One morning not so long ago a very exciting email popped into my inbox: an invitation to join a two-day press tour to Helsinki, courtesy of Finnair and Finavia (the company which runs Helsinki Airport). It was tricky timing, sandwiched between already-booked trips to Copenhagen and Budapest, but how could I pass up the chance to explore the only Nordic capital which I hadn't yet visited, and . . .
New finds | October 2018
I've already shared my favourite discoveries from London Design Fair and Design Junction, but there are plenty of other new launches that have caught my eye over the past few weeks. So, here are my top picks this month, together with details of some other interesting bits and bobs on my radar... . . .
Behind the scenes at Georg Jensen
Today I'm sharing more from my recent trip to Copenhagen, where I was one of a small group of bloggers treated to a behind-the-scenes look at two iconic companies. After spending our first day with Fredericia, we moved on to a brand which has had a significant impact on Danish design and culture over the course of its long history: Georg Jensen. Named after its founder, Georg Jensen was . . .
Top picks from Design Junction & the London Design Fair
I spent much of the second half of September hopping backwards and forwards between Bristol and London, trying to catch as much of the London Design Festival as I could. This huge celebration of design saw hundreds of pop-up installations and exhibitions taking place all over the city, a couple of which I've featured already. It also brought a cluster of interiors fairs, and today I want to share . . .
A warm take on neutrals with Crown Paints
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Crown Paints, but as always all words and opinions are my own] What does colour mean to you? For me, it not only has a huge impact on the way a space looks, but also on the way it feels – it enables us to create homes where we feel happy and comfortable, and which reflect our style and individuality. So, I was very excited to be asked to take . . .
Easy bathroom updates (+ giveaway!) with White Black Grey
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with White Black Grey, but as always all words and opinions are my own] I very rarely show photos of our bathroom, as it's not particularly pretty. We inherited it with the house and although it's by no means awful - a plain white suite with white tiles and slate-effect laminate flooring - it's definitely a little tired and dull-looking. One day . . .
Home tour | A playful London chapel conversion
On Monday I shared a peek inside the beautiful London townhouse of interior designer Louisa Grey, which I visited during the 'In the Neighbourhood' pop-up last week. Now, as promised, here's a look at the other space which formed part of the exhibition: the stunning apartment of Morgwn Rimel, founder of cultural design studio Superculture. Even though I didn't get to see this place in person, I . . .
Exploring Danish design with Fredericia
One of the reasons I'm drawn to Scandinavian design is its timeless appeal. Rather than slavishly following the latest trends, it's often intended to last for decades and even be passed down through the generations. In fact many of the most popular Scandinavian pieces were created back in the 1950s and 60s, but they're just as relevant today as when they were first launched. Few brands embody . . .
Home tour | An elegant, calming house in London
I've always believed that good interior design is as much about wellbeing as aesthetics - after all, decor can have a huge impact on our health and mood, and the feel of a space is just as important as the way it looks. Few places demonstrate this more than the beautiful North London home of Louisa Grey, founder of interiors studio House of Grey, which I was lucky enough to visit along . . .
Minimalist travel posters (+ discount!) from Bold Tuesday
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Bold Tuesday, but as always all words and opinions are my own] I've aways loved travel, and I've always had a bit of a geeky obsession with maps and place names. I used to pore over my parents' Atlas as a child, and to this day I love looking up aerial views on Google Maps or tracing the route of any plane and train journeys I take. And I can . . .
