The Great Indoors: Creating Magic at Home

While the world buzzes outside, a new kind of luxury is quietly taking centre stage. We’re calling it The Great Indoors.

More than just a passing trend, this is a lifestyle shift that celebrates the simple joy of staying in. It embraces meaningful moments, elevated home entertaining, and finding beauty in the everyday. Whether it’s a rainy weekend or an ordinary Wednesday, transforming your space into a haven for connection, creativity, and comfort is easier than ever with Chef’s Complements.

We’ve curated everything you need to turn your home into the ultimate destination for slow living, great food, and unforgettable indoor gatherings.

Start with pieces that spark joy, like the new Le Creuset Nuit Collection. This deep, moody blue enhances every table setting, from quiet dinners to celebratory get-togethers. With casseroles, dinner plates, salt and pepper grinders, and much more, the Nuit collection is designed to impress while making each dish feel like comfort food.

Put your phones away and bring back good old-fashioned fun. Games Room or Talking Tables trivia cards are the perfect way to add some light-hearted entertainment and friendly competition to your next get-together. The stylish, boxed sets look great on the coffee table and are just as fun to play.

Don’t miss the cheesy jokes from Talking Tables, they’re guaranteed to get everyone laughing (or groaning).

Say Cheese! (Literally)

Keep the fun going with a delicious spread to match, presented on the Tempa Fromagerie Deluxe Grazing Board Set, or the Emile Henry La Cheese Box, which becomes a stunning serving platter once turned over.

Cold nights call for warm, gooey comfort. If you’re feeling fancy, try your hand with the Swissmar Biel Copper Fondue Set. It’s delicious, interactive, and just messy enough to be memorable.

For something a little less extravagant but equally moreish, the Le Creuset Camembert Baker or the Boska Cheese Baker are two stunning options: just add crackers and wine.

Hosting a pizza night? Level it up with the Cuisinart Pizzeria Pro or MasterPro Ultimate Pizza Oven. Or take it to Pro-levels with our DeliVita Pizza Ovens; Wood-Fired & Gas-Fired. Find out which one is best for you

Prefer to keep it classic? The Lodge Cast Iron Pizza Pan delivers crispy results every time. Don’t forget the Davis & Waddell Pizza Board and Wheel Cutter for serving in style.

Sweet Dreams

For dessert, nothing beats nostalgia. The Remarkable S’mores Kit contains everything you need to make these traditional treats from the comfort of your own home. The Davis & Waddell Electric Candy Floss Maker is another fun and memorable way to get your sweet-tooth fix.

Bring the bar home with our full range of cocktail accessories and glassware. For something truly show-stopping, try the Avanti Cocktail & Spirit Smoking Kit for that smoky, speakeasy vibe.
