We instantly fell for the Ebury Armchair Catherine selected from Lorfords – perfect for a study or living room, with its neat size and beautiful arch to the side profile.

Adding blues and greens

Touches of nature, like blues and greens, create the perfect place for reading by creating a calming atmosphere. This Cornish School abstract painting of a clear blue sea above green hills, available now at Collins & Green Art, is framed in vintage French wood. Catherine loves incorporating second-hand treasures to soften a space, helping it feel instantly settled and inviting.

A contemporary alternative to a traditional cork board, a memo board by Graham & Green is perfect for pinning favourite pictures and notes. It has a natural fabric covering framed with an antiqued bronze stud border, which will work well for a bedroom or kitchen too.
