6 New Home Decor & Furnishings We're Loving Right Now

FRESH FROM FRAÎCHE

Designer and cookbook author Tori Wesszer’s eagerly anticipated second Fraîche holiday collection has arrived at Walmart. “This collection is inspired by my own cherished holiday memories,” Tori recently told us, saying it blends “nostalgia and timeless style with a touch of French-inspired elegance and modern sparkle to bring warmth, joy and magic into Canadian homes, year after year.” Some of our faves from the line—notable for being high on style and charm but affordable enough to splurge on—include pretty floral blue and white dinnerware (so French!); mugs with a holiday house motif, complete with tiny wreaths; and, new for this year, a 7½ foot LED spruce tree.

MUD-ERN CLASSIC

Iconic ceramics maker Mud Australia has arrived in Canada with an exclusive “shop-inshop” at Toronto’s Hopson Grace flagship store. Founded in 1994, the Australian company is renowned not just for the beauty of their subtle, Modernist-inspired Limoges porcelain homewares but also for the thought that goes into their manufacture: each handcrafted piece is made using sustainable materials and methods, and coloured with the company’s signature pigments.

Mud Australia, Porcelain Ceramics, $28 to $1,890

Sunday(s) Kind of Love

The new Hetta collection from Sundays pays homage to the warmth and craftsmanship of furniture of the past, with a focus on comfort and easygoing style. The name Hetta comes from the name Etta, Old English for “keeper of the hearth,” with an H added as a nod to “home.” Inspired by vintage designs, the heirloom-style pieces, which range from sofas and armchairs to tables and beds, easily slip into both traditional and modern settings and are made to be loved now and handed down in the future.

Sundays, Hetta Furniture Collection, $350 to $5,200

Dine In with Cozey

Since launching just a couple of years ago, Montreal-based furniture maker Cozey has been a hit with Canadians, who are coveting its comfortable, modular designs, appealing style and fabric selection, and tool-free assembly. Now Cozey is expanding its furnishings beyond the living room and into the dining room. Two new Midcentury Modern-inspired dining set styles, Vela and Ushi, will be offered in walnut and oak versions, with optional upholstered chair and bench seating in a variety of colours. Also available is a central leaf that expands the table to seat up to eight.

Cozey, Vela and Ushi Dining Sets, from $1,375

SAFE & SOUND

If you’ve ever had to struggle in the pouring rain to get a key into your front door lock, or fumbled with a keyless entry pad in the dark, Schlage’s new Encode Plus and Encode Lever are for you. The smart deadbolts offer security without complications, thanks to the Wi-Fi-controlled locks. They’re also beautiful, and available in a wide selection of architectural styles and finishes – like matte black, satin nickel and aged bronze – to suit your home’s style. Bonus: Both Encode designs coordinate with the company’s interior door hardware, allowing you to create a cohesive look, inside and out.
