5 New Design and Homewares Collections You Need to Know About
In the design world, new design and homewares collections are sometimes launched months before the products actually arrive in store or online. Here, we've rounded up our favourite new collections that are available right now - or coming very soon - and picked our best buys. It's surprising how just one or two new pieces can give your home a whole new look, and welcome in a new season.
1. New Winter Bed Linen at Castle
What: New winter bedlinen collection, including charcoal flower print bed linen combined with classic cottons, new linens and a lush mohair throw blanket.
Why we love it: Rachel Castle's colour combos are immediately cheering, and the new winter prints are the perfect way to give your bedroom a winter makeover.
Best buys: Can't afford a new duvet cover? Make a bold new statement by adding two of Castle's new charcoal flower pillowcases, $49 each, to your current bedlinen. The charcoal print works with many different colours and styles. We also love Castle's velvet penny round cushions. Check out this new version in peach, for $49.And if you're looking for some affordable art, check out Castle's limited edition prints and artworks. Most of the new works have already sold, but check out the limited edition Patchwork 1 tea-towel, for $69. It's designed to be framed and hung on the wall.
Available:Online this week.
2. Mark Tuckey X Cotton On
What: Australian designer Mark Tuckey's bespoke homewares collection for Cotton On.
Why we love it: Mark Tuckey style at Cotton On prices, of course! Also, we're so pleased to see a brand like Cotton On collaborate with Australian designers. More, please!
Best buys: Chunky knit throws, linen sheets and a rather handsome bean bag.
Available: Online from Friday 3 July and in select Cotton On stores from Wednesday 8 July.
3. Kip and Co X Nomi
What: New collaboration between Kip & Co and NOMI Furniture.
Why we love it: Two amazing Aussie designers collaborating!

What: The new monochrome ceramics in the 'Pois' design from New Zealand design company Citta.
Why we love it: It's painterly, pointillist and perfectly on-trend with its monochrome design. The black and white design is surprisingly versatile, and can be mixed and matched with your existing dinnerware. An instant upgrade without splashing out on a whole new set!
