TOAST's homeware is a treasure trove of artisanal gems – 15 pieces under £50 that tell a story too
Each hand-crafted piece tells a story and brings the autumnal vibes inside
TOAST is famous for their cosy, earthy collections, but I bet you didn't know that they're mostly made up of independent creatives. From hand-thrown pottery to organic beeswax candles, it's a treasure trove for bringing meaningful pieces into your home.
Whilst it would be easy to spend a small fortune on TOAST homeware, in this year's Autumnal collection, I've noticed lots of beautiful kitchen décor that's (mostly) under £50 - and I just couldn't resist them.
So, while you're making small tweaks to bring Autumnal textures and palettes to your home, make a showcase of TOAST - as well as the independent creatives in Cornwall, Norfolk, Leeds that they support.

Whether you're looking at transitional bedding for the Autumn or patterns to bring some texture to your home as the season changes, I love these little TOAST pieces too. Not many people know that they work so closely with independent creatives, which is why I'm thrilled their collection continues to champion that spirit of craftsmanship and considered design. It's a reminder to bring some layers to your home and some little pieces with a real story behind them.
