This giveaway has now closed. Congratulations to the winner, Kate Parsons, and thanks to everyone who took part! I always find that beds in luxury hotels feel a little bit more special than my bed at home: the linen is a tad crisper, the duvet softer, the mattress a touch more comfortable... If you agree then you'll like my latest competition, as I've teamed up with House of Fraser to give away . . .
Home tour | A light-filled extension in London
I love seeing how period properties can be adapted through clever design, evolving to suit modern lifestyles without losing any of their character or charm. This wonderful example comes from jewellery designer Sally Vanderpump, who has transformed the ground floor of her Edwardian house with a contemporary extension that's flooded with natural light. The result is stunning: a sociable, open-plan . . .
Investing in design classics
This is a paid partnership with Nest, but all words and opinions are my own As I’ve grown older, I’ve begun to appreciate the importance of investing in good design; I’d far rather save up for a classic piece that I’ll enjoy every day for years to come, than rush into buying cheaper items which won’t stand the test of time.

A weekend afloat on a London houseboat
I've always fancied embarking on a canal holiday - pootling along with a glass of wine in hand, watching the world drift slowly by. I've also always been fascinated by houseboats, and on trips to Amsterdam and Copenhagen I've found myself peering through portholes for a glimpse of life on the water. So, when Chris and I were offered a night's stay at The Palmer, a houseboat rental on Regent's . . .
Recipe | Butter-baked corn & Kym’s ultimate potato salad
The latest seasonal recipe from Kym Grimshaw of food blog On the Plate celebrates an ingredient that's synonymous with this lovely late-summer, early-autumn cusp: sweet, juicy corn on the cob. Here, Kym has given it a subtle chilli kick and served it up with what is quite possibly the best potato salad I've ever tasted (really!). It's like sunshine on a plate and makes a wonderfully easy supper. . . .
Home tour | A Scandi-inspired family house in Bristol
Instagram is brimming with stunning real-life homes that provide plenty of interiors inspiration. One of the most beautiful that I've come across to date belongs to Beth Harrison (@_beth1980_), who shares my love of Scandinavian style and muted colours - in fact, her Victorian terrace features some of my all-time favourite pieces, including Design Letters & Friends mugs, Muuto's 'The Dots', . . .

I've been searching for prints to hang above our bed for months and, as is often the case nowadays, I ended up finding the answer on Instagram. It was there that I recently stumbled across Tracy Dixon, whose beautiful photography instantly caught my eye. Tracy captures unusual perspectives of the world around us, and her photos are simply stunning: striking enough to stand out against our grey . . .
