There's a definite hint of spring in the air this week. The sun is shining (for the most part), blossoms and daffodils have started to emerge, and there's a touch of warmth in the breeze when I leave for work each morning. It feels as if the world is awakening around me, and it's making my spirits soar. Homeware brands also seem to be embracing the fleeting beauty of this time of year, and in . . .
Profile | Meraki
I don't often blog about beauty and skincare, but every now and then a brand pops onto my radar which I just have to share. Meraki is one such brand - beautifully packaged, accessible, made entirely from natural ingredients, and created with a simple Scandinavian aesthetic. What's more, it was founded by one of my favourite Danish interiors companies, House Doctor. I chatted to Meraki's . . .
Practical tips for an Icelandic road trip
Following our recent adventures in Iceland, I thought it would be useful to share some advice for anyone thinking about planning a similar trip. So, here are some tips that we picked up during our travels... . . .
Making a guest room feel special
I've been thinking about bedrooms a lot over the past few days - mostly because a recent bout of flu means I've spent a lot more time in mine than usual! Specifically, I've been thinking about how to make our second bedroom feel special for guests. Spare rooms are so often afterthoughts - places where we store clutter, or hide away furniture that we no longer like. Ours is no exception - it's a . . .
Iceland | Exploring Reykjavik
After an incredible week of glaciers, snowstorms and icebergs (plus a surprise proposal!), our time in Iceland ended with a couple of days in Reykjavik. I’ve already talked about where we stayed; now it’s the turn of the city itself. The world’s most northerly capital is an intriguing little place. It’s tiny – around half the size of Bristol – and feels a little like a frontier town thanks to . . .
Iceland | A beautiful Reykjavik apartment
I’ve spent the past couple of evenings looking through the last of the thousands (yes, thousands!) of photos that I took in Iceland and reminiscing about Reykjavik, the final leg of our trip. I’ll post a bit about our time exploring the world’s most northerly capital city later this week, but first I want to share some pictures of the stunning apartment we stayed in. There’s something wonderful . . .
Finding your interiors personality with Sandberg
Today I want to share a lovely new concept from Swedish company Sandberg, which produces beautifully crafted wallpapers and accessories. For its spring-summer 2016 trend report, Sandberg has chosen not to present a vast collection of new designs, but to devise a tool to help people discover their interiors personality. The aim is to encourage responsible consumption by enabling customers to . . .
Room Envy | A grey & white kitchen
I've covered bedrooms, lounges, bathrooms and more, so I thought it was about time I picked a kitchen for my monthly 'Room Envy' post. There are so many wonderful ideas in this beautiful space, which sits in an airy, light-filled Stockholm apartment. The dark units mix classic lines with a contemporary matt finish, and they're offset by sparkling Carrara marble counters. The striking brass . . .
Iceland | The south coast, Vík & Jökulsárlón
More from our recent adventures in Iceland today. After our stay at the wonderful Ion Hotel, we headed southeast towards the little coastal town of Vík. Our journey began in crisp sunshine, and we meandered slowly along Route 1 (the ring road which encircles the entire country), past snow-covered plains and farmsteads which resembled dolls’ houses against the towering peaks. . . .
Home tour | A revamped North Vancouver house
I’m heading across the Atlantic for my latest home-tour post – a beautiful Canadian abode which fuses industrial and rustic styles to stunning effect. Located in North Vancouver, this 1950s house has been completely transformed by architects Scott & Scott. The owners, two history professors, were keen to create a bright, contemporary home without erasing traces of the building’s past. They . . .
