These Alder wood and Juniper Salad servers come spatulas are handmade from a fully sustainable and managed resource.

Before you start thinking “they are just salad servers” they well may be but they show that eco doesn’t have to be bland , or boring and can be practical too.

Retro seems to be the new Modern with everything going retro, from motorcycle helmets to homeware. This retro radio alarm clock is a great example of mixing the modern with the old.  Using retro design with a modern digital clock and radio you get best of both words.

It looks great from the front or the back.

This great design won’t cost you the earth either you can pick one up for £22.95 from Ochigo.co.uk who also have a great variety of other clocks in both retro or modern design.

Has there been an easier way to chop garlic then just rolling the Garlic Zoom over the top of your kitchen counter a bit like a toy car? I think not! The simplicity of this little device is perfect for easily chopping garlic on demand and it looks great too.

Simply load it with garlic and pull it back and forward a few times and you have an end product with very little fuss and no extra mess.

You can lay your hands on one of these from the colloco.co.uk website for £7.95. It was a really hard decision to pick this out from the site as there were so many other great products for sale, colloco.co.uk is a bright, funky yet functional website worth  definite look.

There has to be a mention to the designers of the product chef’n who’s mantra of Tasteful Ingenuity comes through on this product, some other great designs on the site too.

This is not the first time we have featured Salt and Pepper shakers on homecheeq, before you think it we are not obsessed by them.  This set is handmade in Stoke-on-Trent , and in keeping with Stoke’s past the outcome is a beautiful ceramic product.

We all like to lay back a little and even though the summer is almost drawing to a close , there are still a few weeks for you to lay back and enjoy that summer feeling.

The thing with summer is that it is best enjoyed when totally relaxed, so to get you in that mood this giant cushion from Suffolk based Runaway Coast. The cushion measures 150cm x 150cm and is made from 100% cotton, whats more the covers are fully machine washable.

You can get more information from the Runaway Coast website and if you want one it will cost you £95.00

I love a good old cuppa and who doesn’t? well ok there may be a few people out there that don’t like a cup of tea. The worst time of day is in between cups of tea especially in the morning. So the best way to remind yourself of the fragrance of your favorite cuppa is to use this Tea scented candle.

So the only smell is not tea , but this Black Tea candle has a rich and dark scent of musk, bergamot, pine and tea. That sounds lovely to me.  I wonder if they do one with milk and two sugars.

The candle complete with holder and a burning time of 40 hours can be yours for £18.00 from Utility Design

At Homecheeq we like to bring you a vast array of products that we think are great.  They could range from the everyday homeware store type products to something truly unique like this chandelier from Tigermoth Lighting

The chandelier is made up of hundreds of individual strands of black oxidized chain, which according to the website means it can cast a hundred different shadows which are never the same due to the nature of the chains moving in the breeze.

It sure does look good and can be custom made in 6 weeks if you are willing to part with £1,498.00 – £1,698.00 depending on the size of product you want.

Wall Art is never easy to produce, a simple framed image can do the trick but it has to be right for the room.  So to see some variety in wall art is always nice.

Metallic flowers may not be for all rooms but I am sure this wall art from All Rosy will add a great deal to a rustic interior. I would go as far as to say that it could work with almost any interior , even the minimalist if it is used right.

All for a mere £18.00 from the All Rosy website.
