With a fresh new look and product additions, The Aromatherapy Company’s relaunched Smith & Co lifestyle and body care range is full of must-have items for your home.

2. Ceramic vases
One home item that seems to be trending more and more is the ceramic vessel. These beauties can hold flowers or foliage or simply look decorative on their own. Try grouping them on a bookshelf, sideboard or hall table for a fresh look. We love this Flint vase, $79.99 from nood.co.nz, and Jamae vessel, $44.95 from freedomfurniture.co.nz.
3. Flax bedlinen
New Zealand-based sisters Kate and Prue from Foxtrot Home have us super-excited about the release of their linen bedding range in kids’ bed sizes. This beautiful stonewashed flax bedlinen is made from 100 percent pure linen sourced from Europe, and is prewashed for extra softness.
Now anyone, big or small, can enjoy the lovely feel of linen with the whole Foxtrot range available in cot/bassinet, single and king single sizes, as well as queen, king and super king. Check out all the colours at foxtrothome.co.nz, where prices start from $25 for a cot/bassinet fitted sheet. (Photo: Ses & Jen)
