Little Greene plans to keep us all cosy this winter with its latest paint collection. Sweet Treats is an edited capsule of nine warm colours inspired by delicious desserts and confections, including Galette, Ganache and Affogato (used here on the walls). ‘Rich, warm colours based on umber and ochre deliver cocooning and restful spaces, while deeper caramels are perfect for sumptuous schemes,’ explains creative director Ruth Mottershead. Mix in the fact that brown is a superbly practical colour to live with and it sounds like a recipe for success. Absolute matt emulsion, £54.50 for 2.5tr, Little Greene.

This Weft cabinet with peg rail is available in oak or ash, from £789.

The three vanity ranges take their design cues from Soho House Holloway, Soho House Paris and Soho Farmhouse, and each offers single and double vanity options, lighting, mirrors and accessories.
