I recently attended The White Company Christmas & A/W press show and as always, I loved all of their products. It helped that the location was a grand Georgian town house with large open fires and painted with a striking grey Farrow & Ball colour- the perfect backdrop for this style of homeware. There was a good mix of accessories on show which was all in their signature array of muted tones and including dining, bedroom, bathroom and livingroom.
Texture has always been a key focal point for their textiles and this show was no different, I especially liked the cable knit woolen cushion and throw; you just want to pick it up and rub it against you cheek (or maybe that’s just me!).
The chinaware was as you would expect with clean and simple lines in refreshing whites teamed with pretty glass votives with a subtle vintage feel.
Soft white cotton and linen bedding was on display mixed with stylish textured throws and for the accessories there were some silver trimmed picture frames. For the bathroom we liked the pretty glass jars with sweet smelling bath salts (always a good investment as the jar can be used again) a wide selection of new candle fragrances to use while relaxing in the bath-my favourite is Winter, I absolutely love the smell! And some very soft bath towels with a feature patterned trim.

I wanted to share these pretty chairs with you as they are certainly ‘of the moment’ with the strong ‘folk’ trend still going strongthe. Each swatch of fabric has been carefully handpicked by the designer; Kelly Swallows. I think this chair would look great as a statement piece in the livingroom or bedroom. Kelly has just launched her website and is available for commissions. 
Here is what Kelly has to say about hers designs-my chairs are individually sourced vintage pieces, each with its own unique charm. The personality of every piece is rediscovered by painstakingly and lovingly choosing an exciting collection of fabrics to create unique pieces with newfound splendour. The fabrics range from vintage to designer including Kenzo, Zoffany, Liberty, Andrew Martin, Designers Guild, Osborne & Little, Lorca, Mulberry – an eclectic mix with exciting and surprising contrasts.

If you love all things natural then you will be a fan of this trend. Expect to see raw elements; wood grain furniture, concrete walls and tables, industrial style lamps, textured fabrics…you get the picture! Below is a moodboard that I created to demonstrate the look. I have included an image of Pizza East in Shoreditch as this epitomises the trend.

With winter closing in we are all looking for ways to keep our homes cozy and contain the heat. For this reason we thought now would be a good time to publish a feature on curtains and blinds.
Knowing what to buy can be a tricky task as there is so much to choose from. You also have to try and work out the measurements. Over the next few weeks we will be looking at various styles, offering you the chance to win your own set of curtains as well as publishing a genius step by step video from The Natural Curtain Company showing you how to measure up for curtain tracks, curtain poles and roman blinds…we hope you enjoy the features.
The above images are from Luxaflex, they have a huge selection of Roman blinds which are suitable for any room in the home. I particularly like the pleated blinds above as they maintain privacy while still allowing in some light. If you’re looking for a blind with an elegant pattern then the design below may be a good option. The blinds are from The Natural Curtain Company. The pattern itself is fairly traditional and yes it look beautiful as a back drop to this modern livingroom.

This glamorous look is so now now now! It’s all about brights and the best thing is it’s all from the very affordable BHS.
The basic rule to apply when decorating is to stick to a maximum of two colours (you can use various shades of this colour within the scheme) and then introduce a third texture for the furniture. In this image they have used glass but white high gloss or modern dark wood furniture would have worked equally as well. You can buy all the items in store now.

Due to the current financial climate, many homeowners are taking the time to stay in their homes and enjoy them a bit more due to either not selling at the moment or saving money.
We are quite used to the garish wallpapers of the old houses we grew up in and so in true rebellious style everyone began to paint their houses white, off white or even cream!

People are always asking me where they can source reclaimed and repro antique products such as roll tops baths, old fireplaces, cast iron radiators or simply antique pieces for home renovations. Here is a list of my favourite ones in London.
