A well dressed bed

Taking inspiration from the stylish chic boutique hotel suites, divine bedlinen and well chosen accessories not only bring a feeling of luxury to the bedroom but a sense of opulence and glamour. Layering high thread count linens with sumptuous textures such as silk, cashmere and velvet create a bedroom that is a haven of pampering and comfort. Here are a few of my favourites!

The Perfect White Bathroom

Are you are inspired by a vintage roll top bath with claw and ball feet, Rococo mirrors, apothecary jars & chandeliers? Or perhaps you prefer a more rustic farmhouse feel with natural stone, scrubbed floors boards, beams and rattan baskets. These gorgeous ideas have one element in common, all are heavenly white rooms in which to relax,indulge or just bathe!
