12 ways to give your home some Wimbledon spirit
These homeware buys inspired by tennis greats will give your home a little SW19 style
It’s love all when it comes to these homeware buys that will distill the atmosphere of the tournament into your home. Whether you want to step onto court in your own home with a themed rug or desire napkins embroidered with star players of the past (the ideal addition to a Wimbledon viewing party), these pieces will display your passion for the game. Plus, for those who want to take a subtle approach, there’s some ideas that nod to the classic Wimbledon colour scheme.
‘Tennis’ embroidered cushion, Heal’s
Swedish brand Fine Little Day’s embroidered cushions are the most stylish way to display your love for your chosen hobby in your home (they also have designs depicting swimming, golf, cycling and more). The charming embroidered characters are the work of Elisabeth Dunker. £75, heals.com
Picnic blanket, Maison Flaneur
You don’t need to have secured a spot on Henman Hill to make use of this jacquard woven blanket by Harriet Says Hi. It’s illustrative pattern could not be more appropriate for Wimbledon, with its punnet of strawberries and glasses of Champagne. £130, maisonflaneur.com
Wimbledon upcycle tote bag, Christy
There’s a new it bag in SW19: this design made from upcycled Championship towels. You can also buy the towels from the brand (with this year’s design being a real winner), but we love this fashion take on an iconic piece. £75, christy.co.uk
‘Tennis Racket’ Delft tile, Petra Palumbo
Made in the UK, these tiles are ideal for bringing a whimsical nod to tennis to your home. The design comes in six colourways, but classic green and white is the only option for Wimbledon lovers. Use to tile a detail area, such as an alcove or small splashback. £27.50, petrapalumbo.com
‘Durban’ Champagne bucket, Ralph Lauren Home
Champagne is as much a part of the Wimbledon experience as strawberries and cream. Silver-plated for that centre Court polish, this design will bring the elegance of the Lawn Tennis Club to your home. £1,460, ralphlauren.co.uk
‘Clay Court’ rug, Pieces
Yes, we know it’s grass court season, but we love the colour of this rug by Pieces (they also do a green version). The American brand behind its design caught our eye a while back when we featured the home/showroom of its founders Chris Corrado and Jenny Kaplan. From approx £920, pieceshome.com
‘Wimbledon’ napkins, Not Another Bill
See if you can recognise some of the famous players depicted on these linen napkins? Made from 100% linen, and sold as a set of four, these table setting saviours are as quality as the shots by the bonafide stars stitched onto them. £60, notanotherbill.com
‘Plage’ beach tennis, Armani/Casa
Heading to the beach this summer instead of Wimbledon? You can still join in the spirit of the competition with this luxurious beach tennis set by Armani Casa. And, if you’re looking to kit out yourself as well as your home, the brand’s EA7 line makes the sport fashionable. £895, armani.com
Embroidered tennis tea towels, West Elm
Britain’s hopes in the tournament may not be having the best of year’s so far, but you can still clean up with this pair of embroidered cotton tea towels. £39, westelm.co.uk
Rackets with ball, Poltrona Frau
Giobagnara’s leather collection for Poltrona Frau makes games and sports incredibly luxurious. They may not be strictly court appropriate, but you can test out your own hand-eye coordination in your garden with this design in between glasses of fizz. Price on application, poltronafrau.com
‘Tennis Mat’ rug, Nordic Nest
This small rug is intended for children’s rooms, but we think it would be a great choice for the young at heart too. Made by Oyoy, it is soft underfoot, with a blend of 80% wool and 20% cotton. £167, nordicnest.com
‘Lawn Tennis Club’ print, Dunelm
Artist Rosi Feist lends a modernist look to the tennis court in her work for East End Prints. Available framed or unframed and in sizes from A4 to A1, this is a cheeky nod to the game for your wall. From £16, dunelm.com
