Today, we're excited to introduce our most sustainable collaboration to date; the Kate Watson-Smyth collection. With the impact of climate change becoming clearer, sustainable design solutions which minimize negative environmental impacts, while still delivering beautiful and functional spaces, have a vital role to play in building a brighter, greener future for generations to come.

Award-winning interiors design journalist Kate Watson-Smyth thinks so too. Best known for her acclaimed blog, Mad About The House, Kate has a long history of advocating for environmentally-friendly design and practices. This shared passion didn't go unnoticed and in 2019 Love Your Home began working with Kate, to embark on one of our most ambitious projects yet: to create a truly sustainable furniture range - putting ecological and durable design at its heart - without compromising on beauty.

We all love the feeling of arriving to a sumptuously luxurious boutique hotel bedroom; crisp sheets, fluffy robes and perfectly arranged pillows piled high. There's something so indulgent about a hotel stay, with all the comforts of home and yet so much extra.

Some of our favorites we're always inspired by are The Pig and, of course, Soho House. For many of us however, an exciting staycation or hotel break hasn't been an option. If you're seeking the style and comfort from your missed getaway this year, consider transforming your own bedroom into a boutique hotel style escape, with these refreshing changes.

Now that many of us have worked from home, it's become clear how important it is to create a study space that works practically for the everyday, while also being a beautiful part of the rest of our home.

For many of us, styling spaces that are smaller in size is a difficult task. For Alice, of @Alicegraceinteriors however, this is a challenge she embraces and a limitation she takes full advantage of.

We've asked Alice for her best advice on styling without the luxury of space and she's given us 3 fantastic ideas that can be applied to every home.
