5 Homeware Buys That Are Perfect For Summer

It's mid-summer, people, and here at RSG, we're making the most of that sunshine vibe! And while there are always gorgeous new pieces to pore over, there's a handful of seasonal beauties in particular that make such a regular appearance in our summer tableaus, it feels rude not to mention them here. 

So, without further ado, then, let us introduce...

These gorgeous glass water bottles have become the stand-out stars of the summer, and it's easy to see why. Elegance personified, the ribbed detailing of these hand-crafted pieces, coupled with the beautifully understated colours, makes them a super-sophisticated addition to any table. Not only do they look a million dollars, they're also the sustainable choice (and we can't lie - we're not missing the idea of plasticky chemicals in our aqua, either). The perfect addition to your summer table, whether you're entertaining inside or out, watch how the light dances off the glass and glints off the solid stainless silver stopper. From fridge to table, these keep your water cool and fresh, and your styling credentials through the roof. 

Feeling nibblish? We have just the thing. There's an Italiana chic vibe rocking the RSG casa this summer, and we can't recommend it highly enough. Serve up your finest nuts, crisps and olives in these beautiful fruity-themed bowls, which are glazed in the rich colours of summer and finished with a pop of glamourous gold. We love these on our summer tables, but of course, they're a treat for all seasons. And because we don't really believe in saving things 'for best' (use all the pretty things all the time! Life is short!) these regularly make an appearance on a Friday night for movie time. Your home, your rules - if you like these for your morning cereal, you go right ahead, you Kellogg's Kid, you.

Water or wine, whatever you sup this summer, sup in style. These vintage-style glasses feature beautifully ornate detailing and come in a kaleidoscope of delicate colours that make for a lively table at any time of day. Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, these make you feel like the king or queen you are, and truly celebrate the pleasure of shared moments. Why not match your glass to your mood - go with pink for those loved-up moments, or celebrate a burst of happiness with a cheery yellow vessel. Bottoms up - this one's on us. 

Calling all dinky dunkers! These cute little dipping bowls make the perfect addition to your table, no matter what style of feast you're planning. Alternatively, fill with olives, nuts or cubes of your favourite cheese and nibble to your heart's content. We love to display these on a kitchen shelf when they're not being deployed on foody duties - stack 'em, or fill with your favourite trinkets (or crystals, for all those witches and wizards out there). Little pops of gorgeousness right there. 

A world without wires is a wonderful thing - no irritating cables spoiling your beautifully- crafted outdoor tablescape, or snaking through the house to create a nest of knots that defies even the deftest of unpickers. Behold, then, the cable-free lighting that makes this Utopian dream a reality. We love the sturdy shape and the snazzy bulb, which lends a modern twist to your get-together while also giving a romantic glow. What we love most, however, is the whopping great charge-time. This has up to 140 hours of battery life (yes, you read that right), which if our maths is correct, equates to nearly six days of light, glorious light. If we had to pick a go-to accessory for the summer, it would be this - see the difference it could make in your home.
