Read MoreThis week we chat to Jemima Herbert, co-founder of LAY London, about some of her favourite things, and how to make hosting even more special. LAY is London’s first tablescape rental company, which delivers colourful party settings straight to your door, set up by Jemima and her sister Alice. They both grew up in the countryside and were always encouraged to be creative whether it be mad Easter tables at home or over-the-top birthday celebrations; more was always more in the Herbert household. With a mum who had an amazing ability to make the little things feel special, how to make decorative dining tables and personal interior touches were instilled in them from an early age, and the interest grew even more later on when they started hosting friends in their own homes.
