Victoria Beckham's new homeware is quiet luxury at its finest - how to get the look for less
It's serving style on even the most casual meals
Victoria Beckham's first ever homeware line launched this week. The collection of hammered stainless steel, creamy porcelain, and mouth blown glassware is elegant, exclusive, designed to elevate the everyday.
It's no surprise that the fashion designer is bring her chic taste to the table too. We've long admired the Beckham's famously stylish home, but having a whole collection available just before gifting season makes it easy to shop the Beckham look.
Even better, if you're inspired by the popular Isla butter dishes and salt and pepper pots and, my personal favourite, the jewellery-like napkin rings.I've done some research into more affordable lookalikes, so you can mix and match for a luxury look on a budget.
Victoria Beckham Westwing Homeware Collection
The Victoria Beckham Westwing collection is a beautiful treat for the table. I'll show you some comparisons between high street brands, but these are the three pieces that are true collection heroes:
Launching just in time for the start of the hosting season, Victoria Beckham’s launching her first homeware collection. It's a collaboration with German brand Westwing centres around “serving style”. It's a masterclass in how to use soft textiles, decorative objects and a sophisticated palette of white and dark green, with hammered stainless steel and off-white porcelain bringing texture to the tablescape.
The collection takes inspiration from Britain’s 19th-century Arts and Crafts movement, which championed craftsmanship, natural forms and the beauty of objects made to be used as well as admired. We've seen lots of celebrations of the William Morris designs this year, especially on rugs, but Victoria Beckham's collection brings something a little different.
“Home is where some of life's most meaningful moments happen, and this collaboration felt like a natural way to explore that world through the same lens of design, craftsmanship and attention to detail that defines everything we do,” Victoria explains.
Her fashion background is evident throughout, from the jewellery-like chain motif on the Dover plates and table linen to the sculptural, shell-shaped Isla butter dishes and salt and pepper pots. “I wanted everything to feel refined, but never overly formal. There’s an ease in the way the pieces live together.”
The Westwing collection also comes with beautiful packaging, so these feel like true heirloom, luxury investments for your kitchen. The boxes are definitely ones to keep hold of.
I've pulled together our favourites from the collection with some more affordable lookalikes so you can choose how and where you shop the luxury look:
The Isla shell range is the one that's caught everyone's eye. The playful softness and natural form of the shell bring charm and personality without feeling "over styled".
Hammered and finished with gold, this is almost the twin of the Westway design. It's a great place to start if you want to test out the Westwing style. This is a flatter, silver design if you're set on having matching metals.
Leaning on the classic, hammered design of the butter dish, we have the salt and pepper shells. They're delicate and subtle, more like silhouettes than the detailed butter dish.
A fun, small, lookalike, this is a little shallower, but still captures the seaside charm of shells on the table.
Westwing describes this as an "organic and tactile" reimagining of classic cutlery. Their texture is a great way to add depth to the table.
The resemblance between this set and the Westwing is almost uncanny. Of course, you can expect more pomp and packaging, but this is a lovely affordable alternative for the table.
The chain motif on the rim of this plate is inspired by a vintage men's watch and is Victoria Beckham's way of tying the collection to Westwing deeply. I love the delicate, geometric look set on the off-white porcelain.
Available as bowls, plates, or sets, this builds on the delicate geometric pattering of the Westwing collection. Again, it's a great investment if you want these to be your everyday plates.
Timeless and elegant, this is inspired by Victoria's instinct for proportion and elongated silhouettes. The subtle facets are designed to catch the light, glittering like diamonds.
It's very hard to find champagne glasses as delicate and special as the Westwing collection, because they are mouth blown and made by master craftspeople. However, these come close.
Almost like jewellery, these organic, open, hammered napkin holders bring together a table perfectly.
Nobody makes napkin holders that would decorate a table like Victoria's, but these have earthiness and delicay that we love.
The emerald green and soft curves of these tealights look beautiful even without a little flame flickering in them. They're objets d'art.
Dunelm's engraved tealight holder might not be mouth blown, but it's still delicate and earthy. Perfect for your tablescapes.
The Victoria Beckham x Westwing collaboration has already been widely admired for bringing elegance to the table. It's polished and practical, bringing style without looking too precious. They're perfect for gifting to yourself or to loved ones over Christmas, although, we predict that they're going to be a sell-out success.
