SENSATIONAL SCENTS When someone comes into your house, what do they smell? Hopefully something inviting rather than your pet or other stenches (where he or she is compelled to hold their breath for the duration of their visit). For an unforgettably succulent aroma, try the Red Tubereuse Candle by Diptyque, or choose from one of their other distinctly different scents of which there are over fifty. Try placing one in the bathroom during a hot, steamy shower to emulate a wonderful spa treatment, without the less than wonderful spa price tag. It’s one French treat you won't be able to stop sniffing. (Diptyque is available at eLuxury.com.)


SLEEP ON IT Most of us spend a third of our life sleeping, making the bedroom one of the most important rooms in the house. It should serve as a haven for comfort and relaxation, so a warm and cozy atmosphere is crucial. To ensure it reflects your personality, don’t be afraid to be creative. New bedsheets, comforts, and rugs can instantly give your room a jolt of style. Trying buying a few unique lamps, or perhaps some wall decorations, floral displays and pictures. Go ahead, try something new! (Bedding from BedBathAndBeyond.com.)


JANE’S WORLD Gorgeous actress Jane Seymour is now starring in a new role: designer & artist. Using her life experiences as inspiration, she has created a full line of home décor. The pillows in particular are stunning. 100% linen with a poly/silk backing, each one features an adorable flower print for $79 – the perfect accessory for your bedroom’s spring awakening.

A TASTY DISH Everything tastes better on lavish dishes. Fine China and table accents by Bridget Dobson exude sophistication and elegance, but in a fun, non-stuffy way. The plates in the “Escargot-go” collection show snails in action, but you don’t have to profess a liking for fancy French food to relish eating off these tasty plates. If depictions of gastropods don’t appeal, opt for one of the fab florals or mosaic accents. (BridgetDobson.com.)
