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. Covering 142sqm, this single-storey, cabin-style home is a wonderful example of interior design and architecture working in perfect harmony with each other . . .
Summer living-room updates
I'm always surprised by the way different accessories can totally transform the look and feel of a space, and today I want to share a couple of easy updates that I've made to our living room for the summer months. I love dressing interiors to match the seasons, and over the years I've built up a collection of soft furnishings, vases, candleholders and the like that I can swap in and out to suit . . .
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. This was my second visit to Sweden’s third-largest city, as I’d already been there on a separate press trip back in 2017, and I was very much looking forward to . . .
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. But there have been several exciting new product launches recently, so I thought it was time to start the series up again. My picks this month include affordable wall art, minimalist lighting, stylish IKEA kitchen hacks and more . . .
Exploring Skåne – the north west
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] After a very relaxing stay in south-east Skåne, Emma and I packed our bags and set off on the two-hour drive across country to the region's north-west corner. We could have done the journey in less time if we'd stuck to the motorways but we chose to take a slower, more scenic route . . .
Home tour | A Scandinavian-inspired rental in Idaho
For today's home tour, I'm heading across the Atlantic to the US state of Idaho and the beautiful house of stylist and photographer Willow Maurice. I've been following Willow on Instagram for a couple of years now and I've always been inspired by the airy, minimalist style of her home, which she shares with her husband and four children . . .
Exploring Skåne | The south-east coast
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] Sweden always tugs at my heart strings. No matter how many times I visit, no matter what time of year I go and no matter whether I head to city, coast or countryside, I always leave wanting more. So, there wasn't a moment's hesitation when Visit Skåne invited my friend Emma and I to spend six days . . .
Styling a summer breakfast table with Iittala
[Advertisement – this is a paid post in collaboration with Iittala, but all words and opinions are my own] For me, weekend breakfasts are something to be savoured – a chance to sit back, relax and ease into the day in a way that’s never possible from Monday to Friday. I always like to dress the table to make them feel that little bit more special, whether it’s just Chris and me or we have . . .
The Audo – a new hybrid space from Menu
I have another highlight from 3 Days of Design to share with you today, and it's a place that definitely merits a dedicated post of its own. Called The Audo and unveiled to the public during the event, it's the new HQ of Danish design brand Menu. But it's also so much more than that - in fact, it's an office, a showroom, a boutique hotel, a concept store, a café and a co-working space all rolled . . .
