At home with TV presenter Louise Roe and why she swapped Bucks for London

Lucky then, that Roe gets to design and style interiors in the name of work. Three years ago she launched Sharland England, a brand centred on unique, handmade pieces. Named after her great-grandmother, a bon viveur named Marjorie Sharland who lived in Buenos Aires, it spans small accessories such as vases and candleholders, tableware and linen, to more substantial rattan consoles and outdoor furniture sets. A bestseller is the Hadley tray (£185), a wiggly rattan design with woven handles intended to elevate breakfast in bed or, as Roe’s ottoman attests, provide a chic surface for flowers and books.
