Wegner: the CH25 chair . . .
Our experience of fitting wooden flooring ourselves
[Advertisement - this post is a collaboration with Quick-Step but, as always, words and opinions are my own] One of the biggest decisions when renovating the upstairs of our house was flooring. We'd already redone most of the ground floor, but the bedrooms were still covered in the old brown carpet that was here when we bought the property in 2014 . . .

New finds | May 2021

So, grab a cuppa, settle back and read on for details of minimalist kitchens, sustainable fabrics, stunning tableware, . . .

How to decorate & furnish large spaces
Last month I shared some advice on how to decorate and furnish small spaces, and today I'm turning my attention to large rooms. If anything, they're even trickier to deal with - especially if you have an open-plan space which has to play several different roles at once.

![[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!
