LINEN BEDDING

I’m obsessed with linen bedding – it is such a breathable fabric that keeps you warm in winter and cool in the summer, plus it becomes softer after each wash. Linen from specialist Merci comes in the most wonderful hues – every time I’m in Paris I add another to my collection!

SANTA MARIA NOVELLA POT POURRI

I know pot pourri has a bad reputation, but this is another level. It’s a magical scent made by hand using ancient methods. It’s a full-bodied blend of herbs and flowers, grown without pesticides in the Florentine Hills. It’s aged for months and lasts forever. I decant it into tea-light holders and pop it all over my pad.

ANEMONE POOL BY MORRIS SHULMAN

I am in the midst of building up my art collection, and although I have a lovely selection of works in all of the key rooms, I don’t have enough in transition­al spaces like hallways and landings. I like abstract and expression­ist paintings, so I was immediatel­y drawn to Morris Shulman’s Anemone Pool. I’m obsessed with intriguing the eye in my interiors, and this painting does exactly that.
