Highgrove in bloom

Some pairings feel destined, and the union of Sanderson and Highgrove Gardens is a perfect example. For this collection, the designers at Sanderson have drawn on the beauty of the beloved grounds of King Charles III and Queen Camilla's private residence, and combined it with their own beguiling archive of prints and florals. The result is a 108-piece range of wallpapers, fabrics, weaves and embroideries, designed to bring the magic of high summer into your home. Wallpaper from £98 per roll, and fabric from £102 per metre. sandersondesigngroup.com
