1. Ruby and Rose Interiors

I think I picked this one just because the name is so perfect. Based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, this is an online treasure trove of classic, country and chic homewares. Easy known they are Australian — they’re proud of the fact that the products have “a distinctly European flavour which allows you to recreate the elegance and romance of Europe within your home”. They have never been in my house on a wet Tuesday, I’ll tell you that. Bucketloads of brands and fabulous browsing potential.

2. Bodie and Fou

Vogue calls it a little black book of interiors, with tips on how to recreate effortlessly stylish French chic. Karine Candice creates her blog with a mix of personal and professional. The tabs are fab, My Home, Fashion, Foodies — check out the Not Without Salt post in there. And in a nice bit of symmetry, when I clicked on to In the Shop This Week, I spotted the BAU* Pendant Lamp by Normann Copenhagen, designed by Vibeke Fonnesberg Schmidt, which I ‘d already sourced and loved, for Wishlist this week. So it’s all coming together nicely.
