It's Payday, and These Are the 24 Homewares I've Been Patiently Waiting for (and Will Be Adding Straight to My Shopping Cart)

Collage of homewares include mirror, palm spring coffee table book, table lamp in shape of horse, green patterned cushion, oliver bonas bath soak, polka dot napkins, addison ross bobbin lamp, and red bedding.

I was recently exposed to 'The Gap' theory on social media. It's a conscious-buying principle that says you should wait a month before buying anything. Leaving a 'gap' between seeing and securing the item gives you time to really work out whether it's an impulse, trend-led purchase, or something you really want or need.

I'm a big mood-boarder, so I've never really been an impulse shopper (yes, even though I look at homewares for a living). I can't commit to something until I've 'seen' how it will look in my space, so naturally, I liked the sound of 'The Gap' theory. And you know what time of the month is best to sit down and reconsider your month's worth of purchases? Payday.

For this month's Payday Edit, I've shared a few things I've been sitting on lately. Perhaps you've seen the same in the new-in section of your favorite homewares brand and have been tossing up whether to commit (this is your sign), or perhaps you're nothing like me, and love a little impulse purchase...

Need more inspiration? It's not too late to gift yourself something from 'The Fifty' best homewares to shop this winter.
