The White Company introduces fresh new ranges in bed linen and bedroom furnishings for Spring.

Spring is an exciting time at The White Company when it comes to bed linen and bedroom furnishings.

“I always love it when spring arrives, because I can pack away my winter woollies to make room for lighter textures and fabrics that breathe spring back into my home and wardrobe,” says Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company. “The new collection is fresh and sophisticated offering the customer three very distinct looks to choose from – white and stylish navy, white and elegant neutral, white and the prettiest pale pastels.”

The White Company’s new Riviera Pleated Bed Linen (from £16 for a pillowcase) is truly a slice of the South of France in the bedroom. The 50 per cent linen, 50 per cent cotton blend makes for a wonderful texture but also provides the coolness of linen but with the easier care of cotton.

For true spring luxury, the Antilles Linen Bedcover (£100) in pure linen is hard to beat. In plain white with a smart contrast border in navy or natural, it is hard to find anything more stylish. The classic range of Santorini Linen (from £20 for a pillowcase) and Santorini Cotton Bed Linen (from £12 for a pillowcase) has been re-introduced because of its great looks and great value.

Kitts (£18), Rico (£25), Barts (£18) and Tobago (£25) Pure Linen Cushions are a new addition to the ever-growing family of White Company accessories.

“The most interesting way to use cushions is to choose a selection of coordinating styles and sizes,” says Chrissie Rucker. “Designed with this in mind, these four styles fit together perfectly.”

The new Pollensa Cotton Blanket (£45) – soft, brushed cotton – is perfect for the sofa, for the beach or in the park but it’s stylish enough for the bed as well. The gorgeous Albany Blanket (£75) and Cushion Covers (from £15) in pure knitted cotton are beautiful and add a lovely natural texture to any bedroom.

“People always ask me how to make an all-white bedroom look great,” Chrissie says. “It is all about layering – either with beautiful shades of white, putty and naturals. Alternatively, for the perfect all white look, layer lots of white using a few items with gorgeous texture to create a look that is inviting and stylish.”

The perfect answer, therefore, is the Soft Cotton Rib Bedspread (from £55) and Cushion Cover (£20). It offers a relaxed look with its soft, casual finish and comes in putty, natural or white. For texture, the new Lucca Bed Linen (from £10 for a pillowcase) is also ideal. The 250-thread count in pure cotton percale feels light and soft against skin. The subtle sateen stripe with delicate hemstitch edge is also a nice touch. The Hemmingway Throw (£70) and Cushion cover (£30) are gorgeous chunky-knits that look fabulous on the bed or tossed over a favourite sofa.

A glamorous theme runs through The White Company for spring/summer 2007 with the stunning Isis Silk Cushions (£25). These washed silk cushions have a contrasting ivory lining that just peeks out between the pretty ties at each end. The vintage pink, sand and aqua colours add an extra touch of elegance.

The White Company introduces an exquisite new range, the Palermo Cotton Bedspread (from £75) and Cushion Covers (from £18). The beautifully lightweight, hand-quilted pure cotton bedspreads are perfect for spring and summer. These would look as gorgeous in a traditional home as a contemporary one.

To create a really pretty bedroom, The White Company has designed the romantic hand-quilted Elodie Cotton Bedspread (from £110) and Cushions (from £20). It is fully reversible and has a gorgeous scalloped edge.

Austen Check & Morgan Chambray Bed Linen (from £10 for a pillow) is a new range that is sure to be a hit. Austen is a smart woven check while Morgan, with its relaxed woven chambray panels adds a light touch. Put them together for a fresh new look that is ideal for older children’s rooms and guest bedrooms.

Inspired by vintage eiderdowns, Portobello (from £110 to £175) is designed to perch on top of the bed without draping over the sides to help recreate a classic eiderdown look. The beautifully hand-quilted, romantic combination of soft paisley print on super silk satin is hard to beat.

