We Spent 24 Hours With Bambah Founder Maha Abdul Rasheed
From early rituals to late-night reflection, Bambah's Egyptian founder, who has expanded her fashion line into homeware, takes us through her day I am a super early riser. I wake up around 4:30AM most days. I love the early hours; there's a sense of clarity and stillness. I leave my blinds slightly open so the sun gradually wakes me. The first thing I do is pray Fajr and drink two glasses of water. I then head out for a 30-minute walk with my German Shepherd Ares. Once I'm back home, I start my morning routine. I begin by dry brushing my skin to exfoliate. After that, I jump into the shower, using my favourite body wash, Aesop Geranium Leaf. I apply natural musk oil that I get from Egypt, as it provides a fresh, clean scent (strong perfumes often give me headaches). Next, I brush my teeth, scrape my tongue, and cleanse my face with Beauty of Joseon facial wash. I use organic rose water as a toner, followed by a Vitamin C serum from BioMedical Emporium. To finish, I moisturise with Sisley and apply SPF50. Part of my routine consists of taking a few drops of black seed oil, followed by a warm drink of lemon water mixed with apple cider vinegar and a homemade ginger-turmeric immunity shot. I enjoy both dressing up and dressing down. Vintage pieces are a passion of mine, and I constantly look for ways to mix and match different shapes, styles, and textures. I prefer not to put too much effort into fashion and tend to shy away from perfection. I love outfits that make a strong statement about the wearer's personality or mood; to me, it's more about standing out than blending in. Ultimately, I believe there should be no strict rules when it comes to fashion, and I usually don't follow trends. I have a soft spot for ruffles, bows, and polka dots, and I prefer minimal make-up, messy hair, and comfortable jeans. I enjoy adding accessories like simple gold hoop earrings, red nail polish, and sunglasses. I aim to get ready in five to 10 minutes. I find inspiration in Caroline de Maigret and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy; chic yet effortless. They are women who dress for themselves. 6AM, I check my emails and messages. 8AM I always aim for a savoury breakfast that's high in protein. Most days, I have eggs with avocado on toast, topped with goat labneh and za'atar. On other days, I enjoy overnight oats, chia pudding with blueberries, and almond butter. I live with my parents, Ahmed and Azza, as well as my dog and my two cats, Asal and Tahina. Every morning, we typically meet at our local coffee shop. They have their coffee while I sip on hot water. We chat for a while before starting our days. 9AM I have a morning class, rotating between Pilates, barre, Synkro, and yoga throughout the week. I'm currently carrying a Chanel 22 bag filled with a scarf, grip socks for Pilates, sunscreen, dates, a power bank, and lip products. After class, I treat myself to a cup of matcha before heading to the office. 11AM I dedicate my mornings to creative direction and deep work, which often feels like organised chaos. It's loud and filled with mood boards, fabric swatches, and samples. I love the creative freedom that comes with working with fabrics, creating mood boards, and watching ideas come to life. However, I really dislike administrative work. 1PM I take a packed lunch to work. It often consists of a warm salad, grilled protein, or a Mediterranean dish. I strive to eat natural, clean, home-cooked meals. When I feel like indulging, I bake desserts that are free of refined sugar. Sometimes, I have lunch with my team, while other days I eat with my family, who work next door. We are a small, close-knit team of about 15 people, and we may lunch together and brainstorm. Afternoons are filled with meetings. Ares comes to work with me, and at 3PM we go out for some fresh air. 4-5PM Evenings typically involve preparing dinner. Occasionally, I go out with friends; I prefer early dinners since I don't like to eat or stay up late. I also enjoy hosting intimate gatherings at home. We gather around the table in the garden with candles, enjoying good conversation. 7PM is dinner time. My favourite meal is grilled sea bass with roasted vegetables. After dinner, Ares and I take a walk before returning home to shower and join my parents in the living room for some fruit and a bit of TV. 9:30PM My nightly routine begins with supplements; magnesium, a castor oil patch, and lavender oil, as sleep is critical to me. I am a light sleeper so my room has to be calm and pitch black. All Imagery Supplied

The unexpectedly high-end homewares you can find on the high street
