Faux plants are back on trend

Carol O’Callaghan reviews Penneys spring home collection. The Botanica range of accessories offers everything from faux plants to natural colourways.

Faux plants are trending, especially succulents, as they’re maintenance-free and won’t challenge the less green-fingered (€3).

This little bulb lamp cites industrial styling with a warm wooden finish. Perfect for small spaces or where some gentle light is needed (€7).

For outdoor illumination when sitting in the garden, this wicker lantern is easy to carry and can even be hung from a tree branch (€15).

For a hit of summer, the Mint & Sage candle offers fresh fragrance while we wait for better weather (€4).
