I've always associated the brand with larger items and online shopping, so I was intrigued to discover that not only does it also sell a wide range of smaller home . . .
Six of the best… scented candles
Today I'm kicking off a new series of posts showcasing some of the best home accessories and furniture designs across a range of categories, starting with the humble scented candle.

Home tour | A pared-back apartment in Stockholm

Recipe | Sausage & kale orecchiette
It's time for the first recipe of 2017 from the talented Kym Grimshaw of food blog On the Plate, and I'm particularly excited about this one as it uses my favourite pasta: orecchiette.

It was served with butternut squash and grated . . .

You’ve probably noticed by now, but I’m a little obsessed with grey; in fact, our entire house is painted in one shade or another. For me, it's the perfect colour: it's sleek, it's sophisticated, it works as a neutral backdrop for all sorts of accents, and it's wonderfully calming to come home to at the end of a busy day. But choosing exactly the right shade can be tricky, so here are a few tips . . .
Home tour | A minimalist farmhouse in Suffolk
After talking about minimalism and Norm Architects in last week’s posts, it seems fitting that my first home tour of 2017 is a minimal house created by the Copenhagen-based studio itself. Contemporary Scandinavian design isn’t something you’d normally associate with a rural farmhouse, but Reydon Grove, located on a working farm in Suffolk (southern England), offers just that.

Does anyone else find themselves craving calmness and simplicity in January? As soon as the madness of Christmas is over, I can't wait to tear down the decorations, clear out the clutter and focus on what really matters.
