As chilly weather begins to tighten its grip, I’ve been browsing the net for examples of homes to hole up in over winter and I came across this gorgeous Gothenburg pad. It’s relaxed and homely, with plenty of interesting colours and textures that add cosiness and warmth. The blanket-laden sofa looks ideal for dark evenings curled up with a book, the dining table perfect for sociable candlelit . . .
Urban Jungle Bloggers | A plant ‘shelfie’
I do love a shelfie. They give such a fascinating insight into how people arrange their spaces and what objects they value, and I’m always trawling Pinterest for styling ideas. So when this month’s Urban Jungle Bloggers challenge – a ‘plant shelfie’ – dropped into my inbox, I was rather happy.

The Somerset Levels, the Cotswolds and the Mendip Hills are all nearby, but perhaps my favourite spot of all is Clevedon Pier, just a short drive away on the coast. It was here that we headed last Sunday for a breath of autumnal sea air, and I . . .
Decadent Danish design from AYTM
As you may have guessed, I have a bit of an obsession with Scandinavian design. I love its sleek simplicity, its timeless lines and its blend of form and function, and I always get excited when I find a new Nordic brand to lust over.
