The Ultimate Gift Guide for Interior Lovers: Thoughtful Picks for Every Budget
Shopping for someone who’s passionate about interior design can feel like walking a fine line. You want to give something they’ll love, but with their carefully curated style and attention to detail, finding the perfect match can be tricky. That’s why gift cards are often the best option—they give the recipient the freedom to choose something that fits seamlessly into their home.
If you’re opting for a gift card, here are my top picks for brands interior enthusiasts love:
The White Company: Perfect for luxury linens, soothing candles, and timeless homeware.
John Lewis: A classic go-to for quality home decor, furniture, and accessories.
Soho Home: For those who dream of bringing hotel-chic style into their living spaces.
Nkuku: A haven for rustic, sustainable, and artisan-made pieces.
Oliver Bonas: A vibrant mix of unique furniture and fun, stylish accessories.
Dunelm: A more budget-friendly option with cosy, on-trend home finds.
That said, if you want to give a physical gift, I’ve rounded up some timeless and cosy picks that anyone would adore. These are thoughtful, versatile items that transcend specific decor styles, making them perfect for any interior lover.
1. Luxurious Throws and Blankets
A beautifully soft throw is always a winner. It can be draped over a sofa, folded neatly at the foot of a bed, or used as an accent to add warmth to any space. Look for neutral tones like soft greys, creams, or taupes to ensure it complements most interiors. Options from The White Company or John Lewis are especially timeless. Some of my favourites right now are on Ellenvale Interiors, especially the cashmere ones!
2. Scented Candles and Diffusers
Scent is an essential part of creating a welcoming home, and a good-quality candle or diffuser can do just that. Opt for sophisticated fragrances like calming lavender, warming amber, or fresh linen. The White Company’s signature candles or Jo Malone diffusers (available at John Lewis) are universally loved.

3. Handcrafted Ceramics
Pieces from Nkuku are perfect for those who appreciate artisan craftsmanship. Whether it’s a rustic vase, a unique serving platter, or hand-thrown mugs, these pieces add texture and personality to any home.
4. Timeless Cushions
A well-chosen cushion can refresh a space without overhauling the decor. Stick to simple, cosy fabrics like velvet or linen in muted tones or subtle patterns. Dunelm and Oliver Bonas offer affordable yet stylish options. Ellenvale Interiors are my go to currently!
5. Coffee Table Books
Interior lovers are often inspired by art, architecture, and design. A chic coffee table book not only adds character to their home but also serves as a source of inspiration. Consider titles like "Live Beautiful" by Athena Calderone or "Made for Living" by Amber Lewis, or any Studio Mcgee book. These are as beautiful as they are practical. An interior magazine subscription can also be fun!
6. Statement Glassware or Bar Accessories
For those who love entertaining, beautiful glassware or chic bar tools are always appreciated. Soho Home offers stunning options that elevate any home bar setup. Look for timeless designs like cut-glass tumblers or elegant cocktail shakers.
7. Decorative Storage Solutions
Stylish yet functional, storage baskets or boxes are a great gift for keeping spaces tidy without sacrificing aesthetics. Nkuku has beautiful woven baskets, while Dunelm offers budget-friendly options that still look luxe.
8. Cosy Slippers or Robes
Okay, technically not home decor, but they’re perfect for enhancing the feeling of home. Interior lovers often value comfort just as much as aesthetics, and a pair of plush slippers or a cosy robe from The White Company is an indulgent treat.

By sticking to neutral colours, quality materials, and classic designs, you’ll be sure to give a gift they’ll treasure—and that fits seamlessly into their home.
