Although summer might seem a world away right now, Habitat's latest collection with the iconic Sanderson design house and the beloved charity National Trust is here to prepare us for sunnier days.
When it comes to hosting a memorable dinner party, even the smallest touches are important and that starts with your tableware. Habitat clearly had this in mind when partnering with Sanderson and National Trust on their latest collection.
From the intricate designs of the padded placements to the utterly chic glassware, there's not one piece in the range that hasn't been thoughtfully designed and artfully crafted.
Habitat x Sanderson & National Trust collection
When it comes to stunning yet affordable homeware, Habitat is always ahead of the game – the Habitat x Morris & Co. collaboration is a fine example of this. This time their collection, which is available in Sainsbury's stores and online at Habitat.co.uk is a balance of the dopamine decor trend and the charming influences of the English countryside.
With over 60 exclusive pieces, the collection is primarily inspired by the beloved designs and flora found in National Trust properties as well as Sander's extensive pattern archive.
"The collection encapsulates the beauty of British heritage while reimagining traditional designs for today’s homes, underpinned by Habitat’s commitment to quality and affordability," says Hannah Mallett, director of products for Habitat.
Whilst the homely stylistic approach of the campaign is certainly stirring up some of our favourite cottage garden ideas, it's not just delicate patterns dominating the range.
From hand-blown colourful glassware to minimalist stoneware crockery, each piece feels unique. Along with its undeniable beauty, there's a distinct air of versatility to this collection with every item designed to complement a variety of different interior styles. Whether that's traditional or something more contemporary like the maximalism decor trend.
Claire Vallis, Sanderson Design Director explains, "Habitat have taken our iconic designs and patterns and created wonderfully useable, everyday products for this collection. The patterns and colours work beautifully, so well designed and crafted, adding a sense of occasion and a touch of nostalgia to the everyday."
With pastel stripes, ruffles, foliage patterns and bold prints Habitat has brought the joy of the warmer seasons to our homes with prices only starting at £2.25.
And it's not just the aesthetics the brands have prioritised, Hannah says, "We're also proud that four per cent of the retail selling price goes to the National Trust charity which helps care for nature, beauty, and history, for everyone, forever."
So when you're shopping ahead for a spring and summer full of garden parties, dinner guests and drinks on the patio, you can also know you're helping our country's wildlife too.
