Product Information

I do walk a lot, and that's important for my head and my body, but I'm not an exerciser and I’m not very engaged with wellness! Really my sense of wellbeing comes from my emotional relationships. It increases massively when I spend time with the people I love. What the generous, warm and happy owners of my childhood home demonstrated that day was that the most beautiful homes are not made with money, they are made with love, and no amount of cash can disguise an unhappy one. It is extremely important to me, a slovenly homebody, that every soft seat in my house is a bed waiting to happen. If a sofa can’t be lain on comfortably, then it’s no good to me. An armchair that forces its occupier to sit upright like a Bond villain, rather than curled up like a cat, is a waste of space. So, to that end, I have Welsh wool blankets on every seat, and a hamper full of inexpensive but soft, machine-washable throws so that any of us can slope in and unthinkingly pull out something snuggly for watching telly or catching 40 winks with the dog.

I grew up with my father and brothers and was the only girl in the house, so appearance wasn’t discussed; it just wasn't a thing and I'm grateful for that. I also never heard either of my parents talk negatively or otherwise about how they looked, which I think gives you a good grounding because then beauty becomes a fun, life-enhancing thing and not a battle you're trying to win.

Kitchen fitting A cheap kitchen fitted expertly will look way better than a luxury kitchen fitted badly. No exceptions. Good fitting is what makes a kitchen.

Many people swear by a dash of bleach in the vase water, and it certainly does help since it kills the bacteria. But, mentally, I can’t quite get past what feels to me, quite irrationally, to be a bit “murdery”. I prefer a few drops of Milton Sterilising Fluid or a dash of neat vodka, both of which work well.

If this is to be the only picture in the space, it’s usually ideal to place it at the centre point along the wall, with equal space on either side. If there are multiple pictures, measure to the midpoint of your chosen gap between artworks.Something as simple as repositioning your lighting or even just changing your bulbs can almost imperceptibly alter a room’s mood. The methodical, almost mindless, busywork of clearing out the freezer or kitchen crap drawer can be a living metaphor for processing your own cluttered thoughts and feelings. Home improvement is so much more than displacement activity because, unlike cycling through social media, it actually leads us to somewhere we’d like to be: a calm sanctuary to call our own. Toasters The less your toaster looks like a vintage Winnebago, the more likely it is to live a long life of toasting bread properly. I’ve never had any problems with an inexpensive Russell Hobbs.
