[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] Few places have captured my heart the way Finnish Lapland did. I loved the vast skies and the fresh Arctic air (the cleanest in the world, apparently). I loved the frozen lakes and the silent forests, with their towering pine trees and spruces twisted into otherworldly shapes under the weight of snow . . .
Early spring styling with Georg Jensen’s ‘Bloom Botanica’ collection
[Advertisement - this is a paid collaboration with Georg Jensen, but as always words and opinions are my own] I love living somewhere with distinct seasons, and I always relish watching the natural world change around me.

A stay at Design Hotel Levi in Finnish Lapland
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] I've spoken before about my love of travelling to cold destinations, and Lapland - the remote, sparsely populated region that stretches across northern Finland - has always held near-mystical appeal. I've long dreamt of visiting in winter to experience its silent, snow-covered wilderness . . .
The spring-summer 2020 collection from Northern
Happy Monday everyone! I'm currently on my way to Stockholm for the city's annual Furniture Fair - always a great opportunity to soak up lots of Nordic design inspiration.

Sunset & starling murmurations on the Somerset Levels
Although I love living in a city, I always appreciate escaping to the countryside for a few hours, and I'm lucky that Bristol is within easy reach of some of the most beautiful parts of the UK. One of my favourite areas to visit is the Somerset Levels - a vast swathe of wildlife-rich plains and wetlands whose watery vistas and ever-changing light always feed my soul . . .

A stylish chalet break in the French Alps
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] I love winter travel - some of my favourite holidays have taken me to frozen landscapes such as Iceland and West Sweden, and I'd choose snow and ice over a tropical beach any day. That said, I've always shied away from booking stays in classic ski destinations . . .
The spring-summer 2020 collection from Ferm Living
Today I'm sharing more new-season interiors news, this time from a brand whose launches I always look forward to seeing: Ferm Living.

Home tour | A beautiful period apartment in Edinburgh
It's time for my first home tour of 2020 and today's is particularly special, as it features a property that I was lucky enough to visit and photograph in person. Located in a traditional tenement building in the Morningside area of Edinburgh, this two-bedroom apartment belongs to interior designer Salsabil El-Awaisi, who I've been following on Instagram for a while now . . .
The Hvidt & Mølgaard collection from &Tradition
I love it when long-lost design classics are brought back to life, so I was very excited to hear that &tradition is relaunching a range of beautiful furniture first created back in the 1950s. The Danish brand already looks after a wealth of Scandinavian icons, including Arne Jacobsen's 'Bellevue' lamp and Viggo Boesen's 'Little Petra' chair . . .
