BOYZONE may have crooned that they only had words to take our hearts away back in 1996, when in fact they also had the beautiful Keith Duffy.
But words can say a lot about you, especially when used around your home.
Slogan homeware is always going to be a winner for adding personality to your pad – as long as it’s not that overused, pass-us-the-sick-bag, ‘Live, Life, Laugh’ stuff.
You could get your family motto sculpted in wire art or your kids’ favourite phrase of the moment splashed on a graphic print.
Not feeling that creative?
Here are 10 of the finest slogan homeware pieces on the high street so you can be the host with the most (to say) this winter…
Doormat, £19.50, Oliver Bonas – BUY NOW
A cool doormat is the easiest way of updating your front porch without a laborious paint job.
And this gorgeous geometric design will be perfect to greet all your Christmas callers this year.
Although it may also encourage some poor Knock Knock jokes too… sorry!
Plate, £16.50, Caroline Gardner – BUY NOW
Add to your gallery wall for added style points or buy for your bestie as a cute gift.
FYI there’s also a banana and a pear design if you fancy grabbing the set.
Mug, £3, B&M – BUY NOW
Not only do we love the bargain price, but who doesn’t love a sausage dog?
It could make a very cute thank you teacher gift too…
Tea towels, £20 for 2, Eleanor Bowmer – BUY NOW
We’ve been fans of Manchester-based Eleanor Bowmer’s pretty designs for a long time now.
And these stylish tea towels come in a cute set with a Head Chef design and a Sous Chef design. You could easily frame one as a piece of art in your kitchen too.
Napkins, £16.50 for 4, Oliver Bonas – BUY NOW
Channel the 70s or cute wine bar vibes from your favourite minibreak on the Med with these fab napkins.
Sure to be a winner for any dinner party.
And they are educational too – you’re learning three new languages as you go.
Cheers!
Print (unframed), from £6.95, Juniqe.co.uk – BUY NOW
Never a truer word spoken.
So carb up for party season and live with no regrets.
Unless you snog your married boss, that is.
It will take a little more than spaghetti to fix that mess.
Cushion, £24, Next – BUY NOW
Perfect for your sofa or guestroom, this monochrome design will fit in with most décor.
It’s always nice to give guests a subtle hint of how you expect them to behave too.
Now, if only the family dog could read…
LED Light box, £23, Laredoute.co.uk – BUY NOW
This light will add instant fun to any home bar.
But you may just have to wrestle it off the kids first.
Or treat them to their own…
Tray, £30, Asta Barrington – BUY NOW
Whether you want a tray that celebrates chips, cake or prosecco, Asta Barrington has a gorgeous design to suit in her trademark bold colours and instantly-recognisable font.
Again, you could just hang up on the wall as a piece of art but we like ours placed on the coffee table for a daily pop of colour which we’ll then quickly re-purpose for serving up come cocktail time.
Mirror wall art, £25, Dunelm – BUY NOW
Mirrored wall art is always a winner for adding colour to your walls and helping to maximise light in your home.
And this one is a steal.
Try it in a hallway or pop on the present list for your daughter / niece / the tween in your life.
