#2. Feather your nest
With the philosophy “make your Pinterest dream home a reality”, The Wedding Nest stocks some seriously gorgeous homewares, furniture and artworks. You won’t see the usual big brands here – instead, expect smaller, exciting brands that would be at home (pun intended) in your favourite homewares shop or interiors mag. And to make things even easier, everything’s split into four interior design styles – beach, French, contemporary and eclectic. (Note: the company is Sydney based, so be sure to ask about delivery fees.) Alternatively, the global online art and design collective, Everything Begins, lets you tap into its highly curated online store and create a gift list of unique and beautiful prints, accessories, furniture and lighting. Who needs another saucepan when you can adorn your home with beautiful decorative items from some of the world’s best artists and designers?
