I tend to veer towards period properties, but this contemporary bungalow instantly caught my eye when I spotted it on the website of Danish interiors magazine Bo Bedre. Located by a lake to the north of Copenhagen, it sits within a 1960s shell that has been transformed into a sleek family home by architects Ernst + Kindt-Larsen. The house coils around the water, with a split-level floorplan to . . .
Handcrafted minimalism from Melo
I’m very excited about sharing my first interiors discovery of 2016, Swedish furniture studio Melo, as it embodies so many things I love – simplicity, high-quality craftsmanship, and beautiful yet functional Scandinavian design. Melo was founded by five Stockholm-based friends, including interior photographer Sara Medina Lind and furniture maker Olle Holman, who first started chatting about . . .
Tips for adding new-year freshness to your home
Yesterday I finished that saddest of tasks: taking down the Christmas decorations and packing them away for another year. It always leaves the house looking bare, and there are still a couple of months of winter to endure before the first glimmer of spring appears. But January is also a wonderful opportunity for breathing some fresh life into a home, so here are a few simple changes that can make . . .
The Crown | Buckinghamshire
Over the years, squeezing in a quick December break has become a bit of a pre-Christmas tradition for Chris and me – it’s a chance to escape the shopping, the decorating and the frenetic preparations, and to relax somewhere quiet for a day or two. We always try to pick a suitably atmospheric spot and this year’s choice, The Crown in Amersham, was perfect – stylish, cosy and brimming with good . . .
Home tour | An art-filled Danish apartment
I’m starting the week with a break from Christmas-themed posts, as I wanted to share a few photos of this stunning Copenhagen apartment. The home of ceramicist Anne Black and her family, it’s swathed in natural light and dressed in soft, serene colours, creating the perfect backdrop for an extensive collection of art and the many period features. The original parquet floors, ornate plasterwork, . . .
Styling a winter table | Part 2
I’m really beginning to get into the festive spirit now: I’ve started my shopping, ordered the tree and even opened the first bottle of sloe gin (oops!)... Time, then, to share the second of the winter table arrangements which I’ve put together to provide some inspiration for seasonal gatherings. Last week I posted some photos of my first effort – an elegant affair with tall brass candlesticks . . .

![[AD - PR product] I'm getting in the mood for my trip to the Norwegian Arctic on Thursday with 'Skydance' by @aulilondon - a scented candle inspired by the ethereal magic of the Northern Lights. With layers of pine, Siberian fir, cedarwood and iris, it's delicate, fresh, uplifting and gently mysterious - it somehow really does capture the wonder of the Aurora.
I've been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights a few times before, in Iceland and Finnish Lapland (pictured). I'm keeping everything crossed they make an appearance in Norway, especially as the friend I'm travelling with has never seen them, despite living in Sweden for several years! The weather forecast isn't looking too promising at the moment though...
