Laundry tips to live by

Your laundry should be as minimal, clean and organised as possible. Yes, I know it’s a drag of a room and no one wants to be in there for long, but there are ways to make the laundry a more hospitable space. Fill large glass jars with bulk items like buttons, threads, pegs and twine and put them on display for a stylish touch. It’s so easy to recreate this look and add a little style to an otherwise drab space.

Homemade linen water recipe

Making your own linen water is an easy way to bring your favourite scent into the bedroom. I love to use lemon and rose oil.

What you’ll need:

Makes: Approx 500ml (17 fl oz/2 cups)

Method:

  1. Mix the essential oil and vodka in a glass.
  2. Add the distilled water and funnel the liquid into a spray bottle.
  3. Shake the spray bottle before each use and keep it in a cool, dry place for up to six months.
