It’s the end of another busy week, and I’m looking forward to relaxing over a lazy, wine-fuelled Friday dinner. I reckon this beautiful Scandinavian-style dining room would make the perfect setting, so it seemed like a good choice for my second ‘Room Envy’ post (you can read the first one here). There are so many things I love about this room: the delicate silvery-grey colour on the walls, the . . .
Review | Linen bedding from Soak & Sleep
I’ve seen linen bedding popping up all over the place lately, and I love the way it looks – relaxed, inviting, effortlessly stylish. I’ve also heard that it leads to a better night’s sleep, as its loose, natural flax is more breathable, absorbs more moisture and dries faster than tightly woven fabrics. But I’ve always worried that it might feel scratchy, and I’ve been reluctant to move away . . .
The Lifestyle Wall by Rooms Made For You
Last week I was lucky enough to spend an afternoon hanging out with TV architect George Clarke (of Amazing Spaces and Restoration Man fame) and a lovely bunch of fellow bloggers over bubbly and nibbles. The occasion: the launch of a new plasterboard called the Lifestyle Wall from British Gypsum’s Rooms Made For You range. I know, plasterboard doesn’t sound that exciting, but the Lifestyle Wall . . .
Instagram Inspiration | That Cornish Bird
When I first contacted Sian, aka @thatcornishbird, to ask if I could feature her in this month’s Instagram post, I received the following response: “Gosh, I’m lost for words... really! But if you wake up tomorrow and realise you’ve got me mixed up with someone else who’s actually talented and inspirational, then I totally understand.” Her self-effacing and humorous words made me chuckle, but . . .
Hotel des Galeries | Brussels
As autumn drizzle begins to set in here in the UK, I thought I'd try to cheer everyone up by sharing a few photos of the wonderfully bright, fresh interiors at this Belgian boutique hotel, which has just popped onto my radar. Hidden behind a listed façade in 19th-century Brussels shopping arcade Les Galeries Royales Saint-Hubert, its 23 rooms, communal library and ground-floor restaurant have . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | Plants & Art
Urban Jungle Bloggers is back from its summer break and this month’s theme, ‘plants and art’, is a particularly interesting one. The challenge set by hosts Igor (of Happy Interior Blog) and Judith (of JOELIX.com) was to show beautiful combinations of paintings, sculptures, prints and greenery, but I couldn’t resist interpreting it in a slightly different way and using my favourite plants to create . . .
Home tour | A light-filled London flat
This lovely, sunny London home belongs to architecture journalist and design blogger Cate St Hill, who describes herself as an ‘interiors enthusiast, green-fingered plant lover and wandering traveller’. I've seen various peeks inside via Cate's posts over the years and have always admired the wonderful blend of clean lines and vintage character, so I caught up with her to find out how she’s . . .
Review | This Works ‘Deep Sleep’ pillow spray
As much as I love blogging, juggling These Four Walls, a full-time job and other commitments has started to have a bit of a detrimental effect on my sleep. I used to be one of those annoying people who could drift off instantly and doze soundly until morning; I even had to set two alarms as I’d invariably snooze through the first one, despite the fact it sounds like a fog horn. Now it’s a . . .
Room envy | A lounge with perfect seasonal styling
Just a quick post today as I’ve had to rethink my schedule a little bit – the weather has been so dreary that I haven’t been able to take any photography for the posts I’d planned, so they’re on hold until next week. Instead, I thought I’d kick off a new series sharing pictures of particular rooms that inspire me, starting with this beautiful lounge. I recently posted a few images from Broste . . .
Hotel Miss Clara | Stockholm
In my final post about our recent trip to Sweden, I want to share a few snaps of the stylish Hotel Miss Clara, which sits in the very centre of Stockholm on the buzzing thoroughfare of Sveavagen. It’s been on my radar ever since it opened a couple of years ago, so we decided to make the most of our last night in the city and treat ourselves to a stay. Part of the Design Hotels group, it . . .
