The start of a new month - and in this case a new season - means it's time for my regular pick of minimalist design finds. It's a particularly Denmark-heavy selection today, as this week sees Copenhagen host its annual 3 Days of Design festival (originally due to take place in May but postponed) . . .
Home tour | A sustainable new-build in Norway
Today's home tour comes to you courtesy of Ask og Eng - a Norwegian design studio which makes beautiful kitchens and other fitted furniture using sustainably sourced materials. It was founded by environmental geographer Kine Ask Stenersen and architect Kristoffer Eng in 2016 after they struggled to find an eco-friendly kitchen solution when renovating their first apartment . . .
Minimalist makers: wall art
It's time for the second in my 'minimalist makers' series, which showcases the work of independent artisans and craftspeople across a range of different categories. Today's focus is art - and more specifically, art for the wall . . .
How to make and use mood boards
A few weeks ago I shared eight questions to ask yourself before embarking on a decorating project. The idea behind them was to help you cut through the noise and trends, gain the clarity you need to create a space that works for you and your lifestyle, and avoid costly mistakes that would take time and money to put right.

Casa na Terra – a unique holiday hideaway in Portugal’s Alentejo
How does everyone feel about travelling at the moment, given the ongoing restrictions and quarantine rules? I'm still nervous about it, but that hasn't stopped me browsing the net and dreaming about where I'll go as soon as I feel a bit more confident. And my latest find, Casa na Terra in Portugal's beautiful Alentejo region, is certainly fuelling my wanderlust . . .
New designs from Kristina Dam
Details of upcoming autumn-winter homeware collections are already beginning to trickle through and I'll be sharing some of my favourites over the coming weeks. As always, my aim isn't to make you want to rush out and buy lots of new things, or feel pressured into following trends (you can read my views on those here), but simply to provide a bit of inspiration . . .
Home tour | An airy Altbau apartment in Berlin
Today I'm taking you to Berlin for a look around the beautiful home of American designer and creative Rebecca Goddard. The Altbau (period-build) apartment that she shares with her husband is a stunning mix of old and new, with soaring ceilings, parquet floors and lots of natural light. I love the way she's kept pieces to a minimum, creating a calm and airy feel . . .
21 of the best adjustable desk lamps
Last week I shared the above photo of my work set-up on Instagram and received so many questions about the lamp - IKEA's versatile and great-value 'YPPERLIG' design - that I thought I'd dedicate a whole blog post to the best adjustable desk lamps currently on the market . . .
