What We're Loving This November
November calls for turning our houses into true sanctuaries. This months's interior styling focuses on comfort and detail for the festive transition. We cover three essentials: mastering the Christmas guest room, curating the perfect bedside table, and using home scent—the invisible layer that finishes your space for every visitor. Join us as we give you the perfect edit for each.

How To Style The Perfect Guest Room
It’s that magical time again - the guest room is about to earn its keep. Whether your visitors are flying in from New York, driving down from Yorkshire, or popping over from Paris, it’s your moment to play “host with the most”. Think of your guest room as a festive mini-hotel suite, only with better snacks and fewer confusing light switches.
Start with the basics: fresh sheets (ideally not the ‘spare' ones that have seen better holidays) and a plumped-up duvet worthy of a five-star stay. Add layers - a throw for chilly nights, extra pillows for lounging, and maybe a cheeky hot water bottle for bonus points.
Then comes the magic: twinkling fairy lights, a sprig of evergreen on the nightstand, and perhaps a candle that whispers ‘cosy chalet chic’. Don’t forget the essentials, such as a carafe of water, the Wi-Fi password, and a small tray with festive nibbles (because midnight snacks are universal).
Finally, add your secret weapon - Maison Flaneur charm. A thoughtful book, a vintage trinket, or a playful print that says, 'Welcome home (for a few days’). Holiday hospitality? Nailed it.

The Cool Girl Bedside Table
Ah, the bedside table …that unsung hero of style and self-expression. Of course, the Cool Girl doesn’t just plonk a lamp on hers and call it a day. Oh no, her nightstand is a curated vignette of effortless taste - part function, part fantasy, and entirely fabulous.
First, the foundation: a beautiful surface. Think sleek marble, warm wood, or something with a story (bonus points if it’s vintage and slightly imperfect, because perfection is boring). Then, layer it up. A sculptural lamp for mood lighting, a stack of well-thumbed books that say, “I read,” and a chic carafe for those 3 a.m. sips of water (hydration is everything, after all).
Add a touch of scent - a candle that smells like sandalwood, cashmere, and good decisions - and something personal: maybe a favourite ring dish, or that tiny ceramic catchall you found on your last city break. Keep cords hidden, clutter banished, and your lip balm within arm’s reach.
Just remember, The Cool Girl Bedside Table isn’t about perfection; it’s about personality. It whispers, ‘I woke up like this’, while secretly being perfectly styled down to the last matchstick. Effortless? Maybe. But oh, it looks good.

The Ultimate Layer: Scent
Let’s be honest, no room is truly finished until it smells incredible. The ultimate styling secret? Scent. It’s the invisible layer that transforms your space from ‘nice’ to ‘whoa, what is that smell?’ (in the best possible way).
Candles are the easiest route to olfactory bliss - part décor, part mood-maker, 100% essential. Start with the base note of your vibe: warm and woody for winter nights, fresh and citrusy for morning pep, or something musky and mysterious for a moment of allure. Bonus points if the candle vessel looks chic enough to double as art once it’s burned down - good glassware or reusable vessels are very satisfying to collect.
Cluster candles in odd numbers, mix heights, and let them glow together for that soft, flattering light that makes everyone look like they’ve had eight hours of sleep. And always light them before guests arrive - it’s like spritzing perfume on your home.
The right scent lingers long after the evening’s over, wrapping the room (and your guests) in a memory they’ll never quite shake. So, is the ultimate layer cashmere or velvet? Well no, it’s scent, and, darling, it’s unforgettable.
