Having spent the weekend cutting grass, trimming hedges then blowing up with hayfever, my focus turned to sprucing up the inside of my house, and with that came a couple of hours perusing the type of websites that not only sell nice clothes, but also nice things for the home.
One such retailer with an appreciation for all things nice is SEVEN Store, who stock not just the best in contemporary menswear but lots of items for the homes of people who are into said clothing.
Anyway, I’ve put a list together that you might want to have a look at ahead of the inevitable autumn dip, when the big jackets come back down and those balmy evenings spent in the garden are no more. In their stead comes a need to make the home somewhere calm, inspiring and comfy. Here’s some items that might help with that.
Mr Maria Smiley Lamp XL
This big version of the squashy, kind of inflatable lamp no home should be without is the sort of thing that’d probably make the dog go a bit crazy until he realises it’s not for playing with.

Tekla Fabrics Organic Bath Towel
Not bothered what you say, the ownership of a comfy, cosy towel is the type of luxury all grown ups deserve to indulge themselves with. Like underpants, towels have a hierarchy, with favoured versions signifying a low key treat or a special occasion. Seriously. That’s how it is for me anyway.

Malin and Goetz Strawberry Candle
Despite sounding like a European DJing duo, or perhaps two of Austria’s back four, Malin and Goetz make seriously nice scented candles.

Human Made Heart Cushion
Home is quite literally where the heart is with this Human Made heart-shaped cushion. Toss it onto that massive sofa you paid loads for, in amongst all the massive pillow-sized cushions. It’ll stand out. Nice.

Human Race Routine Pack
From Human Made to Human Race, this trio of suave looking cylinders each hold an important part of any modern man’s everyday regime. Created by Pharrell Williams this range is designed to to keep your face in tip top nick for those days when you need to impress.

Carhartt Script Pulltapes Corkscrew
Looking like some sort of mechanical crocodile, this bottle opener is one of those items Carhartt have no business doing well, but often, somehow, they do.

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm
Perhaps the most indulgent of all the items on this list, it’s here for a reason. You’ve not felt luxury until you’ve sampled this gear.
