Today I'm continuing my series of interviews with independent designers and artists by talking to ceramicist Reesha Zubair, whose work has captivated me ever since I first stumbled across her Instagram page - in fact she featured in a 'minimalist makers' round-up on here not so long ago. Based just a few streets away from me in Bristol, southwest England, she hand-crafts stunning vessels . . .
Design project | A minimalist living room in beige, white & walnut
It's not often I get to share my finished client designs. Many people (understandably) are reluctant to have their homes featured online, and in any case lockdown has made it virtually impossible for me to visit them to take photos over the last year. So, I'm very excited to be able to show you the results of one of my favourite projects to date, created for Triz of @theclinicalhome . . .
Home tour | A Scandi-inspired Victorian renovation in London
I'm always impressed by people who renovate period properties to make them suit their needs, taste and lifestyle, without losing any of their original character in the process. It's a very tricky balance to achieve: buildings need to evolve and adapt in order to survive, but it's important that they retain their soul, too. One person who's managed to do it brilliantly is Emily Mayne, founder of . . .
How to design a lighting scheme that works for you
Along with layout (which I've covered here), lighting is one of the trickiest aspects of interior design - and one I frequently get asked for help with. In fact when I ran an Instagram poll asking which topics people would like to see covered here, lighting was the top choice by a huge margin! Get it right and you'll have a cosy, welcoming and practical space that's a joy to spend time in . . .
Home tour | A beautiful combination of warm wood & cool grey
In the last couple of years grey seems to have largely been replaced by beige as the neutral of choice, but I still think grey interiors can be beautiful - and this home is a stunning example of how to make them work. Located in Saltsjöbaden in the Stockholm Archipelago, it's elegant, timeless and inviting, with a wonderful interplay between warmer and cooler colours and materials . . .
New finds | June 2021
The arrival of June - and summer (hooray!) - means it's time for my regular round-up of new design finds and interesting product launches. Catching my eye this month are stunning art prints, minimalist reed diffusers, beautiful ceramics, a gorgeous table lamp and two classic Danish Modern chairs that are now going into production for 21st-century interiors. Just read on for details... . . .

![[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!
