Home Storage

Bed linen, home textiles such as towels, curtains and cushions, decor, kitchen and dining pieces, bathroom accessories, storage, lighting and furniture.

Start with the measurements. A duvet cover and a fitted sheet have to match the bed, and common European sizes differ from UK and US ones. Then look at the weave: percale feels crisp and cool, sateen smoother. For towels, check the weight.

The same piece often costs different amounts at different shops. Each product page here lists the shops that carry it, with price and stock, so you can pick the lowest price that is in stock.

Bedding and towels are mostly cotton, sometimes linen or a blend. Tableware is stoneware, porcelain or glass. Decor and furniture come in ceramic, glass, metal and wood.

Follow the label. Cotton bedding and towels wash warm and soften with use, and towels lose absorbency if you use fabric softener on them. Glazed stoneware is usually dishwasher-safe; hand-painted and unglazed pieces often are not.
