Make the most of March with the best things to do, see and buy this month

HOT FROM THE HIGH STREET Matalan
Turn up the heat with the Moroccan atmosphere created by Matalan’s Artisan range. These ornate pieces celebrate pattern and texture in warm earth tones, creating hardworking homewares that you can build whole schemes around. Try using the pink in this bedding to paint your walls or, let the arched slats from the lantern inspire your lighting choices.
Marvellous Minerals
Add texture to your table with the new Minerals collection from Portmeirion. This dreamy range of tableware contrasts reactive glazes with unglazed areas, which lets the natural beauty of the clay shine through. They’re also microwave and dishwasher safe, making them pretty practical too!
HEALTHY HOME
A little exercise can make a world of difference but, it can be hard to motivate yourself. IKEA’s Dajlien collection is packed with tasteful pieces to help you exercise at home. Designed for heavy use but created in soft colours, the Dajlien range is a gentle persuasion to build your strength and stamina.
