Ready to refresh your home for spring? From playful ceramics to fruity lighting, this season’s collaborations and collections are all about letting the sunshine in.

These coveted homewares will add colour and pattern to your space while giving it a stylish lift.

Shake up your lighting

Hum London’s perforated Juno lampshades have become a design-world favourite. The latest colour drop introduces very of-the-moment shades: paper-bag brown, chocolate brown, Seville orange and denim blue (from £68, humlondon.com).

Italian designer Marcantonio’s collaboration with Seletti puts fruit and veg in the spotlight and we are here for it. Shaped like aubergines, lemons and carrots, these sculptural pieces double as art and lighting (from £119, selfridges.com).

Another collaboration for your radar is the Selene Collection of rechargeable lamps by garden designer Pollyanna Wilkinson and lighting specialists Heathfield & Co (from £595, heathfield.co.uk).

Meanwhile, thrifters are snapping up a vintage Ikea ice cube lamp released in the 1990s. Fast forward to 2025 and it is lighting up Instagram (We spotted one on eBay for £65 but prices are creeping up).

Morris & Co prints are having a moment. Totter + Tumble’s hugely popular playmats include some in the signature Morris patterns; they are practical but stylish enough to leave out after playtime (£160, johnlewis.com).
