MINNIE’S SHOPPING PICKS OF THE MONTH

GET A GRIP

Hardware is easily missed as a design feature but honestly makes all the difference. There are some fabulous door knockers out there. I love The Beardmore Collection – this burnished bronze design is the absolute dream. Ensure there is cohesion between metals – with the door handle, bell and letterbox all being the same thread. beardmore.co.uk

OUT AND ABOUT

Vincent Sheppard does great outdoor furniture. Its Monte Carlo dining chair is a beautiful Lloyd Loom design with stylish curves, coming in a variety of bright colours and is seriously comfortable yet lightweight. Combined with the Avignon side table you could create the perfect spot for tea this spring. vincentsheppard.com
