Lizard Orchid Private View… what’s the scoop?
It’s fair to say I take my home interiors as seriously as I do my fashion… anyone who has been lost in the sea of cushions in each of my rooms can attest to that. So when I was invited to the Lizard Orchid private view, a luxury homewares company launching online later this month, I was armed & at the ready with my Nikon & my credit card.
LizardOrchid.com is set to bring us luxury homewares from around the globe at unexpectedly affordable prices. You know all those sumptuous home accessories, throws and quilts you see in uber glam shops which you wish you could snap up, but then you spot the price tag and sidle away quietly muttering something about the colour not being quite right? Well, once LizardOrchid.com throws it’s virtual doors open, Cinders – you shall go to the ball…or at least be able to snaffle up some of their delicious products for your home.
The private view was a fun affair. Set up in a gorgeous West Sussex barn, the Lizard Orchid team set about turning the interior into a makeshift glittery cocoon of loveliness.
Guests were greeted with a glass of fizz and a cheat sheet listing all of the goodies on offer, which they duly set about checking out.
Just when we thought we needed a little sustenance to keep us going… all this scrummy food was served up…
These cute pulled pork canapes were a top hit…
But then those of us who were sensible, left a little room in our dessert tummies for these puds…
Nicely satiated, it was back to the task in hand, which had us all starting to think about Christmas gifting and seasonal decor.
One of my fail safe styling tricks for switching up my interiors from the light and bright summer vibe to a more sumptuous winter one, is to simply change out the cushions and throws. There were plenty of luxe choices to do just that in the Lizard Orchid range.
It’s definitely a store I’m going to enjoy heading to online when it launches later this month…come and join in the fun by signing up for their email alerts here.
