🌼 INSPIRED BY JUNE: The changing seasons have always shaped Vanessa's designs. From armfuls of cow parsley gathered as a child to ferns spotted on countryside walks, many of her fabrics begin with simple observations of the natural world.

WHERE ART AND INTERIORS MEET: There is something wonderfully timeless about seeing art and interiors speak the same language 🌿

From 16–23 May, Tom Constantine will exhibit a collection of still life oil paintings by Rose Arbuthnott as part of Oxfordshire Artweeks. Rose’s work captures the quiet beauty of gathered flowers, fruit and everyday objects — paintings filled with softness, colour and a gentle sense of domestic life.

We have always felt her paintings sit beautifully alongside Vanessa's fabrics and furniture; both are inspired by the poetry of the everyday home — layered rooms, faded garden colours, natural forms and objects chosen slowly over time.

Placed beside linen upholstery, botanical prints and handcrafted furniture, Rose’s paintings feel completely at home: calm, characterful and quietly expressive.

🎨 If you are visiting Oxford during Artweeks, it is well worth a visit.

16–23 May
Tom Constantine Gallery, Oxford

CREATE A HOME THAT FEELS AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS 🌿 For over 25 years, Vanessa’s designs have been inspired by the natural world and countryside around us — but how our fabrics are made matters just as much.

We use only organic cotton and eco-friendly flax to create our signature linen union — a cloth that is soft, yet durable, created for everyday living 🌻 . Our fabric is created and printed with non-toxic pigments in the UK, and every Made to Measure piece is designed to be lived with and loved for years to come.

A SOFTER WAY TO INTRODUCE COLOUR🌿: This spring, we’re drawn to the effortless harmony of green paired with soft, natural tones.

Think fresh blue and green combinations — sky blues with meadow greens — for a calm, uplifting feel. Or soften the look with blush pinks layered against earthy greens, creating a scheme that feels warm, gentle and full of character.
