Alexandra began her career as an architect before pivoting to interiors, working as an interior designer for Rose Uniacke. It was here that the seed of her future direction in homeware design was sown. Working on a project for a client’s holiday home in Cap Ferrat, she couldn’t find the perfect tiles for his bathroom. So she decided to create her own.

Thus the Pampelonne Tile was born: hand-painted ceramic tiles fired in a kiln in her basement.

Weddings are feeling less traditional and far more personal. Couples are moving away from polished perfection in favour of atmosphere, individuality and details that feel layered with meaning. Think candlelight over floral installations, initials over themes and tables that borrow from intimate dinner parties rather than classic receptions. The modern wedding is becoming an exercise in world-building, where every detail, from the lapel to the place setting, feels curated.

The pharmacy is an unlikely candidate for great interiors. It is a shop that exists to hand over paracetamol. And yet for several centuries it was where a town put its money: the ceramics were commissioned, the cabinetry was made to measure, the ceiling was painted with allegories of healing by someone who had also done a church.
Then the twentieth century arrived with strip lighting. What follows survived it.

Our Co-Founder and Creative Director Laura Jackson drives two weeks up Ireland's west coast.
"Every summer we go somewhere less obvious. Last year Sweden and Gotland, this year Ireland. Three kids under six, a family van, a ferry from Holyhead into Rosslare, and two weeks working our way up the Wild Atlantic Way. We had planned to do it in a camper until we saw the price. What I hadn't expected was the food - local, seasonal, plain and very good - or how much better a pub is when there is live music and nobody is looking at your children. Tropical-looking beaches, cold Atlantic swims, lobster eaten on an empty stretch of sand. Ireland has my heart." Laura

The first week of September. Back to school, and a lot on the horizon - Open House, Soho Jazz Festival, the city waking up again. These are the eight things that have inspired me this week.

There is a slowness to embroidery that survives the finished object. Every stitch is a decision made by hand, and it shows - in the slight irregularity of a line, the density of a filled motif, the sense that someone sat with this for hours. The five brands in this edit approach the craft differently: some draw on folk traditions passed down through generations, others treat the needle like a pencil. What they share is a refusal to hurry. These are the brands to follow if you love embroidery.

5 Embroidery Brands To Follow

With the heatwave in full swing, we want to be anywhere but inside - unless there's aircon, which, in British homes, doesn't exist. So: dinner on a paddleboard, a bottle of rosé in a Lime bike basket packed with ice, or the nearest patch of grass with a picnic. Meals don't need to be complicated. Wherever you end up, just not inside.

Trending: Anywhere but Inside

Eurovision is the one night a year when maximum effort is not only acceptable but essentially mandatory, so your party should match the energy. Start with a ballot sheet for every guest, and a snack spread loosely themed around the competing countries. Dress code is sequins or go home. Have a signature cocktail, pick your favourites before the voting opens, and prepare to be completely wrong about who wins. Chaotic, communal, and completely unmissable - exactly as intended.

With a little creativity, they can be twisted, tied, or sculpted into shapes that feel just as delightful as the meal itself.

They add a touch of artistry, charm, and personality to the table, making even everyday meals feel special. Here are a few ideas to style your napkins and bring extra joy to your table setting.
