The New Year is a great time to refresh, renew and rejuvenate. This could apply to your work, life or even home. When it comes to home décor, trends come and go but there are some things that remain constant. If you’re going to buy anything in 2017, let it be one of our must-haves from this list.



Pilke Lamp - Pendant Wide

This open structure lamp is designed to cast atmospheric, angular shadows - it also looks like it comes from another planet! We love how unusual and geometric this lamp is; it will light up any room with ethereal, playful bursts of light. This product is from Objects of Interest and is part of their long running exploration of math and geometry, and how this can be incorporated into their designs. This lamp is actually designed by putting together 60 irregular pentagons to create the resulting spherical structure. As unique as this piece is, it is a classic ode to clean lines and angles that will never go out of style.

A testament to Indian craftsmanship, this bed blends a romantic silhouette with ethnic charm, as seen in the headboard and brass nails.

Oliver Club Sofa

A good sofa is a big must have for any home; something that makes a statement without overpowering the rest of the room. This is why we love the Oliver Sofa from Vilaasita. Clean lines, a sleek silhouette and a variety of colours all ensure that this sofa will add a touch of modern glamour to any space. Classic pieces are those that will be loved for years, and this sofa perfectly fits that bill.



Vintage Sunrise Chest

The great thing about vintage is that it never goes out of style. We see the 70's and 80's inspiring more and more décor and this chest stands witness to that. Handcrafted of fine pinewood, this chest of drawers is further accented with brass finishings. A chest of drawers is often overlooked when thinking about essential pieces for the home, however the combination of vintage and contemporary creates a look that will liven up any space. Perfectly simple yet incredibly functional.





Each of these pieces has been handpicked by the Discern Living team as essentials for the New Year which will help you create a space that is classic and timeless, yet still current. When you think of essentials, you may consider buying something that blends in seamlessly with the background - this year however, don’t settle for subtle and show off your personality instead!
