Geometrics and mathematics are the inspirations behind Pieter Stockmans ceramic designs, and they’re bang on trend this season.
Produced as part of Serax’s UnoDueTre Collection, the porcelain tableware is very distinctive in design, with its angled triangular handles.
The white teapot (which could double up as a coffee pot if you wish) and matching milk jug are sleek and contemporary, and both pieces are currently reduced in the sale at Selfridges.
The Pieter Stockmans teapot is now £21 (was £30) and milk jug is now £4 (was £6.95).

 Colourful dining furniture We love the idea of these modern gel dining chairs, especially the fact that you can so easily mix and match the colours.
There are eight different coloured chairs available – either opt for eight different shades, or pick a few favourites. The bright colours are lively and uplifting and ideal for lifting the feel in a neutrally decorated dining room.
They’re shown here paired with the contemporary Frost dining table. It’s made from glass and stainless steel for a sleek finish and is available as a six or eight seater option.
Both the chairs and dining table are available from John Lewis.

 Tank dining table set Investing in key pieces of furniture for your home can be an expensive business, but it helps a great deal to be able to buy quality, long-lasting furniture when it’s in the sale.
The Furniture Village sales are always a favourite (we spent months hankering after our dream sofa, trying it out repeatedly in store, then snapped it up during sale time), so it’s worth taking a look at their current sale offers.
We particularly like the look of this Tank white high gloss dining table, with its brushed stainless steel feet, as it looks perfect for a contemporary home.
The table is generously sized and can be extended, giving it the ability to seat up to 10 people.
The dining table comes with four plump chairs and you can choose between having four different coloured chairs, or selecting four of the same colour (red, purple, green, yellow, black or white). Alongside the white table, we rather like the splash of colour that the multi selection of chairs provides.
The Tank dining table and chairs set has £1000 off the original price, and an extra 10% discount currently available. There are more good discounted offers on a range of furniture available online and in store.

 Hexagonal tray We’re loving hexagonal designs at the moment and they seem to be everywhere in interior design and homeware products – have you spotted the hexagonal honeycomb decals on the walls in this year’s Apprentice house?
So when we found this hexagonal beehive tray at John Lewis, we couldn’t resist it!
The serving dish style tray is made up of seven mini hexagonal compartments. They each lift out, so that you can arrange the segment colours as you wish or use them independently if you don’t need to use the whole tray. It’s perfect for serving dips and nibbles with and is an attractive and eye-catching design.
The hexagonal beehive tray is yours for £45.

 Display sugar lumps in style! Okay, so it’s not the most essential of dining accessories, but you’ve got to admit it’s kinda quirky!
For tea parties, dinner parties or other celebrations, this white china sugar lump holder is bound to get noticed when it’s placed on your table.
Designed to look like a sugar lump itself, the china serving dish holds nine square sugar cubes. It even comes supplied with a set of Tate and Lyle’s famous sugar cubes, so you can it straight into action.
The sugar lump holder costs £18 from Bodie and Fou.

 Shiny salad bowl This lovely shiny bowl is made from aluminium and is crafted into a heart shape.
In theory it’s designed to be a salad bowl, but it would work equally well as a fruit bowl or simply used for decorative purposes in your home.
The aluminium metal salad bowl is sold by The Heart Store and costs £50.
Although we prefer to use heart-shaped home products in moderation, if you’re fond of all things hearty, then the Heart Store sell a variety of other heart related items – bizarrely, even a heart-shaped shower head!
