Today I’m sharing a peek inside a stunning conversion that’s not only a family home, but also a very stylish B&B. Called The Bunkers, it sits on the site of an 18th-cenury fortress on the Belgian-Dutch border and showcases the kind of old-meets-new design that always makes me stop in my tracks. The B&B occupies the fortress’ former barn, which has been beautifully transformed by . . .
Review + discount | Bedfolk bedding
Few things beat climbing into a bed piled with fresh bedding, but finding the right set can be tricky. The vast array of options on the market is confusing (pre-washed linen, non pre-washed linen, cotton with umpteen different thread counts, even bedding made from bamboo fibres), and most of the time it's impossible to tell whether they've been ethically made. So, when just-launched company . . .
‘Home of a Collector’ by &tradition
I love it when interiors brands create showrooms that look like authentic homes – they're so much more appealing than bland, echoey settings that have nothing in common with the spaces where their designs might end up. I've seen several inspiring examples recently ('The Home' by Ferm Living, Menu's London apartment) and the latest to catch my eye is 'Home of a Collector' by &tradition, which . . .

A country escape with Plankbridge Shepherd’s Huts
As much as I love living in a city, I often find myself craving a few days in the countryside, totally immersed in nature. It’s a chance to slow down, breathe more deeply and switch off from the daily grind, and I always come back feeling clear-headed and refreshed. That said, I’ve never particularly enjoyed camping. Airbeds, damp sleeping bags and communal shower blocks? No thanks. But a . . .
Home tour | A pared-back Swedish apartment in blue, white and black
Happy Monday everyone! It’s home-tour time again, and today I have a beautiful Swedish apartment decorated in blue, white and black to share with you. I’m a total colour-phobe when it comes to interiors (read why in this post), but the soft greyish blue used in this Gothenburg pad is one of the few shades I could happily incorporate into my own home – it’s wonderfully soothing and reminds me of . . .
Profile | Emilie Van Camp of IyaGallery
Today I’m continuing my series of interviews with inspiring makers and creatives by chatting to another long-term Instagram friend, Emilie Van Camp of IyaGallery. I’ve been an admirer of Emilie’s photography for years – in fact I’ve featured an interview with her before, as part of my 2015 ‘Instagram inspiration’ series – so I was very excited to see her move into watercolour painting. I was . . .
12 of the best planters, plant pots and plant boxes
I can't imagine having a home without plants. Not only do they make spaces feel calmer and more inviting, they also improve air quality and have a positive effect on mental wellbeing. What's more, there are all sorts of beautiful ways to show them off, so for this month's 'best of' round-up I've picked out 12 of the most stylish minimalist planters, plant pots and plant boxes on the market at the . . .
Top tips for Copenhagen
Someone once told me that it’s difficult not to feel at home in Copenhagen, even if you don’t speak a word of Danish. That certainly rings true, and it’s a city I’ve felt drawn to again and again, ever since my first visit through a school exchange programme at the age of 14. For me, Copenhagen has it all – elegant boulevards, pretty little streets lined with houses painted in ochre, grey and . . .
