It's time for another home tour and today I have a stunning house from the cathedral city of Salisbury in Wiltshire, southwest England, to show you. It's owned by Irene and Sammy, the duo behind Instagram feed @nordicllar, and it blends pared-back Scandinavian style with influences from their Catalan and British roots (llar, by the way, is the Catalan word for 'home'). It's also a great example of . . .
Made-to-measure window shutters from Shutterly Fabulous
[Advertisement – this post features gifted items, but all words and opinions are my own] I’ve been really pleased with the way our living room has looked and felt since we finished our makeover project last year, but until recently one final touch was missing: the right window dressings. Like many Victorian houses, our living room has a bay window that’s very tricky to deal with. . . .
How to approach decorating a new-build home
[Advertising - this is a paid partnership with David Wilson Homes, but all words and opinions are my own] A new-build property provides the perfect blank canvas for creating a home that’s a true reflection of you, your personality and your lifestyle. After all, you’re not inheriting anyone else’s tastes, and you won’t have any stressful structural works to contend with before you can start . . .
Trends & launches from the Stockholm Furniture Fair
Apologies for the lack of new posts over the past week - I've been in Sweden, where I spent some time exploring Gothenburg and the west coast before heading to the capital for the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair and the city's annual Design Week.

Home tour | A pared-back house & waterside cabin in Norway
Today I have not one but two beautiful real-life homes to show you: a stylish family house and a gorgeous waterside cabin. Both are located in western Norway and belong to interiors consultant Astrid Marie Vie, whose gorgeous Instagram account first caught my eye when she shared the stunning sea view from her living-room window. Astrid's style is my idea of Scandinavian design perfection: . . .
New finds | January 2019
It's time for my monthly round-up of design news, and the recent IMM Cologne and Maison & Objet trade fairs mean there have been plenty of exciting product launches over the last few weeks. I'll have more inspiring finds to share in February, too, as I'm currently on my way to Sweden to visit the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair - the biggest event in the Nordic design calendar. Stay . . .
Focus on: Fredericia’s ‘Trinidad’ chair
[Advertising - this post references a gifted item and a free press trip, although all words and opinions are my own] I've long admired the innovative work of Nanna Ditzel (1923-2005), who was a leading figure in the 1990s revival of Danish design, even though she was well into her 70s at the time. Over the course of her long career she created jewellery for Georg Jensen, textiles for . . .
The ‘Slow Collection’ from Tine K Home
After a funny old week (my mind's been all over the place and I haven't slept very well), I'm looking forward to slowing down and relaxing this weekend. So, today seems like the right time to share the inspiring new 'Slow Collection' from Danish interiors brand Tine K Home. Every season Tine K themes its range around a particular mood, and this one caught my eye instantly - not so much because . . .
My minimalist hallway makeover | Mood board & plans
[Advertisement - this post references gifted items, but all words and opinions are my own] The process of going through our house room by room and slowly making it our own continues, and next on the list is the hallway. It's quite a challenging space to deal with, so I want to share my plans and the inspiration behind them. Hallway decor is so often treated like an afterthought, and I've . . .
Home tour | An elegant family apartment in Stockholm

Created by Refine Design Studio, the scheme balances the owners' contemporary tastes with the apartment's stunning period features.