Taffeta is such a luxurious fabric that The White Company had to re-introduce it for spring in the form of the Rio Taffeta Bedspread (from £80) and Cushion Covers (from £18). These hand-quilted pieces have a smart channel stitching finished with a neat Oxford border.

The White Company gives the kitchen and dinning room a Spring feel for the new season

Spring sees the introduction of an exciting new range of kitchen textiles at The White Company. The fabulously fresh Azure stripe accessories will bring a welcome Mediterranean summer feel to any kitchen. It comes in a Tablecloth (£25), Set of Four Napkins (£12), Azure Tie-on Seat Pads (£15 each) or White Seat Pads (£12). There is also a Full Length Apron (£12), Oven Gloves (£8) and Tea Towels (£12 for 3).

Any kitchen will be nicely accessorised with the new Cobb Rise & Fall Lamp (£125).

“This classic item will look great in any style of kitchen and can be lowered to brighten up meal times and raised out of the way afterwards,” says Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company.

The invigorating Kitchen Hand-Care set is brilliant for the busy cook. The scents of lime, lemon and basil with a hint of herbs clean, soften and protect chore-weary hands - “Clean Hands” hand wash (£5); “Soft Hands” hand cream (£7). The gorgeous Kitchen Candle Set (£22) will also add a lovely touch to the busy kitchen by recreating the ambience of a Mediterranean kitchen with scents of tomato, mint leaf and basil.

Just as you would expect from The White Company, a range of simple and stylish kitchen ceramics has come along to make any kitchen super-chic. Choose from the Canister (£8) or Bread Bin & Board (£50). These perfectly match the pretty white Herb Pots (£15 for set of three with tray; £6 for a Large Herb Pot).

The White Company makes a sophisticated start to Spring 2007 furniture and lighting

The White Company heads into the new season with a fresh collection of furniture, lighting and vases.

“The new collection is as gorgeous, practical and, best of all, versatile,” says Chrissie Rucker, founder of The White Company.

NEW FURNITURE AND LIGHTING
The furniture and lighting at The White Company goes from strength to strength this spring with plenty of new pieces to look out for. Inspired by romantic French style, the Provence Bed (from £550) and Bedside Table (£175) have been so well received that The White Company has introduced a Provence Chest of Drawers (£595), Dressing Table (£350) and Upholstered Stool (£85).

The White Company’s Sanderson range has also been extremely popular which is why the collection has been expanded with the addition of a new Sanderson Headboard (from £250) and Ottoman (£425). Meanwhile, the new Pelham Headboard (from £295) offers a softer, prettier, more traditional look.

The ultra stylish mirrored furniture is also a fast growing family. The Halston Chest of Drawers (£795), Bedside Table (£275) and Small Mirror (£150) have been joined by a new Large Wall Mirror (£250) and the Dressing Table (£495) has a new Mirror (£110) of its own.

The White Company is known for its versatile furniture and no item better illustrates this than the new Berkley Occasional Table (small: £125, large: £195), which will be a stylish addition to any living room, hallway or bedroom.

In lighting for spring there are plenty of gorgeous new ways to brighten up the season. The new Chrome Column Lamp (£65) is perfect for an office, bedroom or living room and brings a contemporary touch to its surroundings. The Glass Ball Lamp (£70) with its new white grosgrain ribbon shade has a stylish, textured effect. The Acrylic Lamp (£65) is elegant with its contemporary look and silk shade. The Hector Lamp (£95) is a modern classic with its bone-china shade and metal base. The Aqua Glass Pear Drop Lamp (£65) is the perfect way to add a touch of spring colour. The Glass Drop Shade (£65) has all the beauty of a chandelier without the expense while the Capiz Ceiling Shade (£75) makes a gorgeous addition to a traditional room as in a modern one.

NEW VASES
As always, The White Company offers the most gorgeous accessories for the home. The new Vase Collection consists of three great shapes that look just as good displayed empty or when holding fresh flowers. Choose from the Tall Ribbed Vase (£25), the White Glass Vase (£25) or the Spiral Vase (£15).
