While we would love to have a great designer homeware piece (or maybe even two in our homes), we so don’t love paying its designer price. Well, we’ve got a little treat to quell those designer homeware desires: a Paul Smith Evian Limited Edition Collectable Bottle, £12, 1L.

Now, you’re probably thinking, A glass water bottle? How is that discount designer homeware?

It’s made of glass and can hold 1L and its design is made by Paul Smith, after all. So instead of chugging and then chucking this water bottle, keep it. To make this bottle into a piece of discount designer homeware, all you need is a little imagination.

We at chiconomise HQ have been using this bottle as a vase for our favourite flowers to give our desks a bit of designer flare. Some of our writers use it as water pitcher for dinner parties.

One of writers uses it to hold perfume oil and reed sticks. (You can get Coley & Gill Incense Sticks, 40 per pack, for just a £1 at Poundland.) Now you have a gorgeous Paul Smith-designed room freshener for just £13.  (Ahh, the sweet smell of savings, something we never tire of.) Compare that to Paul Smith’s blown brandy glass at £50 and you will feel pleased as punch at this chic bottle.

This is discount designer homeware with definite potential. And we would love to hear how you use your Paul Smith Evian Water Bottle. Let’s us know in the comments or on the forum.
