This is a paid partnership with The Lounge Co, but as ever all words and opinions are my own A sofa is one of the largest and most expensive pieces of furniture that most of us will ever buy. It often acts as an anchor point for the whole decorating scheme, and it’s somewhere we spend a lot of our precious downtime. So how do you make sure you choose the right design? I’ve teamed up with . . .
Home tour | A sleek Stockholm apartment
I shared a photo of the striking kitchen-diner in this beautiful Swedish home in last week's splashbacks post, and I liked it so much that I couldn't resist hunting down images of the rest of the apartment via real-estate agency Fantastic Frank. Set in a 19th-century building, it's painted in moody shades of grey and mixes clean-lined, contemporary furniture with a sprinkling of quirkier pieces. . . .
How to make kokedama plant sculptures
Last weekend I hopped on the train and headed over to Bath for a kokedama-making workshop at Anthropologie, led by talented floral designer and gardener Jessica Smith. It was a wonderful morning, full of relaxed chatter and therapeutic mess-making with plenty of soil and moss. You might have seen kodedama plant sculptures popping up all over Pinterest in recent months. A variant of bonsai, they . . .
New designs from Muuto
Another week, another set of beautiful new products from Scandinavia. The latest come courtesy of Muuto, which has been responsible for some of the most iconic Nordic designs of recent years (the 'RESTORE' storage basket, the 'OSLO' chair). I suspect there are several future classics among its latest additions, so here's a look at a few of my favourites… . . .
Six ideas for kitchen splashbacks
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Creoglass, but all words and opinions are my own] When we decorated our kitchen we decided against installing splashbacks – we wanted a minimalist look, and we’d seen plenty of beautiful examples of splashback-less schemes on Pinterest. A few months down the line, we’re beginning to regret our choice: the walls are already covered in marks . . .
Autumn-winter 2016 collection from Ferm Living
Following on from Friday's round-up of the latest product launches, I have another new-season collection to share with you today.

![[AD - PR product] I'm getting in the mood for my trip to the Norwegian Arctic on Thursday with 'Skydance' by @aulilondon - a scented candle inspired by the ethereal magic of the Northern Lights. With layers of pine, Siberian fir, cedarwood and iris, it's delicate, fresh, uplifting and gently mysterious - it somehow really does capture the wonder of the Aurora.
I've been lucky enough to see the Northern Lights a few times before, in Iceland and Finnish Lapland (pictured). I'm keeping everything crossed they make an appearance in Norway, especially as the friend I'm travelling with has never seen them, despite living in Sweden for several years! The weather forecast isn't looking too promising at the moment though...
