The Kubus by Lassen candleholder is one of my all-time favourite designs. Created by architect Mogens Lassen in 1962 and at first reserved exclusively for his family and friends, it’s a Danish classic that now pops up in Scandinavian-style interiors everywhere. The original eight-prong version is perhaps the most iconic, but there are also one-, two- and four-candle options, as well as a matching . . .
Room Envy | A simple but striking dining room
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).

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.

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 . . .
