Cute, colourful and convenient, we love these Ashley Thomas fruit bowls available at Debenhams for €16 for the set of three.

Have a peek at these beautiful products from Kildare design company, Sam agus Nessa. The brand is the brainchild of a very creative couple called, you’ve guessed it, Sam and Nessa. We’re talking contemporary, functional furniture and homewares and even better, everything is made with locally-sourced Irish materials. Each piece is made by hand individually in their workshop.

Anything that uses Cork as a pun has my attention. This cool Cork Boy range is created by Kinsale native Martin Horgan who is part of the Craftek co-op in Tramore Road, Cork. A chef turned designer. Martin describes it as “a line of spatulas and butter knives that utilise lightweight, renewable materials and provide a natural feel”. The exciting news is that a further line of Craftek furniture and lighting is in development. See craftek.co for more. (Picture: Christian Haubold)

We’re weak for wallpaper at the moment, they’re some really nice designs out there. Check out this Helleborus design from Farrow & Ball and the woodwork is pitch blue no 220 Estate Eggshell. Don’t they go well together? Helleborus is priced €148 for a 10m roll and the Estate Eggshell is priced €32 for 750ml, they are available in various stockists including Pat McDonnell Paints and at eu.farrow-ball.com

This beautiful bowl is called Vortex and it was the winner of the RDS Craft Awards 2017 — Established Maker of Excellence, California Gold Medal and Ceramics Category Winner. Created by Gráinne Watts, who works mainly with porcelain and stoneware clays, and says she uses “layers of vibrant underglazes and slips to create interesting surface detail”.
