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 . . .
Review | The GROHE ‘Sense’
[This is a paid partnership with GROHE, but all words and opinions are my own] There's been a huge growth in 'smart' home technology over the last couple of years - lighting which you can control via your phone, heating which you can turn on and off from outside the house, CCTV which you can access while you're out and about... So when renowned German brand GROHE got in touch asking if I'd . . .
‘YPPERLIG’ by IKEA x HAY
I have some more design news for you today, as two Scandinavian greats – Swedish super-brand IKEA and Danish company HAY – have just released the first official photographs of their hotly anticipated collaboration. Called 'YPPERLIG', the collection has been more than a year in the making (IKEA first teased us with mentions of it way back in June 2016), but it looks like it will have been worth . . .
New furniture & homeware finds | July 2017
As you may have seen on Instagram, I'm currently touring Barcelona, Valencia and Madrid with the Association of Spanish Design (RED). I'm looking forward to sharing all my discoveries from Spain with you when I get home, but in the meantime here's a round-up of the latest design finds from elsewhere to reach my radar... . . .
A weekend at Sisterhood Camp, Wales
Returning from a holiday often leaves me feeling strangely frazzled - so much work to catch up on, so many emails to answer, clothes to unpack and wash... But every now and then, I'm lucky enough to experience a break that's truly refreshing and restorative. One such getaway came a couple of weekends ago, when I was invited to Sisterhood Camp by the lovely people at Visit Wales. Part of a . . .
Home tour | A light-filled house in London
I included a couple of photos of this beautiful house in last week's post about maximising natural light, and I couldn't resist sharing a few more. Located in Fulham, southwest London, the Victorian terrace has been reworked by its photographer and software-developer owners to create a bright, minimalist family home. It has a distinct Scandinavian influence throughout, along with lots of clever . . .
Recipe | Stove-top radish & bacon toasts
Radish season is in full swing, and they're one of my favourite summer vegetables. I use them in all sorts of ways: in salads and sandwiches, as a garnish on steaks and soups, chopped up in salsas... But I've never thought of actually cooking them - until now. This quick and easy brunch recipe from Kym Grimshaw of food blog On The Plate has totally changed my perception of the humble radish, . . .
Tips for maximising natural light in your home
[This is a paid partnership with roofwindows.co.uk, but all words and opinions are my own] Natural light has a huge impact on our health and happiness. It not only aids the release of serotonin, the hormone that regulates our body clocks to help us wake up and fall asleep, but it’s also a major source of vitamin D – something that’s vital for our mood, our bones and our muscles. Yet for so . . .
A misty day on the Cornish coast
There's something about being by the coast that feeds the soul, no matter what the weather. To round off my posts from our recent minimoon in Cornwall, here's a selection of photos which I took in Mousehole and Sennen Cove on a hauntingly beautiful May morning, when mist shrouded the cliffs, waves crashed on the shore, and we had the windswept sands almost entirely to ourselves... . . .
