I've long been a fan of Swedish brand Design Of. Founded by Johanna Haglund (whose beautiful new-build house I featured last year), it began life in 2014 and makes sleek solid-steel furniture and accessories for the home and garden. Not only are its pieces a minimalist's dream, they're also highly durable and very versatile - the kind of things you can invest in knowing they really will last for . . .
New finds | April 2021
I'm a bit late with this month's round-up of design finds, as I took last week off work to unwind and finish decorating our bedroom. I can't wait to share photos of the completed space soon, but in the meantime I have details of some gorgeous product launches for you. So, read on for beautiful chairs and ceramics, stylish outdoor furniture, innovative modular shelving, and affordable new options . . .
16 of the best portable lamps for indoor & outdoor use
The arrival of spring means many of us are turning our attention towards getting our gardens, balconies and terraces ready for the warmer months - especially as meeting up outdoors is going to be the only way to socialise (here in the UK at least) for a while to come. So, I thought I'd dedicate my latest 'best of' post to portable lamps that you can use outside, move around the house or even take . . .
How to decorate & furnish small spaces
Small spaces can be incredibly tricky, and they're something many of us struggle with - whether we live in a compact home or we have one tiny room that's difficult to get right. It's certainly something I've had to address when renovating my own house, which has a narrow galley-style kitchen and a minuscule bathroom, and it's often why my design clients ask for help . . .
Home tour | A light-filled London house in calm, neutral colours
It's home-tour time again, and today we're taking a peek inside the West London abode of interior stylist Hannah Lines of The Last Detail. Hannah's beautiful house dates from the 1900s and has been given a thorough makeover to turn it into a soothing, clutter-free sanctuary that's awash with natural light. The results are elegant yet wonderfully relaxed . . .
The joy of spring blossom
When I interviewed textile artist Charlotte Wakefield earlier this week, her comments about rediscovering the joy in what you do really struck a chord. I'm lucky to do something I love for a living, whether it's writing, photographing, styling or helping design clients with their homes, but I know just how easy it is to get bogged down in deadlines and expectations . . .

![[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...
