Measure, measure, measure. Cut up newspaper into the footprint shape of the item to see how it sits in the room (and that it fits through your door & up the stairs). It's always heart-breaking talking to customers who find something is too large to fit through the doors!
A French bed, because that's where it all begins!
The Love in Idleness Bed with its reversible headboard. I'm a big fan of floral and stripe combinations, so the aesthetic reflects my taste and style perfectly. Plus, a lot of my job is finding creative solutions to problems - aiming to keep everyone happy - and this bed does just that!
Founder & Creative Director
Don't be afraid of choosing more than one colour in your room scheme. As long as the style of products matches (say, all French furniture), you can mix cream, gold, silver or white & it will look right without being too matchy-matchy!
A huge chest of drawers, keeping lots of things organised & under control (just don't look at the state of my desk!)
The Chateauneuf collection of unpainted traditional French furniture. I love the quality of detailing from our craftspeople who have passed down their skills from generation to generation. The combination of classic French design with natural materials, I can see why our customers are always delighted with this collection.
Finance & Operations Director
Shopping for homeware brings me so much joy, yet finding something I truly love can be tricky. That's why I never leave something behind if I love it.
Bedside tables are by your side for a lifetime, I keep a little angel in my bedside that my Mum gave to me. I think everyone has something sentimental close by when they dream.
Our Garden Collection. I love hearing how customers connect with the nostalgic patterns. Championing British craftswomanship, each piece is upholstered, sewn, stitched, by women in the UK who've crafted their seamstress and upholstery skills over a lifetime. Made by women, for women - what's not to love?
Managing Director
My number one top tip when buying pieces for your home is buy products that make you smile every time you see them. Buying furniture is not only a financial investment but an emotional one too, which has a direct influence on your day to day life style and wellbeing. These pieces should bring you joy and happiness, if you buy with your heart you won't go far wrong!
The Love Story Taupe Velvet Buttoned Upholstered Bed. Elegant, sleek and timeless.
Customer Experience Manager
Don't be afraid to mix & match your older pieces with new purchases; some of our lovely French furniture looks amazing jazzed up with a pair of contemporary cushions.
My favourite product would be the Forest Grove Tallboy Chest of Drawers - it's beautiful, tall, glossy, slim and with 6 drawers what more could you want?
Goods in Flow
Go with ideas that fit with multiple schemes which gives you opportunities to be versatile. Also, don't be afraid to go with your instinct.
Soho Cloud Grey Velvet Bed - it's simple but effective. The shade of grey is modern & goes with so much. What more could you want than to feel like you're sleeping on a cloud.
Customer Experience
Buy pieces that make you smile when you look at them and that reflect what you love, even if it's not what everyone else prefers.
Since we launched the Gustavian collection, it has surpassed my previous favourite - the Chateauneuf! I love a natural wood and the ash wood used in the Gustavian provides the perfect stripped-back yet sophisticated feel to a bedroom.
Customer Experience
Don't be afraid to choose your favourite things! They maybe a little mismatched but I love the unpredictability of eclectic style. It's a real treat to look around a room & find interesting objects which add character to the room & its curator.
A beautifully crafted period style statement armchair, just as satisfying to look at as it is to curl up in & enjoy!
I love everything about the Twilight Blue Renaissance Rug and hopefully one will be mine one day!
Head of Product Design & Production
If you're struggling to visualise a place for a piece of furniture or even a colour scheme, Pinterest will be your new best friend. I love going down an interiors worm-hole online.
I'd be a beautiful Chateauneuf Rattan Bed because I'd love to end up living in a French farmhouse one day & this is exactly where I envisage this bed!
Our new Avenue Blanc collection is my newest obsession. Its timeless design is so versatile, I absolutely love it for any interior style. I like to combine both traditional furniture with more modern pieces in my home and this entire collection would work beautifully with that aesthetic.
Purchasing Manager
Statement pieces are key & can completely transform a room, taking it from bland to chic in seconds. Don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone!
I would be a Boodles Blanc Chest, versatile and dependable with function and form.
Avenue Blanc hands down is my favourite EVER collection! It is so elegant and timeless. Not to mention the gorgeous fluting details that are to die for.
Operations & Purchasing Lead
Sometimes I feel like design/ art can be overthought, so go with your instinct. If you think that new piece will work in your home, chances are it will. If it's out your comfort zone I would say trust it even more.
My favourite product is a tough one, it would probably be the Mulberry Silk Pillowcase. I cannot sing its praises highly enough and is now a key travel companion. Once you go silk, you will not go back.
SEO & Digital Product Manager
I really believe that the best thing you can ever do with anything you buy is to be true to yourself. If it makes you happy then it can't be bad. If you follow your gut and your heart, it is rare you'll ever regret a purchase.
The Gustavian collection for me, I think it is such a great mix of considered detail and refinement. It's also a collection that feels really timeless and almost chameleon like, every piece feels like it could fit comfortably in any room and fit with any style.
Ecommerce Manager
Invest in the quality pieces that you have your heart set on, as these will last longer and can be styled through those inevitable future trends.
I would be a Chateauneuf Armoire. It's natural wood reminds me of summer & it has enough space to store everything you need to host a summer picnic with family & friends.
I love the Avenue Blanc Collection. I love the idea of having a timeless & neutral base that you can style any which way depending on the seasons or just how you feel!
Creative Lead
When choosing interior pieces, I always stick to three key colours within a room. This allows me to add depth and interest, whilst still keeping the decor clean and pared back.
I'd be the Gustavian Bedside Cabinet - small and understated, but with lots of hidden detail.
I adore the Avenue Blanc collection for it's simplicity & versatility.
Social Media Manager
Ask yourself - Is it really me? Your home is a reflection of yourself so make sure that each piece that you purchase resembles your character and that you're proud to own it!
I would be an A Million Dreams Ivory Ottoman. Its such a stunning piece and ottomans, in general, exude luxury, and having one in my future home is something I am so excited for.
I absolutely love our Avenue Blanc French Bed and the Gustavian Bedside Cabinet. They are so elegant and are a great blend of Gustavian style furniture with the minimaluxe look.
