Soho Home’s 2026 collection brings luxe housewarming gifts into focus

Soho Home’s code for making a new place look expensive

Skip the safe-but-forgettable housewarming gifts. The smartest thing in Soho Home’s 2026 direction is that it makes a single piece do the work of a whole room: more texture, more silhouette, more personality, and far less chance of quietly disappearing into a drawer. Soho Home calls itself a modern interiors brand for relaxed, sociable living, with more than 25 years of design heritage, born when guests started asking to buy the pieces they loved from the Houses. Soho House itself began in 1995, when Nick Jones opened the first Soho House on Greek Street in London, and the brand still describes itself as a club for creative people.

That matters because the new collection does not read like a random seasonal reset. Soho Home says the range continues to celebrate Soho House’s design language with vintage-inspired furniture shapes, creative details, and a mix of textures and tones, while recent collections have leaned on alabaster marble, oak burl, aged brass, polished stainless steel, stained cherry burl and leather. Livingetc’s take is that the mood has gotten more complex and nuanced, with burl wood, marble, ball-feet furniture, tapestry-esque fabrics and decorative flourishes pushing the look beyond a simple minimalist update. In gift terms, that is perfect: these are the kinds of pieces that make a newly opened apartment feel considered before the art is even hung.

Start with the tabletop pieces that do the most visual lifting

If you want the biggest impact for the least drama, begin with marble. Soho Home’s Hanson Coasters, a set of four, cost $70 in the U.S. and are hand-hewn from apple jade marble with protective feet, which means they feel substantial instead of fussy and they will not scratch a glass or wood surface. This is the kind of gift that works for the friend who just bought a condo, the couple setting up their first proper coffee table, or the person who still has a lot of cardboard in the living room but already wants the place to look intentional.

For a slightly more sculptural move, the Alma Vase in Red Bulgari Marble is $195 and has a short, rounded silhouette that reads as decor even without flowers. Soho Home notes that it is not water-tight, so I would give it to someone who likes dried stems, branches, or a beautifully bare object on a shelf. The price is a little higher than a coaster set, but the payoff is real: marble gives a room weight, and weight is what makes a new home feel edited instead of empty.

Give the bar cart one good thing, not five mediocre ones

Soho Home’s barware is especially useful if you are buying for someone who hosts or likes the ritual of pouring a drink at home. The Beaumont Cocktail Shaker is $95, made from 18/10 steel, and its step-edge detailing gives it just enough texture to feel special without tipping into novelty. If you want something more dramatic, the Barwell Cut Crystal Martini Shaker is $250, which is a serious step up in price but also the kind of object that announces a house with opinions.

The glassware edit gives you another easy win. Soho Home’s Barwell Cut Crystal range runs from $200 for a set of four highball or rocks glasses to $240 for champagne coupes, while the more accessible Pembroke sets start at $105 for water glasses and $145 for wine glasses. That spread is useful: if you are buying for someone who entertains often, the crystal reads dressy enough for a dinner party; if you want the gift to feel useful on a Tuesday night, the simpler sets keep the price in check.

When a room needs one decorative object, choose the one with presence

This is where Soho Home’s 2026 mood gets especially giftable. The Anderson Marble Décor Sculpture in White is $195, and the Anderson Marble Décor Arch in Black is $203 at a few retail partners, with Soho Home listing it at £180 in the U.K., both designed as bookshelf or coffee-table pieces that bring character to a surface without needing styling help. The Walbrook Bud Catchall is $195 and has the clean, polished look of something you would actually use for keys or rings, while still reading like an object picked with taste. These are the gifts for the person whose new place has good bones but still feels a little bare.

If the new home leans more understated than sculptural, the same idea works in fabric and fragrance. Soho Home’s Bergamot & Mandarin Candle is $75, and the scent sits in an alabaster-style vessel that feels more polished than the average candle jar. The House Robe is $95, made from recycled polyester with an embroidered Soho House logo, and the Soho House Book Trio is $115 for a cloth-bound set that turns a coffee table into a conversation starter. These are not flashy gifts, but they are the ones that make a place feel lived in and looked after the minute the boxes are gone.

The brand experience is part of the gift

Soho Home is also set up to be shopped in person, which matters for materials like burl wood and marble that benefit from seeing the grain and sheen up close. Its first Studio sits in a former chapel built in 1824 on London’s King’s Road, and the brand also operates studios in Westbourne Grove, Amsterdam, Brooklyn and Chicago. That physical presence reinforces the whole pitch: this is furniture and decor meant to be touched, not just scrolled past.

The timing is good, too. A 2026 Housewares Association survey found that all income groups except the highest earners are more likely to celebrate a housewarming or new-home occasion this year, which is another way of saying the category has real momentum, not just nice styling. Soho Home’s best gifts meet that moment perfectly: one marble object, one good bar piece, one soft ritual piece, and a room starts looking like someone meant to live there in style.
