The long Easter weekend is a great opportunity to start getting your garden ready for summer, especially with the weather forecast looking as promising as it does at the moment. For me, the most inviting and useable gardens are those which work like outdoor rooms, with places to dine, unwind and gather with family and friends, and as always I tend to be drawn towards simple, understated and . . .
Home tour | A converted stable block in Copenhagen
I'm always drawn to spaces which have been adapted to suit modern living without losing any of their original character, and the subject of my latest home-tour post certainly fits the bill. One of central Copenhagen's few preserved villas, it was built in 1878 and was once a stable block for the horses that carried water from the city's lakes. The elegant 19th-century facade has been protected, . . .
A minimalist kitchen makeover on a budget | Mood board & plans
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned briefly that we're about to give our kitchen a makeover, so today I want to share more about our plans and the thinking behind them. We inherited our current kitchen when we bought the house in 2014, and apart from adding a row of pendant lights and some open shelving, we haven't done anything else to it since we moved in. There's nothing particularly wrong . . .
Focus on: Georg Jensen’s ‘HK’ pitcher
[Advertisement - this post references a gifted item and a press trip, but all words and opinions are my own] Today I'm continuing my series exploring the history behind iconic pieces with a look at an item that's often considered a landmark of Danish design: Henning Koppel's elegant 'HK' pitcher, created for Georg Jensen back in 1952 and still in production 67 years later. . . .

Home tour | A minimalist apartment in Vancouver
Today we're heading over to Vancouver for a look around an apartment which exemplifies minimalist Scandinavian style. It's the home of Kevin Chen, whose blog, Nordic Entrance, and associated Instagram feed always inspire with their beautiful imagery and useful design tips. Kevin's grey and white decor is my idea of interiors perfection - calm, considered and uncluttered, with lots of texture . . .

![[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!
