There's something so reassuring about a soft, well-loved antique linen that just makes me want to fill my whole home with it at the moment. Many of the cushion covers out there are a bit fussy, with frills, buttons and overlaps but ours, which I have designed in collaboration with British seamstress Lou Weir, are crisp and clean. The linen is so characterful anyway there's no need to add extra detailing and this way you can happily throw different stripes and colours together for a really fresh and effortless look.

We're half way through the Greenstead photo shoot and we're really pleased with the results so far. Our new range of rustic hand-made ceramics are going to go down a storm. You might have seen an article in this month's Elle Decoration featuring how to mix old and new and the new wave of hand-made ceramics that are creeping into fashion again. The range that we've pulled together for Greenstead is very on trend with it's gentle grey hue, split-glaze and chunky detail. The great thing about these wonderful pieces, hand-made in Scotland by a local ceramicist, is how easily they sit alongside more fragile jugs and vases that you might already have. The modern era of decoration and design is about housing your own eclectic collection and mixing everything to reflect your own personality and tastes.
