Although design is a subjective thing with one mans great design being another’s trash , there are somethings which are just so simple they have to be given their 15 seconds of fame.

This white cross medicine cabinet is one such thing, it looks great has a simple yet bold design and may even help make you feel better.

The white cross medicine cabinet is available from purves.co.uk for £48.00

I really like the homeware department at Matalan you can walk in and pick anything up and know you don’t really have to look at the price before you decide to buy as everything is such great value.  This is not to say that it has no style, as can be seen from this Venetian tissue box (£8.00)  simple clean design to hold your tissues.

For some homeware is all about designer furniture for me though it’s more about using what is available and affordable to cerate a unique home for yourself, so there is nothing wrong with mixing your Matalan with your designer bling.

In the age of being a fit, lean mean fighting machine any serious about looking after themselves needs some gadgets to measure how their latest fitness / healthy eating regime is getting along. As the name suggests the equilibrium bathroom scale goes beyond just measuring your weight, it can measure your body fat content and water content. Although made from plastic it still looks great and can store the measurements of upto 4 people.  You can buy this from Heals at a cost of £60.00 just make sure you don’t use if it you are pregnant or have a pace maker.

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is world famous for it’s TV / Radio programs but not it’s homeware. Now if the truth be told I didn’t even know the BBC had a shop let alone a section of said shop dedicated to homeware. Well it does and you can see for yourself and in the shop I found this little treat.

For all Doctor Who fans this Cyberman AM/FM radio will be a great addition to the geek collection , and best of all it’s made for the shower so you will never have to be without Doctor who. It’s magic trick is eyes that light up when switched on , and how is this possible well “because of the unique way the BBC is funded by you ” .

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.

Trendy, chic and made from bamboo, this set of soap dish and dispenser bring a sense of the tropics to your bathroom. At £4.99 and £7.99 each from Sainsburys (selected stores only) they needn’t make a hole the size of a rain forest in your pocket either.