Designer-quality homeware normally comes with a price tag to match – but if you know where to look, there are some gems to be found on a budget this season. Several high-street brands have been raising their interiors game by introducing elevated materials, collaborating with well-known designers and producing limited-edition ranges with thoughtful decorative details. Here are some key collections to have on your radar. Zara Home x Collagerie The debut collaboration between the British shopping platform Collagerie and the Spanish fashion brand Zara was a sell-out success last summer; and the second collaboration, which has just launched, looks to be just as covetable. Designed by Collagerie's chief creative officer (and former British Vogue fashion director) Lucinda Chambers, the collection demonstrates her flair for combining bold colours in a way that looks effortlessly chic, never garish, and her knack for pinpointing the details that give a piece a high-end, handmade look. 'To push the boundaries both in terms of colour juxtapositions and materials and design is very important for Zara Home and Collagerie,' says Chambers, who describes the process of working on the collection as 'joyous'. 'To make things that resonate, excite and stand out as beautiful standalone pieces as well as the collection as a whole is key.' The pieces include furniture, textiles, ceramics and wall art, in earthy tones and tactile textures, with prices starting from £7.99. We predict the blankets, the stripey woven chair and matching footstool, and the chunky ceramic serving dishes that could have come from a market in Deia, will be this year's runaway hits. John Lewis Pieces from John Lewis's autumn-winter 2025 collection are already starting to drop, and its Modern Luxe range is one to look out for. Sofas and armchairs with chocolate-brown velvet upholstery and sleek chrome frames have a loungy, 1970s vibe, and the wooden furniture pieces have a particularly upscale look. Burl wood – which has a distinctive, knotty grain and a glossy lacquered finish – is set to be a key element of the coming collection, and pieces such as the burl walnut coffee (£399) and bedside table (£349) look far more expensive than they are. A little table lamp with a marble base called Porcini isn't exactly cheap at £200, but would potentially cost three times that price elsewhere. H&M Home Shop wisely at H&M and you can find accessories that will elevate a room, yet cost just a few pounds. Clever collaborations with high-end partners – most recently, a summery collection with the Caribbean hotel Palm Heights – help to lend the brand a more luxurious look, but its own-design pieces also include plenty of gems. Right now, there are some chic pieces in materials such as marble, velvet and corduroy, including a marble side table and floor lamp, both £99.99, and trays, kitchenware and candlesticks from £6.99. Look out for table linens too – an embroidered tablecloth is a steal at £39.99. Next Home Next hasn't always been known for a luxe style, but it has recently been quietly upping the ante with its N Premium range. The neutral palette of the furniture and textiles help to give a more expensive look: standout current pieces include an oak and marble side table for £399, a curved oak-veneer bedside table for £475, and a brass ceiling light for £150 that could pass for a far pricier designer version. Next's collaboration with the interior decorator Nina Campbell has produced a collection with a designer edge, but in an entirely different style, with colour, pattern and decorative detail: the lighting and storage pieces are especially good. M&S If you associate M&S homewares with a slightly fusty look, you might be surprised to see some of its more recent accessories. As with its fashion collections, the company is clearly targeting a younger, trend-conscious shopper, and producing its own versions of certain zeitgeisty pieces that have been all over Instagram – chequerboard and stripe motifs on textiles and ceramics, and table lamps with scalloped shades, for instance. Its ongoing collaboration with Kelly Hoppen has also produced some designer ceramics and hotel-inspired bedding and throws. Anthropologie American brand Anthropologie can be relied upon as a source for limited-edition pieces that you won't spot in everyone else's house. Its Hale furniture collection, with tables and storage pieces covered in a leafy botanical print, is a case in point – although with a starting price of £898 for a chest of drawers, it's at the upper end of the high street price range. The tableware comes at more of a pick-me-up price: the current Benedita collection of hand-painted stoneware with a pretty bow motif starts from a more accessible £12.
