Billie Jordan and Judith Vucic share the premise that throughout history people have adorned their homes as a reflection of their identity and their spirit. This unique interest in home decorating and styling has resulted in the lifestyle boutique Sebel in the pretty village of Binfield, Berkshire, and, as of this autumn, Marlow. Both shops offer an eclectic mix of homewares, gifts and accessories, from £10 to £550, including console tables, mirrors and soft furnishings. Key labels found at Sebel include Nina Campbell's Topaz collection (shown), from £16 for the room spray to £85 for the six-wick candle; Mulberry Home, Lulu Guinness, Nougat and Jean Paul Gaultier. The shopping experience is made complete with complimentary tea or coffee – and at Christmas time, mulled wine.
