I have another new-season collection from Scandinavia to share with you today, this time from Danish brand &tradition, which works with a range of designers to produce striking yet timeless pieces. . . .
Home tour | A pared-back apartment in Stockholm
This beautiful Swedish apartment is a perfect example of the minimal approach to living which I've been talking about a lot in recent weeks. Located in the buzzing Södermalm district of Stockholm, it's calming and clutter-free, with lots of natural light and a wonderfully fresh feel. . . .
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. I first sampled orecchiette (Italian for 'little ears') on Rome's Piazza Navona at the age of 17, when I was travelling around Italy between school and university. It was served with butternut squash and grated . . .
New designs from Stelton
More Danish design news for you today, this time from Stelton - a favourite of style-conscious coffee and tea lovers the world over. It has just released a raft of new designs, and they're some of my favourites to date. First up are new colour options for the brand's iconic 'EM77' cafetiere and vacuum jug, designed by Erik Magnussen all the way back in 1977. The latest shades were inspired by . . .

Tips for choosing the perfect shade of grey
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. Raised above the . . .
A minimalist approach for the new year
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. I've always been drawn towards minimalism and pared-back design, but this year I want to streamline my life as well as my home. My aim is to get rid of anything that I no . . .
Norm Architects launches new bathroom collection
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you had a restful festive break. After a wonderful week split between Bristol and my parents' house in Derbyshire, I'm feeling restored and raring to get going on 2017 posts - starting with the news that Norm Architects has launched a pared-back bathroom suite for Spanish company Inbani. Copenhagen-based Norm has created stunning designs for all sorts of . . .
Merry Christmas!
Well, what a strange year 2016 has turned out to be. On a personal level, it's been wonderful - it started with a road trip around Iceland and a surprise proposal, and ended with a couple of exciting new projects (more on those to follow soon). On a global level, it's been turbulent and troubling, and I can't help facing 2017 with a twinge of trepidation. Next year is going to be a big one in . . .
