From your morning coffee pods to must-have beauty tools, and your favourite cookies to treasured keepsakes, keep everyday essentials neat and tidy with our pick of cute and quirky storage jars.
As much as we love a new big ticket item for our home – a fresh sofa or a longed-for art piece – sometimes the little things can bring us just as much joy. Case in point, these dopamine-inducing jars will add a quiet quirkiness to a tired space.
If your homeware style errs more on the side of rustic or countryside chic, you can’t go wrong with a bit of Mrs Alice’s nostalgic, chintzy aesthetic. Her rattan jar can be used to create a sweet tablescape at your next dinner party or as a prop on a serving tray, in the nook of a bookshelf or atop a coffee table-style ottoman.
If you love a colour pop when it comes to your home accessories, you need to check out Copenhagan-based, Central Saint Martins alumni, Helle Mardalh. The glassware artist draws inspiration from childhood films such as Alice in Wonderland and Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, to create one-of-a-kind pieces that will bring a candy store magic to your home. Her confectionary jars, inspired by those from the 1950s, are like little functional works of art. Style anywhere from an open-shelf unit to the bathroom sink, on a console table in the hallway or atop your desk with a 3 pm sugary pick-me-up.
And finally, what better gift to give the person who has everything than a cute jar? Jonathan Adler’s cult canisters in circus top-style stripes and emblazoned with cheeky words like ‘love’, ‘pills’ or ‘cannabis,’ will make fun, thoughtful presents for anyone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously when it comes to home decor… it’s up to them to decide what they put inside.
