I hope you all enjoyed a long, lazy Easter weekend? I've spent a few days away from blogging, catching up with friends and ploughing through the last bits of wedding planning (just over three weeks to go!), but it's time to get back into the swing of things. And a peek inside this beautiful apartment in the Swedish city of Gothenburg seemed like the perfect way to kick off! What immediately . . .
Design for wellbeing
For me, interior design isn’t just about the way a room looks, but about the way it makes you feel. It makes sense when you think about it: with ever-more stressful lifestyles, a turbulent political climate and technology that means it's harder and harder to switch off, our homes tend to act as sanctuaries where we can relax and recuperate. So, the way we design and decorate them can have a huge . . .
New furniture & homeware finds | March 2017
Another month, another slew of beautiful new home accessories and furniture designs to coo over. Here's a round-up of the pieces that have caught my eye over the last few weeks... . . .
Recipe | Artichoke, garlic & cannellini bean soup
It's a strange time of year, don't you think? There are signs of spring everywhere, but the weather is still catching up. One minute it's freezing cold and I find myself craving hearty winter comfort food; the next, the sun appears and I want to tuck into fresh, new-season greens. Luckily, the latest recipe from Kym Grimshaw of food blog On the Plate is perfect for this in-between stage. It . . .
Home tour | A house of contrasts near Copenhagen
It's time for another home tour and, inspired by the contemporary Suffolk farmhouse which I featured back in January, I've decided to share another beautiful house from Danish design gurus Norm Architects. Set in the seaside town of Vedbæk, to the north of Copenhagen, it was originally built in 1853 and retains many period features, including exposed rafters and a stunning staircase which . . .
Relaxed spring-summer styling from Tine K Home
Today's dose of interiors inspiration comes from Danish designer Tine Kjeldsen of Tine K Home. She's just released details of her spring-summer 2017 collection, and it's a real beauty. Entitled 'Boho', it was inspired by the idea of slowing down, enjoying everyday life and focusing on the things which really matter - a theme that's becoming ever more popular in this turbulent world of ours, and . . .
Hotel Danmark | Copenhagen
I have a bit of design-related travel news to start the week, as I've just discovered that Brochner Hotels, owner of long-time Copenhagen favourite Hotel SP34, is about to launch a brand-new base in the Danish capital. Called Hotel Danmark, it's due to open its doors to guests in April and, from the look of the press photos, it's going to be stunning. The interiors blend sleek Scandinavian . . .
Six of the best…. Scandinavian shelving systems
Shelving may not be the most exciting item of furniture, but it's perhaps one of the most essential - particularly if you yearn for minimal, clutter-free interiors. With that in mind, I decided to make versatile shelving systems the focus of my second 'Six of the best' round-up (you can see the first one here). As usual, Scandinavia has produced some of the most stylish designs, all with the . . .
Our engagement photos on the Cornish coast
For a blogger, I'm rather camera-shy - I set up These Four Walls back in 2014 and I could probably count on one hand the number of photos of myself that I've posted since then. But I couldn't resist sharing a few images from our engagement shoot with talented film photographer Louise of Taylor & Porter, who I recently interviewed and who will be capturing our wedding in May. The shoot took . . .
A road trip through Liguria
Last autumn Chris and I embarked on a mammoth road trip through the Liguria region of northern Italy, reviewing hotels for my day job with i-escape. We flew into Pisa and followed the coast all the way round to the French border and back again, travelling more than 1000km over the course of a week. A packed schedule left little time to explore, but I was so struck with the colours and textures we . . .
