This week we've got empowering artwork to celebrate International Women's Day, the perfect spring blanket and a Miami-inspired lighting range. If you only treat yourself to one thing this week we recommend it be one of these new buys…
Empowering artwork
We couldn't let International Women's Day pass us by without some form of acknowledgement. Here's to empowering messages displayed proudly in our homes. In addition to the poster, that can also be framed, this girl power print can be printed onto cushions and bed linen.

Fun doormat
This is one of the best doormats we've seen... in a while crocodile! Fun, quirky and on-trend in navy – what more could you ask for? If like us you love it you'd best snap it up quick, we have a feeling it won't be around for long.

Pom-pom trim
A lightweight blanket is just the thing to dress homes for spring. This 100 per cent cotton blanket would make a jolly addition to any room. A classic grey stripe design is brought to life thanks to multicoloured pom-poms, injecting a hint of vibrant colour and a whole lot of fun.

Statement ceiling lights
Last month we reported that BHS is back and better than ever. The in-house design team are knocking it out of the park, it's incredible to think theses ceiling lights aren't from an Uber high-end designer.
These beautifully statement ceiling lights are from the glam new Miami range, all perfect to add style and sophistication to update living rooms.
