Six design-inspired Christmas presents

I love to find interior design-inspired Christmas presents from Bath’s wonderful independent shops. Here are six wonderful finds I hope you will love.

Turquoise and Brown Pavillion Chandelier

@namstore

This stunning chandelier is a present for someone very special! Created in Astier de Villatte’s Paris workshop, this exquisite chandelier, with a crystalline tinkle and thousands of pearls, tassels and flowers in glints of opaline and amber is available to order in four finishes including a beautiful turquoise and brown colourway. 

This chandelier of dreams will be available to order from Nam Store before Christmas. Nam is a tiny treasure trove in York Street that stocks Astier de Villatte along with a unique collection of beautiful objects d’art.

Old Havana Platter

Anthropologie

Anthropologie’s exclusive Old Havana collection brings rustic charm to your table. Artisan crafted in Portugal; each crackle-glazed platter has a luminous pink edging. These platters look like pieces you’d find in an antiques shop and their faded aged look will go with any style.

Anthropologie are known for their innovative interiors’ collections and the Bath store in on New Bond Street has a great collection on the first floor. You’re bound to find something colourful, quirky and unique!

Rust Chawley Pot

The White Company

Everyone loves a beautiful pot. The textured Chawley range of pots from The White Company are skilfully crafted from terracotta in Indonesia. Each pot is moulded, baked and finished with a black coating and then put back into the fire for a cracked, antiqued effect. They’re perfect statement pieces for shelf styling. 

The White Company on Northgate Street has plenty of beautiful gifts, including towels, bathrobes, candles and beautiful cashmere socks and scarves.  

Flowerpot Portable Rechargeable Lamp

Holloways of Ludlow

Designer Verner Panton’s iconic Flowerpot collection is reimagined in a portable table light that features a sleek, 60’s silhouette and a stunning range of colours and finishes. It is super lightweight, and you can use it indoors and outdoors. With an integrated dimmer and USB charging cable it is the perfect addition to any contemporary home.

Portable lights are huge in the interiors world so this would make the most beautiful gift for an interiors trend setter.

Holloways of Ludlow in Milsom Street are a family run business sourcing designs from the UK and Scandinavia. 

Royal Crescent Ceramic Mug

Home Front Interiors

A handmade Royal Crescent Ceramic Mug from local artist Wendy Calder featuring her pencil drawing of the iconic Royal Crescent would make a lovely gift for a friend who lives in Bath. There are two different Royal Crescent designs and one featuring the iconic Pulteney Bridge. Each mug is hand made on her potter’s wheel.

Homefront Interiors can be found in Margaret’s Buildings, a beautiful pedestrianised independent shopping street in Bath. It’s an independent homeware shop selling ethical, sustainable and artisan products for your home including home accessories, art and lighting.

Set of Sloane Cocktail Glasses

Neptune

Made in Poland from high-quality glass this set of cocktail glasses are mouthblown by skilled artisans and adorned with a hand-finished, colourful dotty design. They come in a gift box so make a ready-made present. No wrapping required!

Neptune is an interior’s concept store in the old Tram Shed in Bath on Walcot Street.

I hope this has given you some ideas for some stylish interiors Christmas presents.
