I was thrilled when Jo Malone asked me to do three scented candles for them, combining their delicious scents with David Hicks patterns. It was a limited edition, supposed to be available for 3 months; they sold out in a couple of weeks, sadly, so that many people who wanted to buy them could not. Hicksonian, above, with some hellebores, a single iris and a lump of mica, in my dining room, tiled with the same design. I love putting single flowers in tiny containers, especially on my black dining table, where the colours really show.

On my chimney, above, is the red Herbert’s Carnation candle, with a couple of old, green glass buoys, my childhood drawing of a sunset from our Bahamian beach house, and my daughter’s pottery boat. Below, two Riviera candles scenting my hall, their angular green lines working well with my Mask steel console, surrounded by orange plastic, and a pottery Ganesh – god of good luck – to look after the house.
