Etsy is pretty much my go-to place for unique, one-of-a-kind gifts for friends and family. If I’m ever stuck for inspiration for what to get someone for their birthday I know that all I need is a little browse on the website to find something perfect.
But I also love Etsy for finding bits and pieces for around the house that you just can’t get on the high street. I’ve been scrolling there lately looking at fun, bright, and pretty bits of homeware that are just perfect for adding a big of colour to your home this summer.
Take a look at my top picks!
1. One of a kind artwork
I have to admit, I’m a bit biased with this first one because the artist is my best friend. But seriously, look how stunning this painting is!
This gorgeous one of a kind piece of art would add the perfect amount of colour to any room in your home.

2. Mediterranean inspired coasters
Imagine how great these pretty patterned coasters would look on your dining table or your living room coffee table.
They’re made with Portuguese cork and Italian metal and have a brilliant non-scratch top and wipeable surface. Each set gives you 6 different vibrant designs and they come in a beautiful gift box that you can stash them away in. But they looks so pretty I’d be leaving these out all the time!
3. Gorgeous hand painted mugs
Perfect for an afternoon cuppa in the garden or taking on a family camping trip, these hand painted enamelware mugs will brighten up even the rainiest of summer days.
There are 8 colours to choose from, each one with a different floral design that’s just stunning to look at.

4. Beautiful blue tumblers
These tumblers remind me of a couple that Steve and I have from a holiday in France years ago. The shade of blue is absolutely gorgeous and they feel good and solid in your hands.
These ones are mouth-blown in Morocco, so they’re all unique which I absolutely love. The thickness of the glass also means they keep your cold drinks nicely chilled without needing to add a load of ice.

5. Happiness quote print
I’m a sucker for a motivational quote, and this one is just so much fun!

6. Handpainted rainbow vase
Put away your boring old vases and show your blooms some love with this pretty hand painted rainbow vase.
Each piece from this small business is carefully hand painted and upcycled, so no two items are the same.

7. Pretty pink tumblers
How pretty are these tumblers? They’re made in a gorgeous shade of pink with an ombre effect, and a delicate gold rim that just tops off the prettiness.
They’d be perfect for summer drinks or just to add something special to your dinner table. Just be careful with them, they are quite delicate and need to hand-washed gently after use.

8. Heart garland with pressed flowers
Possibly the least practical but also possibly the most pretty piece on my list, this garland would look gorgeous in so many places around the house.
Made with real pressed flowers and rustic twine, each garland is completely unique, so you know you’ll be getting something really special with one of these.
