As a Gemini, it's with a tinge of sorrow that I farewell June. It was a good month, not just for my personal celebrations, but for the many, many fabulous homeware launches and releases. Missed them? Don't worry — I keep a list of all the most exciting announcements that landed in my inbox, and it makes up our ICYMI for June.
Things are definitely warming up (London has experienced a stifling heatwave), and you could see some of this sunny, summer attitude in last month's ICYMI list, and especially throughout June's new-in homewares sections. But this month we've settled into summer, and now the central theme feels more focused on refreshed creativity.
