The start of a new month means it's time for another round-up of design news and interesting product launches, and August's selection includes beautiful ceramics, eco-friendly candles, versatile speakers and more. So, without further ado, here are the things that have caught my eye over the last few weeks . . .
What does timeless style mean to you? [AD]
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership in collaboration with Habitat, but all words and opinions are my own] What does timeless style mean to you? It’s a question British furniture brand Habitat is posing to coincide with the launch of its ‘Furniture for Life’ campaign, which explores how we can choose and care for long-lasting pieces . . .
Home tour | Swedish small-space living in soft tones
I have a bumper home-tour post for you today, as it encompasses not one but three beautiful studio apartments. All form part of a new passive housing development in the Swedish city of Linköping and are great examples of how small spaces can be designed to maximise style, comfort and practicality . . .

Talking interior design for wellbeing with Louisa Grey
I'm a strong believer that interior design should be as much about the way a space makes us feel as the way it looks, and as a result I've always been drawn to the work of British designer and stylist Louisa Grey. Her studio House of Grey is renowned for its holistic approach, and she puts wellbeing firmly at the heart of every project . . .
Home tour | A stunning new-build in Skåne
Today I'm taking you back to the southern Swedish county of Skåne (the setting for my recent travel adventures) for a look around a newly built house that's just come up for sale with Fantastic Frank.

Top tips for Malmö, Sweden
[Advertisement - this post is based on press trips, but all words and opinions are my own] After a week pootling around the beautiful Skåne countryside, Emma and I dropped off our hire car and spent 24 hours exploring Malmö.

The VIPP Chimney House
I'm starting the week with a look around a stunningly beautiful space: the VIPP Chimney House, set in Copenhagen's up-and-coming Nordhavn area. It's the third outpost of the Danish design brand's innovative hotel, which turns the traditional concept of a hotel on its head by offering private suites in separate locations, and it makes an excellent addition to the existing VIPP Loft . . .
New finds | July 2019
I haven't done a round-up of design news for a while, as I had so much to share from my time at 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen.
