Things I Bought for My Home That Were 100% Worth the Money.
16
items From the 75-inch TV nobody technically needs to the inexpensive laundry rail I’ve used for over 10 years, these are the home purchases I’ll happily defend. 😂 Some save me time, some keep family life organised and some simply make my home look, smell...

Big-Ticket Buys Worth the Splurge
Quite possibly the best £400 I’ve spent on my home. It vacuums and mops at the same time and saves me so much time, especially with a pet.
Dreame Aero Pro Plus Mop and Vacuum Silver
I'm very fussy about coffee, so this was never going to be an appliance that sat untouched on the counter. My De'Longhi gets used all the time and makes that first coffee of the day feel like a little luxury. I'd definitely invest in a good coffee ma...
DeLonghi Magnifica Start Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine with Milk Frother for Hot and Iced Lattes, Coffee and More ECAM22022B
I know you don't technically need a fancy kettle, but I love home products that are useful and look good sitting out. My SMEG kettle ticks both boxes and works beautifully with the retro direction I love for a kitchen.
Smeg KLF03EGMUK 1.7L 3000W Kettle
Every time someone walks into our room, I get some version of “Holy God, any need for a TV that size?” 😂 Is a 75-inch TV necessary? Absolutely not. But it completely gives the room that cinema feel we wanted, and I love it. It was a splurge, but I’d...
TCL 75T6C-UK 75" QLED 4K HDR Fire TV 2025
This one is quite personal to me. I'd admired TWEMCO clocks for years because I've always loved art, interiors and retro design. When we moved, I knew I wanted little vintage-inspired elements mixed through our kitchen rather than making the whole ro...
Twemco QD-35 Flip Calendar Clock Retro Wall Desk Type 3 Colors New Japan
Kitchen Favourites I Use All the Time
I know its totally unacceptable to spend this much on a kettle and a toaster but you know what, i'm not sorry ! I have wanted one of these since I got into interior design many moons ago and I wish i had every Smeg item under the sun. But i also have...
Smeg 50’s Retro 1.7L Kettle & 4-Slice Toaster
“Stick it on the board” is practically a saying in our house. 😂 Ours has a cork side for letters and things I need to deal with, a whiteboard for reminders, and hooks for keys, umbrellas and whatever else needs a home that day. Even the boys use it....
Umtiti 60x90cm Whiteboard & Cork Board Combo
We’ve worked our way through a few air fryers over the years, and this is definitely my favourite. My mum bought us the Double Stack for Christmas after our side-by-side Ninja started taking over the counter. 😂 The drawers are surprisingly deep, it ...
Ninja Double Stack XL 9.5L 2-Drawer Air Fryer
I've only had this for about three months, but it replaced a hot chocolate maker I'd owned for years and it's already so much nicer to use. The removable frother makes cleaning really easy, it looks lovely sitting out, and we use it constantly. I esp...
Hotel Chocolat Velvetiser Iced & Hot Choc Pebble
I’m an old-school toastie maker fan and I will die on this hill — the edges need to be SEALED. 😂 I don’t want half the cheese escaping out the sides! My mum had a Breville when I was growing up that seemed to last forever, so when I wanted one for o...
Breville Deep Fill Toastie Maker 2-Slice VST082
Newhings That Make Home Life Easier Section
I’ve recommended this idea to so many people. Mine runs from the top of my washer and dryer towards the ceiling, giving me hanging space without taking up precious floor space. Clothes can air dry, creases can fall out and I don't end up with laundry...
Telescopic Clothes Rail, Extendable, 20kg Load
I bought these over 13 years ago when my eldest started nursery and came home with approximately 900 masterpieces a day. 😂 He'd choose which picture went in the frame, and changing it became our little routine — without me having artwork Sellotaped ...
2 Pack Kids A4 Art Frames Front Opening Black
I genuinely don't understand how people live with that massive empty gap under their sinks. 😂 I have these under every sink in our house — kitchen and both bathrooms. The two tiers make so much better use of the cupboard height and keep all my clean...
KOVIO 2-Tier Under Sink Organiser + Gloves
Little Luxuries That Make Home Nicer
If you haven't gathered by now, I love a gadget AND I love smelly things, so this was always going to be a winner. 😂 It plugs straight into the socket, so there's no diffuser taking up space on my counters, and I can control it from the app. I espec...
Pura Home Mini Smart Fragrance Diffuser
My employee actually bought me my first one because she was forever making me coffee while I was with clients…and I was forever forgetting about it. 😂 It keeps my coffee at the temperature I like, so I'm not constantly drinking cold coffee or making...
Nextmug Self-Heating Coffee Mug 415mL Burgundy
Before anyone thinks I make ridiculously expensive purchases — I WON THIS. 😂 I honestly never would have bought one for myself, but now I absolutely love it. When my friends come round, this thing is going all night. You add your spirits, pop in the...
