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 . . .
New finds | June 2018
Another month has rolled by, so it’s time for my regular round-up of design news and product launches. As usual I have plenty of discoveries from Scandinavia to share, as well as a few finds from home shores – plus scroll down for details of some interesting events coming up over the next few weeks. Also, just a little reminder that there’s more interiors, travel and lifestyle inspiration in my . . .
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, . . .
