HOT FROM THE HIGH STREET H&M Home
This year’s Christmas collection exudes opulence and luxury, but without the price tag! The whole range has a strict palette of red, off white and black, making it easy to match tableware, soft furnishings and decorations together. These classic colours are easy to match to existing décor too – black and white goes with everything!
Molly makes her mark
Interior Design Masters contestant Molly Coath has teamed up with V&Co to launch her debut paint collection. Featuring a sophisticated palette of rich and earthy tones, inspiration for the new range came from personal aspects of Molly’s life – including fond childhood memories as well as her trips to Morocco. All six shades are available in V&Co’s versatile water-based emulsion, exclusively from B&Q stores.
