Our Favourite
Floral fabrics
in Honour
of the
RHS Chelsea
Flower Show
In honour of the Chelsea Flower Show this week, we’ve chosen some of our favourite floral fabrics that are all perfect for a spring/summer interior refresh. Florals don’t have to mean fussy, and they are ideal for making a statement, and with the multitude of designs on offer, there’s something for everyone’s taste, ranging from contemporary to classic styles. For a more modern look, choose larger prints, and for a more traditional take, consider a smaller print repetition.
The RHS Chelsea Flower Show takes place from 21-25th May at London Gate, Royal Hospital Chelsea, just a few stops away from our Fulham showroom.
Modern Florals
Treehouses are more of a rarity, and we had to play to the strength of our position. My husband, Matt, is a carpenter and we also had permission to build on my parents’ land - both things which aren’t commonly present in a husband-wife duo looking to do something creative and entrepreneurial...ha! Matt used to work in the music industry and I worked in the tech industry. We were both ready to try something new, so we took a punt on a treehouse! The Quist is positioned in an incredibly remote and idyllic setting: at the top of a 100-acre hill called Merry Hill, which is the highest point on the 800-acre estate of Brinsop Court.

Access. Matt had to figure out solutions to getting everything up to the top of Merry Hill along a steep and bumpy track and from there, on foot through the woods to The Quist. Everything from the huge oak floorboards, hottub, sliding doors and stone bath down to every cushion, picture and spoon has been carried in by hand. Also, taking a design approach which treads a line that doesn’t feel domestic, but also doesn’t feel like an Ewok’s home. Tricky!
