Spring is in the air!

The wait is finally over. Spring is here, and with everything going on in the world, simple pleasures such as warm sunshine on skin and the smell of spring flowers are more welcome than ever.

As former First Lady, Claudia Alta Johnson, once said: “Where flowers bloom so does hope”. We couldn’t agree more. With this in mind, our thoughts are turning to joyful gatherings of friends and family over the Easter break. It gives us the excuse to bring some fresh, spring-like cheer into our homes in the form of colourful blooms and new homeware pieces in a delicate palette of pale blues and gentle pinks.

An Easter feast

Nothing says Easter like a beautiful table dressed for a leisurely family lunch. So why not go to town on the Easter decorations this year and ring the changes with a distinctive table setting?

To create an elegant Easter table, it’s all about layering beautiful linens, ceramics and accessories to create a stylish but seemingly effortless look. We suggest our Paintbox tableware as a timeless starting point. These British-made, white bone china plates have a distinctive, hand-painted edge in a choice of six versatile colours. Choose from a plain or scallop-edged design and team them with a textured placemat, our 100% linen napkins and our lovely Echeveria Napkin Ring.

To bring in some delicate florals, dot tiny bud vases down the middle of your table and fill them with stems of seasonal muscari (grape hyacinth) or white narcissi. Add in pretty glass candlesticks and our Decorative Easter Eggs which come in a set of six in a mix of charming mustard and floral designs. These can be gently strewn across the table along with little bowls of Mini Eggs. Just make sure the youngsters keep their hands off the choccies until after they’ve eaten their roast lamb!

A little spring styling

Now that the longer, brighter days are here, our urge is to throw open the doors to the garden and carry in armfuls of fresh spring flowers. As well as being perfect for serving drinks, our Figgy Jug makes the ideal rustic receptacle for spring flowers. Fill it up with clusters of bright daffodils or tulips for an instant spring refresh.

Or why not adopt the Swedish tradition of filling a vase with foraged twigs and decorating them with hanging Easter decorations? Branches of cheerful cherry blossom or pussy willow are a great way to ‘bring the outside in’ as well as embracing that scandi vibe.

Mum’s the word

With Mothering Sunday just around the corner, it’s time to make sure you’ve got the perfect gift lined up for the mums and grannies in your life. Our first suggestion is our Cambridge Scalloped Tray. This hand-polished lacquer tray with gorgeous scallop-edged detailing is a real heirloom piece. With its cream velvet base, this luxurious, pale blue tray can be used for a relaxed breakfast in bed or as a styling piece on a console table to provide a home for books, trinkets and flowers.

Or if you’re looking for a smaller, more portable gift, our Olive Wood Garlic Board is just the thing to wrap up and hand to your mum during a special family brunch or afternoon tea. Both functional and decorative, this beautifully-curved board is the perfect size for cutting garlic. Or you could suggest your Mummy uses it for cutting the lemon for her G&T or elderflower pressé. That way she’ll be thinking of you every time she prepares her evening tipple. Cheers!
