choosing the right bed linen... "a bedroom needs to be a place to retreat, relax, unwind and enjoy a little luxury. Pure cotton sheets, fluffy feather duvets and pillows will create the nest which can be dressed according to each season: crisp white for summer, warm nurturing colours for winter."
obsessed with ... " Stripes! Even after designing them for 25 years, a good stripe can still light me up if the colours and pattern are right."
accessorising a bed... " Matching bedskirt and European pillows help to balance the bed then layers of pillows and cushions to nestle into .. ooh and a lovely husband or partner!"
buying sheets... "Cotton, cotton, cotton! Thick cotton flannel for winter and luscious matt sateen for cool summer nights."
making your bedroom look fantastic in 5 minutes..." Fresh cushions, a quilt and a lovely fragrance thanks to favourite scented candles and/or flowers."
stay away from ..." Polyester or any other synthetic fabric blends. Sleep only with nautral fibres, which help wick moisture away from your skin while you slumber."
web shopping ..." A great way to shop for your home, from your home. As long as the on-line store has great images and loads of info, you can shop with confidence and look forward to a parcel arriving on your doorstep (in a lovely laundry bag, if from Wallace Cotton)."
the never fail gift for the home... " Depending on budget and occassion, towels, sheets or teatowels. I like taking an apron along to dinner parties.
every woman should have ... " An enormous linen cupboard, preferably with no back on it so you can keep piling stuff into it without ever having to throw out old favourites. Mind you, the annual clean out and perfect folding can be a beautiful thing too."
how much is too much ..." when you just can't get the linen cupboard doors to shut."
