Hands up – I’m a sucker for a cute pastel shade. There’s just something about those summery colours that put a smile on my face and a spring in my step, and there’s no quicker or easier way to introduce pastels into your kitchen than with a few carefully chosen accessories. Here a just a few of the gorgeous finds that I’ve unearthed – I hope they brighten your day, too.
As well as pastels, stripes are another of my weaknesses, so when I found these stylish Cornishware mugs, inspired by colours from the Cornish seaside, I thought all my Christmases had come at once! They cost £40 for a set of four and come packaged in a beautiful stripey box – a great gift for any discerning tea lover.
