THE WHITE COMPANY | SUMMER

 Dry, crisp cotton; chalky white ceramics; rippled glass and natural grasses all add up to the perfect summer living from one of my favourite shops: The White company.  These are certainly on my wishlist: 

Above image: Marley Vase and Marble Round Board on Malton Whitewashed Rattan Stool - The White Company. These gorgeous textures and tones are the epitome of summer for me.
Above images: One of the gorgeous fragranced candle range from The White Company - Sea Salt Ceramic Indulgence Candle with notes of crisp sea salted fresh vetivers, with peaceful oakmoss and cedar wood, combine beautifully to uplift the spirits and transport us to a favourite coastal escape.
Above image: Dried Linum Wreath instantly adds that soft summer vibe to the home whether it is hung on a wall or part of an alfresco table setting.
Above images: The White Company textural elements of summer: clockwise from top left -  Dried Linum Wreath detail; set of three Nested Seagrass Baskets; linen/cotton Rosalie bedlinen with pretty cotton voile Brittany quilt and cushion cover just shown below; Avignon Natural Pom Pom trimmed classic pillowcase.

Above images The White Company: the perfect summer dining elements - fill the table with candlelight and the pretty Optic Candle Holder in handblown glass; serve bread in the gorgeously tactile rattan Kubu Oval Tray combined with the beautiful white-glazed Portuguese Portobello Large Serving Platter
Above image: previous season's clay planters from The White Company filled with summer herbs to keep close to the patio table to pop into salads or onto the barbecue.
Above image: whether heading for a picnic on the beach or lounging in the garden The White Company accessories add a stylish touch - clockwise from top left: Picnic Tumbler 'Glass' which is made from a more practical non-glass Tritan (a form of plastic); lounge in style beneath a divine Bali Parasol from the comfort of the hardwood and canvas Tommy chair; gorgeous White Bamboo Round Lanterns look stunning when grouped along a garden path or edge of the patio pictured on the seagrass Evesham Table; hang candles in lanterns from the Large Hooks along the edge of a garden border for a magical feel at dusk.  
Above image: The White Company - hang pretty battery-powered Woven Lantern Lights over a patio table for a magical alfresco meal.
Above images clockwise from top left: gorgeous matt-white Melamine dining plates and serveware and just add the soft denim Blue Fringed Napkin set for a touch of instant summer; Natural Stripe Tufted Seat Pads and the deeper box shape of the Natural Stripe Seat Pad add comfort for lingering lunches; an airy cotton blouse (this one is a previous season from The White Company but similar here from this season: Embroidered Blouse) add a pair of favourite jeans plus leather flat sandals or (my favourite) washed-cotton plimsolls for an easy summer chic; Whitewashed natural Seagrass Storage Baskets will add a fresh summer touch to the kitchen or bathroom.

Contemporary Country Colours


Fresh, clean earth tints form a soothing colour palette for today's country living. Shades of Clay, Slate, French grey, Shutter Blue, Mulberry, Damson, Willow leaf and Gooseberry green set against chalky white add a contemporary twist to traditional country styling. Modern material such a stainless steel and aluminium contrast against the natural elements of pale stone and bleached wood. Here are a few of my most recent finds starting with the heart of the country home - the kitchen.
