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.

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
For my first home-tour post of 2019 I'm taking you to Stockholm, to a beautiful apartment designed for a family returning to Sweden after a stint living abroad. Created by Refine Design Studio, the scheme balances the owners' contemporary tastes with the apartment's stunning period features.

The spring-summer 2019 collection from Menu
I'm ending the week with a look at the new-season collection from another of my favourite Danish interior-design brands: Menu. As always, it's packed with elegant, minimalist pieces that are the perfect balance of form and function, and as always I'm already dreaming about adding a few of them to my own home! . . .
Earthy new-season inspiration from Ferm Living
It's that time of year when homeware brands start releasing details of their new-season collections, and I'll be sharing a peek at some of my favourites over the coming weeks. I'm starting with one that I always look forward to seeing: Ferm Living's. Ferm's spring-summer 2019 range is packed with beautiful pieces, but that's not the only reason it appeals: I also love the way it's been . . .
A slow, sustainable approach to decorating your home
If you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen that I recently shared a Story template put together by Allan of Bungalow 5, asking people to pledge to make more eco-conscious design decisions in 2019. It's something I've been thinking about a lot recently - not only because I want to reduce my own impact on the planet, but also because I'm always advocating a more mindful approach to . . .
New-year inspiration from H&M Home
As soon as Christmas is over and the decorations are packed away, I always find myself searching for ways to freshen up my home for the new year. These images of the latest collection from H&M Home provide plenty of inspiration and show just how easy it is to breathe new life into interiors with a few carefully chosen accessories. They were taken at beautiful Lisbon hotel Santa Clara 1728 - . . .
A winter break in the Yorkshire Dales
[Advertising - this post covers a free press stay, though all words and opinions are my own] I've always had a soft spot for the Yorkshire Dales. It's where my late maternal grandmother was born, and she and my grandfather kept a holiday home up there for years. I have very fond memories of magical summers there as a child, paddling in rivers with my brothers, exploring hills and . . .
