Stolen Moments: The French Way
One thing I adore about the French approach to life and interiors is the belief that small moments matter. A quiet pause in a warm café. A soft morning light falling across crumpled linen. A breakfast in bed that makes you feel held, rather than hurried.
December is abundant: school concerts, gatherings, gift-buying, wrapping, decorating, writing cards - layers of love that require our attention. Taking tiny pockets of time for yourself can transform these rituals from feeling like chores into moments filled with meaning.
More than ever during this time, your bedroom becomes the sanctuary where you reclaim yourself. Ten quiet minutes in the morning can reset an entire day.
The Heart of Christmas: Family, Friends & the Homes That Hold Us
As much as December asks from us, it also gives us something valuable: memories.
Christmas has a way of pulling our most cherished people back into the heart of the home, children racing down the stairs, friends dropping by for wine, grandparents telling the same cherished stories. It is in these small, familiar moments that the true spirit of the season resides.
When you have a home you love, one that feels warm, soft, lovingly curated - it becomes more than a place, it becomes a scene for memories, a backdrop to laughter, generosity, and those quiet late-night conversations that linger long after guests have gone.
A refined home doesn’t need to be perfect; it simply needs to feel welcoming.
Soft throws, warm candle light, a thoughtful bedside book, a comforting scent drifting through the hallway, these little choices create a space where guests feel cared for, and where family can truly exhale.
There is a unique joy in opening your door to people you love and thinking: My home was made for moments like this.
A Sweet Ritual: Sablés de Noël in Bed
Among my favourite December traditions is baking Sablés de Noël — delicate French Christmas biscuits dusted with snow-like sugar. They’re simple, delicious, and wonderfully nostalgic. They are easy to make with the children, fill the home with warmth and scent, inviting everyone to gather, nibble, and chat.
We've put the recipe for Sablés de Noël at the end so you can make and enjoy with your morning coffee, or serve on a tray when friends stop by. They’re a sweet reminder that joy is often found in the simplest gestures.
Joy for French Bedroom in 2025
Within our business, it is our passion for people, our customers, partners, and our team that fills our hearts as the year closes.
We’re ending 2025 filled with gratitude:
Another year of wonderful customer feedback.
A community who cherishes beauty, emotion, and storytelling.
New collections inspired by romantic maximalism, botanical nostalgia, and soft, feminine interiors.
I am especially proud of the designs we have created this year, pieces infused with gentle curves, layered textures, and the timeless romance of enduring French style.
As 2026 will be our 20th anniversary you can expect exclusive upholstered beds, rich textiles, new prints, and designs shaped around our forever interior theme: Home as Our Sanctuary.
The Wonderful Women of Christmas
The wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, aunties, godparents, it is the women in our households who transform a house to a home. It is not the ‘elves’ - it is the women who don't stop before or during the festive period. Every bed that needs to be made up, presents that need to be wrapped, tables that need to be set, and plates filled - in my experience this is always spearheaded by women.
I see you, I salute you and I hope that you find time to take in your carefully curated surroundings, to truly congratulate yourself on the decorations, to really taste the flavours of the many dishes you have agonised over - to recognise how different it would be if you were not there.
A Wish for Your Winter
Until next time, I wish you and your home:
Peaceful moments of quiet
Slow mornings cosseted in soft blankets
Biscuits brought to you in bed by little hands
A home filled with warmth and welcome
Happy memories with the people who matter most
