Normally the first week of February would see me heading off to Sweden for the Stockholm Furniture Fair - one of the biggest trade shows in the design calendar. That's been postponed until September due to current circumstances, but the launch of various new-season collections means there's still plenty of interiors inspiration to soak up. As usual I'll be sharing some of my favourites, and I'm . . .
The RF200 table lamp – versatile design for spaces large & small
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Carl Hansen & Søn] For the next instalment in my ongoing partnership with Carl Hansen & Søn, I'm focusing on the latest addition to its growing range of timeless and beautiful lighting: the RF200 table lamp. Launched just before Christmas and also known as the 'Petal', the lamp takes its inspiration from trees, with a chunky . . .
Runo – a new Finnish hotel from interior designer Joanna Laajisto
I'm starting the week with a bit of interiors and travel inspiration courtesy of Runo - a new boutique hotel designed by Helsinki-based Joanna Laajisto. It recently opened its doors in the southern Finnish city of Porvoo, and it's a wonderful example of how historic spaces can be transformed without losing their soul or sense of place. Porvoo is known for its colourful wooden cottages and the . . .
Merry Christmas!
After a rollercoaster year, today is my last working day of 2021. But before I put on my out of office and take a couple of weeks off, I want to share a peek at my final Christmas decorations - the tree, which I've dressed in grey, white, silver and earthy brown to match the decor of the living room, and my homemade wreath . . .
Minimalist Christmas table styling with festive foliage
[Advertisement - this post features PR samples] With 10 days to go, I'm putting the finishing touches in place for Christmas. I've planned the menu, started baking, added a few final decorations and practiced how I'm going to style the table - always one of my favourite things to do . . .
The Edit | Festive cocktails
Cocktails and mocktails always make celebrations feel that little bit more special, don't you think? Maybe it's the fact that we don't have them every day, or perhaps that they take a while to mix up - there are rituals involved in their creation, and the wait only makes us savour them more. Whatever the reasons, with Christmas and New Year approaching I thought I'd dedicate this month's edition . . .

![[AD - paid partnership] If you’ve been following me for any length of time, you might be aware that I’ve long been worried about the damaging effects of indoor air pollution. But you might also know that I’ve found an effective way to tackle it thanks to the stylish and sustainable @briiv.natural air purifier, which has the air-cleansing power of 3,043 houseplants and produces 80.57% less CO2 over its lifetime than any other model on the market. We've used ours every day for the past three years, so I was delighted when Briiv asked me to try out their latest model, the Briiv 2 Pro.
The Briiv 2 Pro has all the features of the original, plus some clever extras: an AI-drive sensor that monitors air quality in real time, and a setting known as 'Canary Mode' that can activate it automatically whenever this drops beneath a certain level. The latter has been a game-changer for us in recent weeks, springing into life to deal with the harmful particles from traffic and nearby wood-burners long before we notice them seeping into our home. I'm sure it will be very useful come hay-fever season, too.
There's a full review on the blog, but in short, it's a great product that really does make a difference!
