Rachel Aswell created Shabby Chic; a peaceful, practical way of living that embraces a respect for the things in our lives we hold dear and keeps them at the heart of our homes. Romantic florals recline against pure white linen, ruffles of muslin skirting a bed base add a touch of luxury against bleached floorboards, a simple nest of fluffy towels gives a feeling of deep comfort...This is Rachel Ashwell's signature style that for the past 20 years has been a major influence in our modern lives.
