This great piece of design and convenience comes from Denmark, there is nothing like Scandinavian elegance when it comes to modern contemporary design. The herb ladder as it is called allows you to fill the porcelain pots with herbs or even tea lights. If you opt for the herb option you can have fresh herbs at hand for your cooking and add to the greenery in your home at the same time. There is nothing to say that you must place this ladder in your dining room , I think it would look great in the living space (living room to you and me ) too.

If you don’t want herbs in your pots , use tea lights to give a glowing feel at night somewhere in the hallway may look great, but anywhere would do.

The best part of all of this is the cost just £27.99 at Stylish Life.

We featured a funky salt and pepper shaker as one of the first posts on Homecheeq.com, I did think to myself how much could you do with the simple process of putting salt or pepper onto your food. Well this flexi shaker has taken the art of salt and pepper shaking to a new level.

You store the salt and pepper in the flexible tubes and when you want to use them you can unravel the tubes and simply shake onto your food from the ends of the tubes. There is no one set way of doing this and I think the flexible tubes will have everyone using them differently.

If you love the whole Middle Eastern ethnic look of your lanterns then you will love this too, the Tabriz lantern from The Pier has all the classic feel of the East. It’s flowing Eastern shape offset by the colorful center of the lantern gives it a great genuine feel.

So next time you light a candle just think how much better it would look lighting up one of these.

Just like with people there are some homeware products which a great all rounders , good at everything and anything they do.  This bread basket is one such thing, although sold as  bread basket and no one can argue it wouldn’t do a great job as one , it can be used all around the home.

Found at an website with a great name Sunflower At home at just £6.99 this is a great item to have around the home.

Recycling is the ‘in’ thing these days, everything is being recycled and homeware is no different. The simplest way to recycle homeware would be to go to the charity shop and pick up a bargain in the process. However Tangkoko have come up with a better solution, they do all the donkey work and get recycled materials and then make stunning homeware products and furniture with the recycled material.

This driftwood effect photoframe is actually made from recycled and aged hardwood and really caught my eye on the Tangkoko site. There are so many great products on the site that I had a hard time deciding which to blog about, I’m sure we will have more products on the blog in times to come.

The ways of decorating your home are changing, gone are the days when the only thing you put on your wall was wallpaper and a picture of the children. Now there is a whole new level of style you can add to your home with wall hangings.  You could say that they take up the middle ground between photos and art work for your walls.  This beautifully hand crafted tapestry complete with hanging pole is just one great example of the kind of wall hangings out in the market place, this one was over at The Pier for £52.00

For those of you who don’t know what a ‘Moorcroft’ is , he was an art nouveau designer of pottery who lived opened his own factory in 1912 in Stoke-on-Trent, UK.  This vase is a classic example of Moorcroft who’s original factory still produces vases today.  Of course with a classical piece of design comes a price tag of £480.00, which if you have the money isn’t too much for nearly a hundred years of history stooped in Moorcroft’s products.

We have all wanted to prop a door open at some point in our homes, especially if you have toddlers who roam from one room to the next, it’s just makes sense not to keep getting up to open and close doors. However when you think of a door stop you think of that rubber wedge that you put under the door, or the rubber stops you screw into the floor to stop doors hitting the wall.

If you want to stop your doors and be really ‘trendy’ then look no further than the Just Original wheat filled sack as a door stop. It stands just 15cm tall and therefore isn’t that big at all and will help either prop doors open or stop them.

Handcrafted from Thai solid Mango wood, these set of vases, bowls and decorations from panopoly.co.uk are stunning. For all those of you who love a wooden mantle piece or home decorations, these will really make a corner of a room stand out. The wood they are from is due to cutting down of Mango trees and the makers claim that it is a better use for the trees rather than to just let them burn.

There is one thing that is certain in the world of homeware, every home needs towels.  They are an essential part of the daily routine. A walk along the isles of any homeware section of a store will have you staring at rows and rows of neatly stacked towels in all their various colours. It can be quite mundane.

That cannot however be said of the designs of Cath Kidston, with bold prints adorning her entire range. These bath towels are no different with large floral prints really bringing what is essentially a boring part of your home alive.
