Today’s workspace is for fans of simple sophistication. Moody and simple but wonderfully done. The pieces in the room provide the interest, layers and different textures – all of which stop the room from looking flat and just ‘black’. I couldn’t live with an all-black room, just as I couldn’t live with an all-white one [...]
Collaborative Design at Boxpark
Recently at Boxpark, six new(ish) designers came together to show off their latest creations. Collaborative Design is made up of GreenCorgi, Uberstar, The*Teashed, Apologies to Banksy, londonbeatbox and Victoria Eggs. As you’d expect from young design companies, their pieces are quirky, clever, new twists on old products and beautifully made. Here are a few of [...]
Dulux Ultra White
Last week courtesy of the very nice folks at Dulux, I took a trip to their Ultra White House here in London to check out the new ‘Ultra White’ paint. It was a bright sunny day and the ultra whiteness started from outside. According to Dulux, Ultra White is ‘”a high performance paint which combines its [...]
Workspace Wednesday
Classic style doesn’t have to be classic (or boring as some might say). If you like your pieces with a little history on them but appreciate a twist – you can shake them up. This chair has been given a new lease of life with some fabulous fabric in an attention grabbing colour, while [...]
Sanderson bedding
Sanderson, the very English company with an incredible history. I’m a fan, a fully signed up fan as I talked about here. I don’t think there’s anything they do that I don’t like. Some of their wallpapers and fabrics feature heavily on my ‘forever home’ wish list, and now bedding from their home accessories collection [...]
Moo.com
Nine times out of ten when I hand someone my business card they say ‘ooh this is a nice card, where did you get it from?’ My answer is always the same – moo.com. I use them, nearly everyone I know uses them and as far as companies go, they’re a pretty groovy one. Their [...]
Workspace Wednesday
The workspace today is a vision in mint. A really cute corner workspace created with the clever use of one bureau / tallboy that complements the colour scheme of the room. Perfectly put together.

Lighting
How often do you look at your lighting / ceiling lights / lampshades (not when they’re on obviously because that would hurt your eyes) but like really look at them. I studied a few of mine the other day and was a) slightly shocked at the amount of dust one some of them (for shame) [...]
Hillarys new collection
Have you seen Hillarys new collection? If not, allow me… The Burst and Foley curtains are my particular favourites. I’m rather liking the colour ways, prints and shapes. The entire ‘Revive’ collection is available now from hillarys.co.uk – Photography by Hillarys – you can subscribe to this ‘ere blog on bloglovin see what’s [...]
Workspace Wednesday
One for you fans of black and white. Simple stripes create a powerful statement, especially on just one wall. Simple workspaces are my favourite – a great desk and a chair. Done.
