I'm starting the week - and the new month - with a look at the latest pieces from Danish favourite Menu. Details of its new additions have just been released and there's plenty of gorgeous furniture and lighting, including wall and floor lamps for its Japanese-inspired 'Hashima' lighting series and a sand-coloured Kunis Breccia option for its ever-popular 'Plinth' family . . .
Carl Hansen & Søn’s ‘Plico’ chair styled two ways
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership, but all words and opinions are my own] I've always had a thing for considered statement chairs - the kind of pieces that instantly catch your eye, but don't overwhelm the space they're in. Carl Hansen & Søn has been responsible for many of my favourites over the years (the CH25, the 'Wishbone', the 'Shell') and now they've done it again with . . .
Lighting you can take anywhere: the ‘Kizu’ portable lamp from New Works
[Advertisement - this post features a PR product] Portable lamps are such useful things to have around the home, especially if you have gloomy corners where cables won’t stretch, or if you want an alternative to harsh overhead lights in socket-less spaces such as bathrooms. I put together a round-up of some of my favourites last year and now there's another beauty to add to the list . . .
The Vipp Pencil Case – a serene guest suite in Copenhagen
Over the past few years Danish homeware brand Vipp has launched a series of bookable accommodation options, dubbed the 'Vipp Hotels', across Denmark and southern Sweden. I've loved the look of every single one and the fifth, which has just opened in Copenhagen, is no exception. Located in the former industrial area of Islands Brygge, just across a bridge from the city centre, the ground-floor . . .
The Edit | Spring cleaning
After a bit of a break I'm restarting 'The Edit', my regular series sharing curated selections of items to help you make the most of simple, relaxed moments at home and beyond. And my focus this month is spring cleaning. I never relish the prospect of a big clean, but once I get going I always find there's something very cathartic about it . . .
Holloways of Ludlow – a new design destination in the heart of Bath
[AD - this post is based on a PR event] The beautiful city of Bath has been developing an increasingly strong interiors and design scene in recent years, with various galleries, studios and boutiques opening their doors. I'm lucky that it's only a short hop by train from my home in neighbouring Bristol, and I often head there for a bit of shopping or to pick up some inspiration. And now . . .

![[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...

![[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!
