When I interviewed textile artist Charlotte Wakefield earlier this week, her comments about rediscovering the joy in what you do really struck a chord. I'm lucky to do something I love for a living, whether it's writing, photographing, styling or helping design clients with their homes, but I know just how easy it is to get bogged down in deadlines and expectations . . .
Profile | Charlotte Wakefield of Woven Form
You might remember that last year I decided to learn something new and started an online weaving course. I haven't really shared much of the journey so far, as I wanted to do something creative just for me with no pressure or expectations, but searching for ideas and inspiration has led me to discover all sorts of wonderful textile artists, makers and designers. London-based Charlotte Wakefield of . . .
New finds | March 2021
Welcome to spring, everyone! I normally love winter, but I don't think I've ever been so happy to say hello to longer days, blossom and birdsong as I am this year! Anyway, the start of a new month - and in this case a new season - means it's time for my regular round-up of minimalist design finds. My latest discoveries include a couple of interesting launches from February's Stockholm Design Week . . .
Home tour | A beautiful mix of old & new in Leamington Spa
It's been a while since I last featured an interview-style home tour, but I love doing them when I can. It's always fascinating to get an insight into the people and stories that make a house a home, and I tend to come away from these chats with lots of ideas and inspiration. The property in today's post belongs to Francesca Chase, aka @theaccountantandroofer on Instagram . . .
How to plan a room layout
Room layout is one of the most crucial aspects of good interior design, and often the thing I spend longest perfecting when working on schemes for clients. It not only impacts the way a space looks, but also how it feels - and whether it's practical and enjoyable to use on a day-to-day basis. But finding the right layout can be tricky, especially if you have any awkward shapes or dimensions . . .
Profile | Bec Kirby of Soosumsee
A few months ago I featured the stunning house of designer Bec Kirby, and it's one of my favourite home tours to date (judging by the amount of shares and views it's received, it's one of yours, too). Her minimalist style is calm, considered and clutter-free, and I love the way she focuses on shaping spaces that feel as good as they look. So, I was very excited when she launched a new venture . . .
Rustic-minimalist interiors inspiration from Tine K Home
Last week I took you to a snowy Norwegian fjord, but today we're heading to warmer climes courtesy of Danish brand Tine K Home's spring-summer 2021 collection. It was styled and photographed at Villa Cardo in Puglia, southern Italy, and it's a wonderful mix of dreamy escapism and useful inspiration for the home . . .
The Bolder – a unique place to stay high above a Norwegian fjord
Every now and then images of a project which takes my breath away land in my inbox, and I get so excited that I end up rejigging my blog schedule so that I can share them as soon as possible. This is one such example. Perched high above Lysefjord in southwestern Norway and close to Pulpit Rock (made famous by Tom Cruise, who dangled from it in Mission Impossible 6), it's called The Bolder and . . .

I have more new-season collections to share with you over the next fortnight, but today I want to round up some of the other interesting product launches that have caught my eye in recent weeks. So, read on for details of minimalist home accessories, ingenious storage and display solutions, a paint collection that will instantly appeal to fans of warm, earthy neutrals, and much, much more . . .
Home tour | A contemporary waterside cabin in Denmark
I can never resist sharing new projects from Norm Architects, as they're always so beautiful - perfect examples of architecture and interior design in total harmony. Their latest - Fjord Boat House in Denmark - is no exception, and it's brimming with inspiration . . .
