Lounge like they do in Black and White films on our Belgravia Button Chair. The Moleskin and beautiful grey colour, perfectly captures old Hollywood Glamour. Indulge with a subtle palette of muted colours for effortless sophistication.

Enjoy a touch of silk with our Versailles scroll throw and cushion and be inspired by the magic of old films. For understated glamour, use super soft linen that flows in elegant folds on your bed, try our Feathers Grey linen with its subtle, jacquard design in pale silvery tones- the essence of laidback luxury.

The essential to every Hollywood inspired luxe room is a dressing table and mirror, dress with a beautiful jewellery box, your essential perfume and delicious vanilla scented candles.

For beds choose a elegant upholstered style for a fashion statement that won’t fail, Feather & Black’s Upholstered beds are a stylish centrepiece that will last to become a classic. I love the buttoned design of the Henrietta with the scrolled design foot end, and the fabulous studded detail it is the ultimate in boudoir luxury. Accessorise with Chandeliers as soft lighting for complete glamour.

I'm planning on spending the weekend enjoying my Hollywood inspired bedroom, watching my all-time favourite film ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s ‘all curled up in my bed…
Love

Feather & Black’s New Florence Bed Linen, is on trend as floral is set to dominate the catwalk and interiors again this Spring/Summer 2012. Boost the colour in your bedroom with this bright, lively floral design. The white background provides an ethereal and innocent canvas for the soft blue, pink and green tones. The watercolour brush stroke style softens the print and creates a look reminiscent of spring days and colourful meadows.
The Florence has a timeless appeal that will last long past the season to stand the test of time. It is beautifully soft and we think it looks fabulous dressed on our Oliver Warm White bed for a simple, vintage style or the Florence could be styled with our Pallio bed for a delicate, airy and beautiful bedroom.
To complete the look accessorise with Everyday Blue and Blush Cushions, our new Rowan pleated cushions in light pink and soft blue (coming soon) and a vase of fresh Blossom.
Love

Breakfast in Bed - an indulgent and luxurious Sunday morning tradition full of romance or a rare occasion involving bickering over who has to get up, crumbs in the sheets and spilt tea?
I am a hopeless romantic and love enjoying my most important meal of the day between the sheets - I consider it one of life’s little luxuries. Maybe it’s because I have grown up with the tradition, being part of my parent’s weekly Sunday Morning squabble about whose turn it is to make the tea and bring it to bed with the biscuits.
Apparently breakfast in bed is a dying tradition, one which has become a rare celebration for a special occasion. I love any excuse to lounge in bed and I fear for the demise of this luxury treat …what if it stops altogether? It would entirely destroy my weekend. My Sunday is planned around indulging in egg with soldiers, all without moving from under my super soft bed linen.

Here at the Feather & Black office we have been recounting the weekend’s antics which already seem so long ago. It would seem that breakfast in bed is indeed an extravagance to ‘oohh’ at, especially if delivered on a tray with a handpicked flower in a jar; it is something special, luxurious and most definitely essential. Some of the office have more demands than others one indulgent choice was champagne with smoked salmon- is it the food that makes enjoying breakfast in bed or is it the experience? Do a few soft digestives dunked in tea constitute a relaxing morning?
For others, breakfast in bed isn’t about the breakfast it’s all about a big newspaper and time to leisurely read it with no interruptions. With all the office chatter it is clear that breakfast in bed has become very complicated, everyone likes different things – but one thing we all agree on is that Feather & Black love it and it is a weekend treat that we will not allow to disappear.
So if you are looking for me on a Sunday morning you will find me covered in crumbs, snuggled under my Hungarian Goose down duvet, tea spilt on my cashmere throw and wrestling with a big Sunday newspaper.
Love
