Wish list: The metallic trend

Esther N McCarthy picks crisp white linen, pink petal scents and bold, brass pendants.

I’m adoring this quirky pineapple cake stand. A cake is a marvellous thing, plop one on this and it transforms it to a work of art. Mmmmm, art.. with cream. €58.50 from M&S nationwide.

Keeping the metallic trend front and centre is this hammered gold vase, €90 from Harvey Norman.

Check out this pretty ensemble from Neptune. The Egyptian cotton Harriet Oxford pillow cases (set of two), €50. Castlefield stripe throw in mustard €260, Croft cable knit throw in Grey Oak €115, and the Florence scatter cushion in Hector Fossil, €84.

See www.neptune.com for Irish stockists.

Irish candle makers, Max Benjamin, have added a new fragrance to their collection. This Almalfi diffuser comes in an aqua Italian glass and very pretty, baroque style packaging. €32.95 from Kilkenny Shop and www.maxbenjamin.ie

My monochrome moment this week is courtesy of this funky cobra candle holder by Georg Jensen, it cost €171.50 from Amara and that’s for a set of three.

Finding the right lighting is so hard. I’m always on the look out for cool options. Next have this Cadorna pendant in stores at the moment, €59.

Another bright idea for lighting up your home is this Navigator pendant lamp from Cuckooland. €152, you can check them out at www.cuckooland.com
