In almost any garden we love there is evidence of geometrical classicism (from France) such as these boxwood spheres. Planted at the edge of a garden or path they will create a distinct perimeter. Plus the dense evergreen foliage of green on green puts the emphasis on texture, shape and size that can make seasonal flowers feel chaotic by comparison.

We recently talked about the importance of starting with your floor when decorating a room. Then following with the colours for your walls and know everything will flow from there. The floor is one of the most expensive surfaces, and the one we have the most physical contact with. The same flooring through an area will unify it and increase your sense of space. It outlives paintwork, so its best to stick to something natural and muted that will work with successive colour schemes : something with enduring appeal, which fits in with the way you live. Head to the blog to read the 7 decorating rules designers always follow to create a sense of calm. And the trick to not having anything discordant in your scheme because the brain will always pick up on it and the brain will not be full able to relax. A lovely decorating lesson is the Oxfordshire converted farmhouse of photographer @joannavestey and husband Steve Brooks, pictured, via @houseandgardenuk.

Weddings and parties which are adaptable, focus on

Weddings and parties which are adaptable, focus on loved ones and simplicity are turning out to be winners this year. The visual component is still important but it’s now not so much about so many guests. People want events they are subtle, classic and not “too shouty”. Going forward, we will respond to gatherings that encourage us to live in the moment, rather than experience it through the lense of our phones. Entertaining that focuses on loved ones and simplicity will survive. Repost @masseriamoroseta; photo: @alessio.manca

Too many people ignore curb appeal until its time

Too many people ignore curb appeal until its time to move. Every time you come home, the sight of your front door should boost your happiness, confidence and mood. Adding curb appeal doesn’t hVe to be expensive - you can take it one step at a time or do what the owners of this place did. Add a coat of paint, a wide,welcoming front path that blends with the house, and new planting.
