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 . . .

Tivoli: a brand-new collection from Normann Copenhagen
Copenhagen’s Tivoli Gardens have been the setting for some of my fondest memories. I used to visit as a teenager with my Danish penfriend, and we’d spend hours testing our nerves on the rides before gorging ourselves silly on hot dogs and ice cream. So, I was intrigued to hear that Normann Copenhagen is launching a new homeware collection named after and inspired by the world-famous theme park. . . .
My favourite outdoor furniture ranges for summer 2018
Summer seems to have arrived early this year, and from the look of Instagram most of Europe is basking in beautiful sunshine at the moment. We also have a public holiday coming up here in the UK, so I imagine I'm not the only one planning lazy afternoons in the garden and balmy alfresco dinners this weekend. Our own garden is currently a bit of a jungle, but I'm already dreaming about how to . . .
MADE.com launches ‘TalentLAB’ to support emerging designers
A couple of weeks ago I was invited up to London to visit the brand-new offices of MADE.com, which has long been one of my go-to brands for stylish yet affordable design. It was a great opportunity to have a peek at their latest collection (more on that in future posts) and learn about the MADE TalentLAB – a fantastic new initiative which gives emerging designers the chance to showcase their work . . .
A stay at Nobis Hotel Copenhagen
Whenever I travel, I always try to seek out beautiful hotels which appeal to my love of design – not only are they a treat to stay in, they're also a wonderful source of inspiration for my own projects. The Swedish Nobis Hospitality Group has been responsible for some of my favourites to date, including Miss Clara and Hotel J in Stockholm, and its first addition in Denmark – Nobis Hotel Copenhagen . . .
Home tour | A contemporary coastal hideaway in Denmark
As much as I love city living, I've always longed to have a seaside pad to escape to every now and then, and this new-build Danish home from the ever-talented team at Norm Architects is the coastal hideaway of my dreams. Located in an unspoilt corner of northern Zealand, an hour from Copenhagen, the timber-clad house blends sleek Scandinavian minimalism with a dash of Bohemian barefoot luxury, . . .
A bedroom wall-art refresh
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Posterlounge, but all words and opinions are my own] I love how small changes can instantly transform a room, and one of my favourite quick-win updates is choosing new artworks for the walls. I’ve already had fun selecting prints for the gallery walls in our living room, and now it’s the turn of our master bedroom. Art is such a lovely way . . .

Today I’d like to introduce you to the first ceramics collection from talented Wiltshire-based photographer and now full-time potter Tracy Dixon. Tracy’s quiet, minimalist aesthetic is simply beautiful, and her pieces include everything from flat bud vases to stunning organically shaped bowls.
