I'm always keen to feature homes that show how compact spaces needn't be a barrier to stylish, practical living, and this project from Gdansk- and London-based architecture studio ACOS (A Collection of Stories) is a perfect example. Located on the southern shore of the Baltic Sea, it's bright, airy and tranquil, with a beautiful mix of colours and materials . . .

So, that's the focus of this latest instalment of 'The Edit' - my ongoing series sharing curated selections to help you make the most of simple, relaxed moments at home and beyond . . .
New pieces from Menu
It's not long since I last featured Menu, but it's recently added even more designs to its collection and I couldn't resist sharing them. As always, they're gorgeous - and the press photos are an excuse to have another peek inside the brand's stunning Copenhagen hotel-showroom-HQ-restaurant The Audo. But what really appealed to me was the focus on versatile, functional and long-lasting design . . .
Top tips for visiting Northumberland
Every year my friend Becky and I head off on a travel adventure together - it's become a bit of a tradition, and something we always look forward to. Past destinations have included Athens, Budapest, Morocco, Istanbul, Argentina and Brazil, but this time around we decided to avoid the current hassles around international travel and explore a part of the UK that neither of us had ever visited . . .
Plácido y Grata – a new minimalist design hotel in Seville
When I was 17 and studying A-Level Spanish (I later went on to do a university degree in it), I persuaded my parents to choose Seville for our annual family holiday.

New finds | October 2021
With September seeing design weeks and trade fairs happening all over the place (London, Copenhagen and Milan, to name just a few locations), there have been plenty of interesting product launches lately - so many, in fact, that's it taken me a while to decide on the selection for this month's round-up of new finds! But after a lot of deliberation I've finally managed to narrow it down . . .
A light beige & white showroom makeover for New Works
Last week saw Copenhagen host its annual '3 Days of Design' festival, and although I decided not to attend this year (I'm not quite ready to travel internationally again yet), I've been lapping up the various exhibitions and installations from afar. One that I found particularly inspiring was New Works' redecorated showroom, and I couldn't resist sharing the press photos . . .
Easy autumn updates for the home
It's getting darker and colder by the day, but I have to admit I love this time of year. There's something special about these first weeks of autumn: the hint of crispness in the air, the misty mornings, the tinges of gold in the trees... I always enjoy watching the natural world change around me, and it's a great excuse to make a few updates inside the home, too . . .
