Grow Your Own

This month's style tip encourages you to continue the green fingered trend through to the inside of your home. Think exotic fruits, vegetables and all things natural.


GP & J Baker 'Parrot & Pineapple'


Sanderson 'Portobello'

For a traditional interpretation of this month's style tip, try some elegant floor length curtains in GP & J Baker's 'Parrot & Pineapple.' The exotic fruits and stunning birds will create a feminine feel in your home. For a more contemporary twist, try a simple roller blind in Sanderson's 'Portobello,' this quirky graphic fabric will add a sense of fun to your kitchen, with fresh colours to highlight throughout the rest of the room. To make the most of this style tip, add a cute row of herbs in worn terracotta pots to your windowsill and a chalkboard for this week's 'to do' list.

Personalise it!

Create a feature of your child's first still life masterpieces! Add some coloured frames to tie them together. Use your treasured items of wooden furniture to add a rustic look to the room.

Experiment with:
  • Storage - shelves of kilner jars and old postage labels will create a quaint 'grow your own' look.
  • Hanging strings of dried fruit, such as chilli peppers and oranges, from beams or hooks.
