4. Sculptural vessels
The rise of the perfect floral arrangement is upon us, and with that comes the search for the ideal vessel to display it in. Recently, homewares brands have been turning to more sculptural and geometric shapes that have replaced the plain glass vase and act as a piece of art when not in use.

5. Ceramic plates
You've no doubt seen the word 'ceramic' pop up throughout almost every design blog as of late, and we're here to say that the ceramic trend shows no sign of slowing down. Besides, what screams summer more than this beautiful Italian plate by Alex and Trahanas?

6. Line paintings
Simple yet ever-intriguing, line paintings could just be the most trendy homeware item of 2019. Unless you count the travertine coffee table craze. Anyway, a way to put a beautiful spin on this type of art is to incorporate deep blue tones to make the figures really pop. We think we'll be seeing these on your walls this summer for that breezy vibe everyone is looking for in the sunnier months.

7. Busts
We can't get enough of Italy and Greece right now (or ever). Short of booking ourselves on the next Airbus out of here, this summer homeware is sure to add a European flair to summer this year. Think prolific Greek and Roman gods and goddesses immortalised in striking blue shades.

9. Velvet sofa
Velvet, in all its luxurious glory, has been a mainstay in homewares for a few years now, first creeping its way in with plush cushions before exploding on to the scene with a bang, with armchairs and sofas becoming the latest items to benefit from the silky soft treatment. Move over grey sectional, it's time to amp things up for summer.
