Danish Furniture Click dining chair, $518, from Shop Your Home and Garden

This may technically be an outdoor chair, but why wouldn’t you also want it inside? It provides excellent lumbar support for my bad back and is a riot of colour against a sea of white interiors.

The Trading House Flower Garden coir doormat, $51.90, from Shop Your Home and Garden

Just because an item needs to be practical doesn’t mean it can’t be pretty. This doormat would look beautiful on a villa verandah with a statement colour front door.

Biroix Cast iron pan, $174, from Shop Your Home and Garden

I love this shade of yellow! This pan makes cooking up the evening meal a happy event, no matter how rushed I am. The extra pan depth is a great bonus too.

Loomwares Loom Cashmere merino throw, $245, from Shop Your Home and Garden

I love how this rich colour looks just effortlessly flung over the back of a sofa — although considering how drafty my Auckland villa is, this throw is becoming more and more essential come evening time. Did I mention it’s cashmere merino?

This decal wallpaper would be a gorgeous feature backdrop for a nursery. It’s simple to apply and doesn’t leave a messy residue, so it’s perfect for someone like me who avoids DIY at all costs.
