Damson Madder is excited to announce the launch of our debut lifestyle collection. Having last year launched a sell-out range of one off ceramic pieces handmade and painted by longtime brand collaborator Poppy Almond, we have teamed up to bring a full range to life for AW23. Poppy’s designs have been recreated and hand-painted in India, maintaining the one-of-a-kind charm of the originals; with every piece being completely unique.

A classic colour pairing that harmonises in all the right ways, chocolate and duck egg are understated by design. A rich, velvety brown meets a soft, chalky blue-green - earthy warmth against cool calm.
Chocolate brings depth and grounding, while duck egg brings quiet freshness and a touch of the unexpected. Together, they complement each other effortlessly, creating a look that feels timeless, considered, and quietly confident.

Chocolate & Duck Egg

Whether you take yours classic and pillowy, spiked with Earl Grey, loaded with bacon and egg, or sandwiched around a malted milk semifreddo, hot cross bun season has never looked quite like this. From a 15th-century bakery in Suffolk to a Parisian coffee shop in the 19th arrondissement, a Camberwell high street to the inner-north of Melbourne - this is our definitive guide to the most interesting buns worth tracking down this Easter.

Where to Get the Best Hot Cross Buns

Spend a few minutes with Dee Rettali, Founder of Fortitude Bakehouse and you quickly sense that baking, for her, is rooted in instinct, memory and place. Raised in rural North Cork, surrounded by farmland and seasonal produce, she grew up learning to bake from her mother and grandmother - soda breads, jams and apple pies made simply and well.
After moving to London in the late 80s, Dee found her calling in professional baking, eventually founding Fortitude Bakehouse, now known for its nostalgic, craft-led bakes. Here, she reflects on Irish food traditions, instinctive baking and the flavours that still define home.

St Patrick’s Day with Dee

Looking for an evening ritual without wine that still feels indulgent? This Glassette guide explores what to replace wine with instead, from warm drinks and alcohol-free aperitifs to calming objects and sensory cues that help you properly wind down. Practical, design-led ideas for creating a grown-up evening ritual without deprivation.

The Evening Ritual Checklist: What to Replace Wine With

Most of us want the same thing from our bedrooms: to switch off. But somewhere between laundry piles, over-bright lighting, and well-intentioned styling, calm can quietly slip away. Learning how to create a calm bedroom isn’t about chasing a minimalist ideal or copying a hotel room wholesale. It’s about understanding what helps your nervous system slow down, softer light, fewer decisions, materials that feel good to touch, and then shaping the room around that. Calm isn’t a look. It’s a feeling you notice when you exhale.

Looking for modern winter hosting ideas that feel relaxed, warm and design-led? This Glassette guide explores the new dinner party - less formal, more comfortable, and genuinely enjoyable. From lighting and table rules to food that works for real life, discover how to host beautifully in winter without stress, performance or perfection.

Guide to Winter Hosting

There are two types of bedside lighting. The first is a single bright lamp that makes you feel like you’re about to complete a tax return. The second is the kind you find in hotels: soft, low, flattering the lighting equivalent of a good robe. The difference isn’t just aesthetics. Bedside lighting is the thing that decides whether your evenings feel like a gentle landing or a hard stop. It’s what makes reading possible, makes your bedroom feel warm instead of functional, and (quietly) tells your brain it can start powering down. A good bedside set-up doesn’t need a full bedroom overhaul. It just needs the right light, at the right height, with a little bit of softness built in.

The Bedside Lighting Edit

A calm bedroom doesn’t require a full clean - just a smarter system. This guide breaks down the 15-minute bedroom reset that actually works, with time-coded steps you can repeat daily: make the bed properly, clear visual clutter fast, reset the nightstand and surfaces, and finish with one sensory cue. You’ll also find the most common mistakes, a simple shopping list, and quick picks for when you only have five minutes. Designed for real life - not perfect homes.

15-Minute Bedroom Reset

Easy, joyful hosting with Laura Jackson, as featured in Vogue.
There’s a particular kind of magic that appears when people gather around a table - conversation builds, glasses clink, and the evening finds its own rhythm. For Laura Jackson, hosting isn’t about striving for perfection, but about creating a space that feels warm, expressive, and genuinely welcoming.

Bringing the Table Together

Boxing Day is for staying horizontal.
Start with layers of cushions. Add a hot water bottle for extra warmth. Finish with a big quilt - or maybe two. You’re not aiming for proper sleep, just drifting: half-awake, half-dreaming, wrapped in comfort, with the vague possibility of a leftover mince pie within reach.

Boxing Day Nap

This month’s colour pairing brings together cranberry and eggnog - a rich maroon red paired with a soft egg white. Cranberry brings depth and festive warmth, while eggnog balances it with a creamy, calming softness. It’s a combination we’re seeing everywhere right now, from food styling to interiors.

Put the kettle on and spend five minutes with Tessa Faulkner, the woman behind one of West London’s most beloved neighbourhood spots, Layla Bakery.
What began as a personal longing for an East-London-style bakery closer to home became a lockdown-born idea that grew into Layla: a place defined by craft, comfort and connection. She shares the inspirations behind her seasonal baking, the stories from her kitchen table, and the simple rituals that shape her life in and out of the bakery.

Tessa's Kitchen Table

For all your gifting moments with the baker in your life! For the friend who brings homemade cookies to every gathering, or the colleague who’s always trialling a new loaf. These are gifts that feel thoughtful without the second-guessing. Think a baking book from Phaidon or Gestalten to spark their next creation, a set of baking tools from Dexam or Our Place, or a classic Le Creuset piece to elevate their kitchen repertoire.

Gifting for Bakers
