a good idea for boaters or anyone that loves taking baths in thunderstorms. Cork floats, of course, so there’ll be no losing this light in water. Plus, the cork adds a warmth and softness to an otherwise usually cold and metal tool. Bright LEDs will shed plenty of light out on the water or staying in at home.

Any discerning coffee aficionado will occasionally turn their attention to a new and clever coffee dripper, especially if it appears simple and elegant. The Gaze is certainly that, as it’s made up of two double walled glass pieces; one houses the coffee and filter while the other catches your brew. The process is entirely visible, which hopefully will add to your enjoyment rather then your impatience.

Geometric wooden hooks? Sure, sign us up, for they’ll hold hats and bags aplenty, all while giving an “optical illusion of an isometric cube.” There are several color options, so the hard part will be figuring out which hues works best… or go for minimal light grey if you’re not so fond of contrasting colors.

What to do with your 45s? Well, if you possess plenty of money, might I suggest storing them in this particular record case?

If you or someone you love is challenged in the olfactory department, there’s no need to despair. This Livada Fragrance Vase will help enhance your sense of smell, thanks to its glass bell enclosure. A small hole at the top concentrates fragrances, so that you may enjoy the fragrant wafts of flowers (or whatever else you should so choose). Alternatively, this vase could be the answer to your ‘my-pet-always-eats-plants’ woes.

Yep, you can get the New York Times in a puzzle. Chances are you’ll want to commemorate a special date- you’ll be able to get any front page since 1851- so have a think about which day you’ll choose. Maybe it’s a birthday or anniversary, or maybe it’s the day someone special got a promotion or graduated. Maybe bookmark it for a future gift?

It’s here. The Samsung Serif TV by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec is available to purchase. Are you going to put your name on the waitlist? I’m sure some of us are tempted, for the Bouroullec brothers have chosen to increase the depth of their flatscreen by adding a bottom and top shelf, thus creating more of an object at home amongst our things than a boring, thin, run-of-the-mill black box.

These small wood vessels are intended for tabletop use, as their lids are carved to allow for a small sampling of spices. Their sides are also cut at an angle so that you may place them either at a vertical or horizontal position. Considering their size and placement option, I bet you could also find a use for them in the office or bathroom, for paperclips or bath salts perhaps?

Well, here’s a paper pad that makes me wish I had more notes to take. Each Ito Bindery Memo Block contains 350 tear-off sheets, and, with three modular sizes to choose from, you can combine or stack them as you wish. A recycled paperboard base gives stability and weight.

Why, yes, we have featured the Tubelor Grande Trash Bin before (back in 2013). But the Rosewood version is new, and can we just take a moment to appreciate how pretty it is? A pretty trash can- you certainly don’t see one of those everyday. The design of the bin is made up of two parts: a decorative outer lid and the inner liner which holds the plastic bag. The result is a clean, streamlined look that would fit well within any room.
