Look past the tech and bulk-buy loo roll, and you’ll find some real homeware gems
ou may know Amazon as the place to pick up cheap tech and household essentials, but dig a little deeper and you’ll find plenty more treasures to add to your basket.
The internet giant has millions of products waiting to be delivered to your door - not least some rather chic homewares.
Over the last few years, we’ve all learned that our homes are our havens, and although restrictions may have been cast aside, it’s still our sanctuary from the world. So, whether you rent or own, adding pieces that express your personality and make your home that much nicer to be.
From floor rugs to statement cushions, wall art to sculptural vases, Amazon may not be the most obvious place to look for dopamine-boosting knick knacks, but we’re here to show you you’re wrong.
We’ve put together an edit of the best homewares to bring your interiors to life.
Bring your boring old walls to life with a feminist art print - or two, in this case. The 12x16 inch prints are frameless so you’ll need to buy a set, unless you plan to hang them like a poster.

Putting our feet up is always an appealing prospect, but this chair and footstool set allows you to do it in style. It’s on the pricier side, but when you consider the cost-per-sit, it’ll pay for itself in no time. The padded wingback design comes in an array of colours and sits on elegant brass-coloured legs.

Living a champagne lifestyle on a cava budget is par for the course for most people living in an expensive metropolis like London. But don’t let that stop you sipping your evening serve in style. VonShef’s double walled mango wood ice bucket is perfect for keeping your drinks chilled, from Lambrini to Lanson.
When no amount of budget hot dogs or Swedish meatballs can persuade you to wander around IKEA’s giant marketplace, head to Amazon. The site sells a number of homewares from the flatpack-famous store, minus the hefty £40 delivery cost that IKEA charges. Bring this set of three seagrass baskets home, and use them to hide everything from bathroom essentials to living room clutter.
Sculptural vases are the Insta interiors trend of the moment. They look great on their own, but even better when filled with a bunch of your favourite blooms.

No modern home is complete without a drinks trolley, the keeper of your very own happy hour. This one is set on wheels and comes with two strong glass shelves to hold your favourite tipples and bar accessories. Measuring 61 x 38cm, it also makes a statement plant stand.

Rugs are wallpaper for the floor - only you can wash them too. If you like vintage kitsch but don’t have the deep pockets usually required for a Persian rug, head to Amazon where you can pick up this reproduction at a snip of the price. This beautifully patterned rug measures a generous 160 x 220cm, although other sizes and colours are available.

The quickest no-nail way to refresh your interiors? Change your cushion covers. This textured set of two is perfect for all-seasons, as long as you’re into the Scandi-chic look. Just be careful with glasses of red wine. Each one measures 45 x 45cm.
