Friendship makes the world go around. This simple statement is explored globally by meeting people of different backgrounds, organising communities, and working together to fulfil shared plans.
These positives are celebrated yearly on 30th July by the United Nations-backed International Day of Friendship. The day sets out ideas for promoting initiatives, activities and events that help inspire trust, communication and solidarity across different people, nations and cultures.
Here at Homecolours, we know that friendship can mean many different things to people. Sometimes the greatest shows of friendship come from everyday activities like a good meal, an evening of entertainment or just a good old cup of tea!
The following designer pieces all have friendship and mutual understanding at their heart and will help strengthen welcoming pleasantries.
What could be more emblematic of friendship than a good cup of tea? The above Morris & Co Teapot makes a wonderful addition to any home. Beautifully styled on one of Morris & Co’s fantastic designs, the iconic-looking teapot is ideal for brewing up any style of tea. Whether using bags or leaves, the porcelain pot will make a cup of tea in a gorgeous style.
The elegant pattern of the design is made up of an abundance of leaves and stems in a vibrant collection of pinks, greens and whites. Sure to make an impression on friends and visitors, the teapot is also a lovely gift idea.
Visitors to the home can also be presented with something to eat in delightful style with the colourful and finely made Chelsea Collection Set from Sara Miller. Inspired by classic Asian prints, the vibrant bursts of bird forms and stunningly captured floral blooms detail the 12 pieces brilliantly.
The collection contains four dinner plates, side plates and bowls that are perfect for bringing an optimistic and cheerful feel to the home. Made from fine bone china, the collection has a luxurious quality that will make it a firm favourite for all.
Collecting and looking after photographs of family and friends is made brilliantly accessible with the Printworks Photo Album, Family and Friends Large.
The album contains 30 acid-free pages that are held together with a ring binder. Easy to attach photos and then flick through them at leisure, the photo album is ideal for friends to look over memories. Great for the coffee table, it’s a lovely way to cement a friendship.
