Apologies for the lack of posts over the past couple of weeks – I’ve been on a bit of a whirlwind tour around Europe, with blogger trips to Copenhagen and Helsinki, a city break in Budapest with a friend, and an exciting photoshoot in London. More on all that to follow soon, but first I want to kick off a new series taking a closer look at some of my favourite design classics. I’m starting with . . .
New finds | September 2018
The start of another month – and in this case, another season – means it's time for my regular round-up of design news and other interesting bits and bobs. There's a lot to get through this time around, partly because details of autumn-winter 2018 collections continue to come through thick and fast, and partly because this week's Maison & Objet trade show in Paris has seen a raft of . . .
The autumn-winter 2018 collection from Menu
Another of my favourite Scandinavian brands, Menu, has just released details of its autumn-winter collection, and I couldn't resist sharing some of the images. Not only are they packed with wonderful new-season designs to lust after, they're also styled beautifully. I love the palette of soft beiges, browns, greys and taupes, and the brass, marble and bronze accents. The overall look is elegant, . . .
Home tour | A revamped New York brownstone
Today's home tour comes to you from New York, where a dark and dated apartment in a 1940s brownstone block has been given a very stylish makeover by design studio sheep + stone. Set in Gramercy Park, it has a gently glamorous air and is a perfect example of how minimalism needn't be stark or soulless. And, despite its high-end appearance and pricey furnishings, it's brimming with ideas that . . .
Autumn-winter 2018 design inspiration from Ferm Living
It may still be August, but details of the new-season interior collections are already beginning to emerge. Today I want to share a look at that of one of my favourite Danish brands, Ferm Living, as well as some design inspiration from its beautiful Copenhagen show apartment, known as 'The Home'. You might remember that I featured 'The Home' after a visit back in April, but it's had a bit of a . . .
A magical minibreak at Elmley Nature Reserve
How often do you see the sun rise? If you’re anything like me, then the answer is almost never. My ongoing struggle with insomnia means I’m much more of a night owl than a morning person, and even when I have to get up before dawn for an early train or flight, I’m always in too much of a rush to take any notice of what’s going on around me. But sunrise turned out to be one of the highlights of a . . .
12 of the best minimalist coat racks and coat stands
All homes need somewhere for hanging coats, bags, scarves and umbrellas, but just because coat racks and coat stands have to be practical doesn't mean they can't also be stylish. As the approaching onset of autumn means we'll soon have lots of cold-weather gear cluttering up our hallways, I've picked out 12 beautiful designs which combine functionality with sleek, minimalist aesthetics. There . . .
Home tour | A calm and considered London apartment
The beautiful apartment featured in today’s home tour belongs to Christina Thaisen, the founder of online interiors shop NABO. Originally from Copenhagen but now living in London, Christina is a big believer in sourcing meaningful, functional and long-lasting design, rather than following throwaway trends. It’s an admirable ethos which carries through her business and her home – a minimalist . . .
New finds | August 2018
August is here already, so it's time for my regular round-up of design news, product launches and other things that have caught my eye. This month there are some beautiful pieces from Denmark, Norway, Finland and the UK, as well as links to inspiration for travels, summer drinks and more – just scroll down for details. On a side note, I'll be taking a short holiday from blogging next week as . . .
A surprise stay aboard a stylish London houseboat
Last Wednesday I was sitting on the train to London, on my way to preview some of the upcoming autumn-winter designs from interiors brand MADE.com, when I received a rather unexpected email from the lovely ladies in its PR team. They’d just co-launched a brand-new houseboat rental called The Boathouse London and there’d been a last-minute cancellation, so would I like to stay there after the . . .
