Who? Bodum
What? As purveyors of great tea, we love this yo-yo tea set from Bodum. Made for single-serve loose leaf tea, it’s the perfect way to enjoy great tea for one. The strainer keeps back the leaves after brewing while the lid keeps your drink warm. Now there’s no need to make a whole pot just for one. Priced at £12.

Nespresso’s new limited edition Grands Crus this spring are themed on Colombian Terroirs. Developed by Colombian coffee experts working closely with local farmers, these new flavours epitomise and embody the unique characteristics of two coffee regions in Colombia, Cauca and Santander. By nurturing a long standing and, we are told, sustainable relationship with the farmers, Nespresso has managed to create taste profiles which demonstrate the diversity of the land and celebrate coffees that are unique to Colombia.

KEEP IT SIMPLE, MAKE IT INTERESTING – Don’t clutter. Mix traditional and modern; for example, a modern piece of art looks great in a classical setting. Don’t be afraid of bold colour and bold texture. SIZE MATTERS – Say goodbye to lots of little bits of furniture and hello to a couple of larger scale choice pieces. ACCESSORISE – The one accessory I couldn’t live without is white flowers – they bring life to a space. If in doubt, add white orchids – it never fails. I also love using groups of objects of different sizes as it creates interest. WALLS AND CEILINGS – Art is a must for creating…
