Colefax and Fowler

Stalwarts of the British interiors scene, Colefax and Fowler, are the go-to brand for beautiful chintzy print wallpapers and fabrics. The brand started out under the talented eye of Lady Sybil Colefax, who began decorating the homes of her well-connected friends in the 1930s.

Ceraudo

Shopping for vintage interiors can be a minefield but London-based sister duo, Ceraudo, are taking the hard slog out of antique hunting with their perfectly curated and honestly priced edit of finds.

They source one-off vintage and antique gems from across the continent and offer decorative pieces at affordable prices – think everything from Art Deco lemonade sets to antique maps to Louis XVI-style mahogany bouillotte tables. The result is a more contemporary approach to chintz, perfect if you love the look but don’t live in a sprawling country pile.

Louise Roe Home

After many years living in the LA sunshine as a successful fashion blogger and broadcaster, Brit Louise Roe returned to home shores to take on her Cotswold’s renovation dream.

Louise posts pictures from other people’s homes that inspire her as well as corners of her own house as it makes its way from run down country cottage to interiors dream.
