Home Fragrance by Ubiety

We love everything about Ubeity’s home fragrance range. Not only are their plant-based formulations made here in England, but they use vegan and environmentally ingredients too. From hand-poured candles to reed diffusers using sustainable carrier oil, and with all profits going to Dorothy House Hospice Care, we were thrilled to discover this local venture. findubiety.com

Distinctive and individual, Kirsten's designs offer a combination of modern and antique textiles, many of them hand-dyed and embellished with her own unique style of embroidery to create beautiful bespoke designs.

Wallpaper by Beata Hueman

Swedish born Beata Hueman is very much the designer of the moment. Fresh from her collaboration with Original BTC in creating the Alma Lighting range, Beata has also turned her hand to the design of a magical range of wallpapers. With so many colours in each design, these papers act as a wonderful springboard for a scheme, and can add impact not only in large spaces but also in the finer details, such as the lining of bespoke cabinetry. shoppa.beataheuman.com
