Wood brass sideboard did you say? Well feast your eyes people. Just feast. I get asked so many times by clients about sideboards and a good sideboard is surprisingly hard to find. In that you can easily find lots for squillions of pounds. But, for some reason, in the -I just want something nice and…
It’s only the second of the month and already I have bought one thing (yesterday’s lightbox) and am about to buy another – this tray. I love trays. I have no idea why. Perhaps it’s the ceremonial aspect of them. Bringing in a tray with two mugs or glasses on it (along with a plate…
I’m so excited to show you my latest shop discovery as I think you are going to love it. Handvärk is a new Danish furniture brand with a small, but beautifully, curated collection of furniture made mainly from steel, brass, leather and marble. Are you in? I thought so. It was set up only three…
So when you’ve painted your walls in a fabulous neutral shade (by which I mean grey of any description) or left them white and painted the cornicing only in a distinctive shade (by which I might mean grey of any description) you need to start adding in the furniture and lighting. Now, for those of…

At a meeting with a client the other day, we were working our way around her house room by room when we came to the bedroom. A huge light space with a large brass bedstead and a Loaf Bagsie sofa in one corner (I told you it was big), she showed me the bare bulb…
My love of grey paint is not entirely news to you, but recently I have been thinking of taking it a step further. This is my sitting room as photographed recently for the made.com/unboxed platform. The walls are painted in Farrow & Balls’s Downpipe as are the library shelves at the other end of the room…
Sometimes you just see a collection of photographs and they’re so gorgeous you have to share them. These are from the new collection at H&M Home which is either in store or coming very soon so I thought you might like to see them again. A black wall with a splash of copper or brass against it…
I don’t know whether I’m more excited at the affordability of these fabulous gold and nickel pendant lights, or the fact that they have been photographed against a navy blue wall.
