    For an easy autumn/winter refresh, look no further than the profusion of creative collaborations between big brands – including high-street favourites – and high-end designers and artists.

    It’s a great way to buy into some high-end design by talented creatives, but at reassuringly normal prices. Here’s our pick of the best homeware collaborations on the high street right now.

    Next x Lucy Tiffney

    Next is adding lighting and rugs to this successful ongoing partnership with an artist – no stranger to a collaboration – known for her gloriously uplifting, bold botanical prints, including these joyful lamps.
