We're getting towards the end of August, which means homeware brands are beginning to release details of their autumn-winter 2017 ranges. I'll be sharing some of my favourites over the next few weeks, starting with the 'Home Collection' from Danish company Ferm Living. Named after Ferm Living's new Copenhagen showroom, 'The Home', which opened its doors last week, the collection combines clean . . .
A visit to Kilver Court in Somerset
[This is a paid partnership with Kilver Court, but all words and opinions are my own] Living in Bristol, I’m lucky enough to be within easy reach of Somerset, one of my favourite English counties. There’s so much to love about it: the vast horizons and bird-filled wetlands of the Levels, the pretty harbour towns and grand old piers of the coast, the rolling hills of the Quantocks and the . . .
At The Chapel | Bruton
A couple of weeks ago fellow Bristol-based blogger Kym Grimshaw and I hopped in the car and headed down to Somerset for a quick girls-only getaway. Our destination was Bruton – one of my go-to places when I need an escape from the city. On the face of it, Bruton looks like any other English country town, with its honey-stone cottages, willow-lined river, ancient dovecote and twisting lanes. But . . .
Spanish design | Viccarbe
Today I’m sharing another discovery from the recent ‘Sunny Design Days’ tour, which was run by the Spanish Design Association (RED) to give a group of international bloggers a first-hand insight into Spain’s burgeoning design scene. I have to confess that I didn’t know very much about Viccarbe before the trip, but I soon fell in love with its contemporary furniture, much of it designed by . . .
Nærvær | Copenhagen
I often share peeks inside beautiful homes and hotels around the world, and I’ve decided it’s time I start throwing a few restaurants into the mix, too – they’re fantastic sources of design inspiration, and it’s always useful to keep an eye on places to visit when travelling. First up is Nærvær, a wine bar and restaurant in Copenhagen which opened its doors in June 2017. Set beside a canal in . . .
The new ‘Escapes’ collection from Skandinavisk
As anyone who reads my posts regularly will know, I'm a bit obsessed with scented candles (you can find a round-up of my favourites here). I light them almost every evening, and there's something about their softly glowing light and subtle fragrance that instantly calms my mind after a busy day. One of my go-to brands is Copenhagen-based Skandinavisk, whose range celebrates different aspects of . . .
Home tour | A bright coastal house near Copenhagen
This stunning abode near Copenhagen seemed like the ideal choice for my first post of August. Set in the seaside town of Vedbæk, it has a simple all-white interior with a breezy, beachy feel - perfect for a month when most of us have summer holidays firmly on the mind. Once a fisherman's cottage, the house has been transformed into a family home by the talented team at Norm Architects. They . . .
Recipe | Cherry Bakewell overnight oats
I've mentioned in previous posts that I'm not really a breakfast person during the week. Despite the old adage that it's the most important meal of the day, I tend to grab a smoothie and go, rather than sitting down to eat anything like I should. But this recipe for overnight oats from Kym Grimshaw of Bristol-based food blog On The Plate might just persuade me to break my bad habits. Firstly, . . .
Spanish design | Marset
Today I'm sharing more from the 'Sunny Design Days' tour of Spain, organised by the Association of Spanish Design (RED) to give a group of international bloggers the chance to experience the best of Spanish design first-hand. As I mentioned in my previous post, we spent the week visiting all sorts of fascinating studios and brands, and one of my personal highlights was an evening at the Marset . . .
Spanish Design | Hotel Alexandra, Barcelona
A few months ago, a rather unexpected and very exciting email popped into my inbox. It came from the Association of Spanish Design (RED), a not-for-profit organisation that promotes Spanish design around the globe. Each summer it runs a week-long tour called 'Sunny Design Days', which gives a small group of international bloggers the chance to experience Spanish design first-hand, and I was one of . . .
