Home is where the heart is, but in the festive period it would be more appropriate to say: Home is where everyone is. That’s right, the holidays are a time of gathering, which puts more stress than usual on your everyday furniture. Dining tables that seat four now need to be expanded to eight, cream upholstery suffers the consequences of small, sticky fingers and let’s not forget that mother-in-law who has a vendetta against your decor.
Fear not, there’s a solution to your hosting woes: furniture that balances visual impact with day-to-day practicality. And homeri It is home to many of them. To our friends in America, newsweek It has been dubbed the best online shop in the country, so now is the time for us to join the movement in the UK too. The brand has built a reputation around designs that wouldn’t look out of place in a luxury magazine but somehow meet real-life expectations. Dirty shoes and all.
Of course, there’s the risk that your purchases become season-specific, burdening you with comfortable, dark clothes that feel suffocating in the height of summer. That’s why Homery’s collections focus on multifunctional design and visual interest without overwhelming a room.

Lighting that shapes the room, not just the ceiling
Once the sun goes down at 4 p.m., light plays a bigger role than just helping you find the remote. During winter celebrations, it sets the tone, softens busy spaces and, crucially, makes rooms feel welcoming rather than suitable for interrogation. The problem is that many homes rely on a single overhead fixture, which can leave corners flat and cast harsh light on faces.
Homeri’s lighting collection takes a more layered approach. Sculptural chandeliers act as visual anchors over dining tables and living areas, while floor lamps and accent lighting bring warmth to cool corners.
Rustic Wagon Wheel Chandelier (£249.99, Homery.com) is an example. With its rounded frame and warm brass finish, it brings a sense of structure to the open-plan living and dining areas, grounding the room without overpowering it. Eight candle-style lights provide an even, ambient glow that’s perfect for everything from a sunny Sunday to a cool evening, while the classic silhouette ensures it offers a timeless appeal. It’s a reminder that good lighting doesn’t just illuminate a room, it defines how you experience it season after season.
