The Sunday Six: what’s relevant and Chic this week

1st March 2026

The Sunday Six is our weekly edit of what feels relevant, chic or quietly useful. Each week Charlotte or Ginny will share objects, habits and small upgrades that feel worth your attention before Monday arrives.

The Sunday Six on Building The Moodboard

There is a particular kind of early March Sunday I love. The light is different, slightly brighter but still soft enough to justify staying in knitwear all day. The house definitely feels lighter and you start noticing the small details again.

This week’s Sunday Six is mainly about those details. The ones people ask about in DMs, the ones that make a room feel finished without shouting about it.

1. The Little Lydia Arrangement

The little faux arrangement everyone keeps asking about.

The Little Lydia works because it doesn’t try too hard. It’s little size sits perfectly on a bedside, a kitchen shelf, a bathroom sink and just… belongs. Getting your home styling right is the interior equivalent of good skin. You don’t clock it immediately but you’d notice if it wasn’t there.

If you’re styling a Little Lydia with other items make sure you vary the height and choose something taller. 2. Paint Crush of the Week: Roman Plaster by Little Greene

There are warm neutrals and then there are warm neutrals that make everything else look refined. Roman Plaster from Little Greene is that colour. It’s soft but not sugary and warm but not yellow. It flatters bronze, marble and oak equally which is rarer than you think.

In kitchens it gives that slightly European, plastered wall feeling without being too rustic. It looks beautiful in natural light but crucially it still holds up under spotlights at night. That’s always my test.

If you’re sampling it, paint a large square in a few areas of the room and live with it for a few days. This shade shifts gently through the day and that’s part of its charm.

3. Tile Spotlight: Stripes but make them architectural

In a recent family bathroom we used striped tiles from Mandarin Stone and instead of stopping them at the niche, we continued the stripes inside it. We selected the Paintbox Gloss Ceramic collection to create this bathroom in taupe and bone.

Most people treat a niche as an afterthought, finding themselves scrambling to choose a Schluter trim at the last minute under pressure from the builders. Interior designers don’t. If you’re renovating without the luxury of an interior designer, these are the little details to consider that can make all the difference.

Continuing the material makes it feel built in rather than cut out. It’s a small decision but it changes the entire elevation and suddenly the room feels considered.

If you’re doing stripes at home, keep the grout tone neutral and let the pattern do the talking.

4. The Go To White Tee

The Go To White Tee I keep reaching for is boxy, slightly structured and thick enough not to require a layering strategy. It works under a blazer for site meetings, peeking out the top of a V neck sweater or with wide leg denim on the weekends.

Look for weight in the cotton and a neckline that holds its shape. If it collapses after one wash, it’s not the one. I like mine styled simply with hair pulled back and chunky earrings.

5. The Unexpected Homeware Find From a Fashion Brand

I love when fashion brands quietly produce beautiful home collections. This week I was shopping for home styling accessories for a client with a spenny budget and I came across a few beautiful pieces.

This Etro paisley print throw is Italian-made from pure wool and detailed with florals and the brand-signature Pegaso motif and oozes that quiet luxury feel I’m striving for.

When I first started out in interiors, almost every client asked for the Hermes Avalon throw. It became the go to finishing touch. Over the past few years there has been a noticeable shift. In both fashion and interiors, the appetite for logos and visible labels has softened. Clients are less focused on what something says at first glance and more interested in how it feels, how it layers into a scheme and how it will age over time. That does not mean the Avalon is not beautiful. It is. It just no longer feels like the automatic answer for luxury styling.

The conversation has moved from branding to craftsmanship. From recognition to restraint. Luxury has not disappeared, it has simply become quieter and more understated.

6. The 6am Decision Already Made

Years ago during lockdown I discovered Mellisa Wood on instagram and downloaded the MWH app. In 2019 I had two little ones under two, so my days were full on in those early years of being a Mum and whilst gyms were closed, the days sometimes felt long and I wanted something I could do at home easily. Fast forward to now and I have used it for my morning workouts ever since.

The classes are short, focused and easy to follow. Just controlled, low impact movements that you can do in your living room or bedroom before the house properly wakes up.

On Sunday night I choose the class I am going to do on Monday morning. It sounds small, but it removes the excuse. No scrolling, debating or procrastinating. Just wake up and press play.

This weeks number 6 isn’t a product recommendation, more an act of self respect. One of the best feelings to me in life is making a commitment to yourself and sticking to it.

I hope this weeks Sunday Six felt useful, as usual some things to add to basket, some things to add to life.

See you on the 15th when I’ll be writing my first Sunday Six as a 40 year old!
