Winter is almost here and Christmas won't be far behind, so it's time for my annual round-up of the best seasonal scented candles, updated for 2024 to include new discoveries alongside some old favourites. Below are spicy scents inspired by mulled wine and baking, fresh green scents that evoke fir trees and frozen forests, nurturing scents to ground and comfort . . .
The Edit | Nature-inspired Christmas decorations
Halloween is over and November is here, so I’m beginning to think ahead to Christmas - and specifically how to style the house. Although I try to resist putting up any decorations before December, I’ll be using the next few weeks to plan what I’m going to do, gather things together and start savouring the magic and excitement of the season . . .
Tregulland – a large & luxurious house rental in Cornwall
[Advertisement - this post is based on a press stay, but all words and opinions are my own.] I often dream of getting a group of friends and family together for Christmas, a New Year celebration, a big birthday or just a weekend of fun and relaxation. And now I've found the perfect venue for it - Tregulland in northern Cornwall . . .
Minimalist Halloween styling with pick-your-own pumpkins
October is one of my favourite times of the year, and I always enjoy savouring simple, seasonal pleasures: misty walks, cosy evenings with candles, decorating the house for Halloween... And now I have a new autumn tradition to add to the list: pumpkin-picking! I love having pumpkins around the house . . .
New design finds | October 2024
It's time for my regular round-up of new product launches and minimalist design finds, and there's a bit of a theme to this month's selection: the balance between form and function. All the below items encompass practical features or respond to common design problems, without losing any of their aesthetic appeal . . .
Minimalist design in a historic setting – Casa Grande Hotel in La Rioja, Spain
I've already shared a guide to visiting La Rioja - the second stage of my recent 12-day road trip around northern Spain with my friend Becky - but I loved one of the two Rioja hotels that we stayed at so much that I couldn't resist giving it a post of its own. It's called Casa Grande Hotel, and it's perfect for anyone who likes great design, great food and great hospitality . . .

![[AD] A throwback to one of my all-time favourite collaborations, when I got to test out @carlhansenandson's gorgeous 'AH' outdoor furniture collection in my own garden. And the weather is warm enough to sit and dine outside again this week - always a treat this early in the year!
