In spring, I bring out the celadon floral cushions and vases of pink flowers, while autumn takes on a warmer vibe with candles in plummy hues and throws in caramel.

A FAILSAFE WAY TO ARRANGE A TABLESCAPE is to choose homewares in an ombré palette – a sliding scale of colour from light to dark. Enter the new tableware from Seed Heritage. From the palest stone hues to rich chocolate tones, the ceramic dinnerware covers both ends of the spectrum. The dinnerware is complemented by brass accessories and servingware in coffee-coloured timber, plus a few pink marble pieces, which bring earthiness and tactility to the collection.

The Lou dinner plates, side plates, cereal bowls and…
