Since 1987 March has been a month dedicated to celebrating the (often overlooked) contributions of women to history, society, and culture. Its beginning can be traced as far back as 1909 to the first Women’s History Day in New York, when it commemorated the anniversary of the thousands of women who marched in the garment workers’ strikes against low pay, long work hours, and the lack of voting rights.

With the globe’s leading brands each recently announcing their ‘color of the year’ for 2023, its looking as though we are going to be seeing a shift away from 2022’s calming green and lilac themes and a move towards a selection of warmer and more invigorating hues. The popularity of the ‘maximalism’ decor trend could have something to do with this. It is set to continue into 2023, and its focus on bold patterns and highly saturated colours seems to have influenced the colour choices for this year ahead: taking a walk on the more wild and vivid side.

The darker days of Winter are a great time to experiment with some new lighting to help brighten your home, or to add a splash of colour with some new soft furnishings and artwork.

We are thrilled to have launched a large collection of exciting new limited edition prints today from in-demand artists Aaminah Snowdon, Anthony Dobson, Bev Davies, Dominique Salm, Jake Winkle, Jo Quigley, Josie Appleby, Rosa Sepple and Chris Ross Williamson.

From ongoing pandemics to heart-breaking conflicts and rising heating costs, it has been yet another shaky start to everyone's year. But we're now nestled in the warmest month of spring, and hopefully many of us can look forward to brighter days to come. Joyfully, May kicks off with the feel-good observances of Global Love Day and World Laughter Day; both falling on the first day of the month.

Exemplary self-taught British artist Rosa Sepple's fantastical mixed media compositions, created in her distinctively animated style, have garnered much admiration over her career. Indeed, only 5 years after she first began to paint (following a struggle with her health and debilitating depression) in 2004, she was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI).
