When space is at a premium, it pays to be inventive with what little room you have. Window boxes - tiny pockets of flowers and foliage scattered across city centres - are a wonderful way to bring green into the concrete jungle. From exotic evergreens to traditional blooms, it's time to transform your windowsill into something spectacular. 


  Dwarf dahlias work well in a small windowbox and come in a plethora of colours - from candy pink to bright orange.

Tiny violas are a delicate choice for a country cottage windowsill. Victorian Violas has the very best selection. 

 Choose climbing pelargoniums and geraniums to create a verdant screen to mask a view into a ground floor flat.

 These homemade wooden window boxes are filled with trailing white bacopa for a chic neutral look.

 Jungle-like combinations of plants work well against a deep Georgian black-blue wall.


There are walk-ins and then there are these beauties that redefine what it means to own a luxury closet. The only problem? You'll be left full of envy after taking a peek at these rooms, which feature museum-quality shoe storage and a few chandeliers (because, why not?).​



Bright Skylight 
The skylight in the closet provides natural light, making it easier
                             (and more enjoyable!) to pick out an outfit in the morning.

           Shoe Storage
                 A dedicated space for it, which represents the height of luxury (we agree!).

                              High-End Doors                              
 The mirrored panels and hardware in this closet were inspired by the Hôtel de Crillon in Paris.   and the cozy furniture and chandelier are just the cherry on top.

Boutique Touches
When it comes to boutique design, less is certainly more as seen in this closet. That way, you can actually see what you own.



Black and White
Even the most cramped closets can get a boost from wallpaper (or paint).Focusing on one wall to not overwhelm the rest of the space.

                                                            
  Dressing Space
Channel the glamorous feel of a changing room by bringing in a tufted bench or ottoman to     your bedroom to create a lovely dressing space.
