GREEN HOUSE
With their varied colours and natural textures, houseplants are an instant mood-booster. I’ll be ordering a few more online from Prick London, a one-stop-shop for artfully potted succulents and other low-maintenance greenery.

TABLE TALK
Neptune’s pretty Olney china has just been released in the brand’s new colour for spring: Burnt Sienna. It joins the existing Walnut and Flax Blue shades and, as the china is sold in sets by the piece, I love the idea of mixing and matching them together on the tabletop.
From £54 for 6 side plates, Neptune
ON THE WALL
The beautiful fabrics at Fermoie, usually reserved for upholstery, cushions and curtains, can now be used on walls, too. The label’s paper-backing service is available on each of its fabrics, including the Shell Grotto cotton shown here. £120 a metre, Fermoie
A NEW HUE
With ‘a desire to create beautiful paint that’s truly sustainable’, The Pickleson Paint Co. is something of a newcomer. Its expertly curated edit of colours, from the cheerful Sangria Pink to the warming Edinburgh Toffee (pictured here), comes in four different finishes.
From £29 for 1L matt emulsion, The Pickleson Paint Co.
MIX IT UP
Deliciously light and fresh, Mary is a new botanical spirit made with basil, thyme and sage. It has only one-sixth of the alcohol found in gin, so I’ll be serving it with tonic water, ice and a garnish of cucumber for a guilt-free cocktail. £23.90 for 700ml, drink-mary.com
