One of the reasons I'm drawn to Scandinavian design is its timeless appeal. Rather than slavishly following the latest trends, it's often intended to last for decades and even be passed down through the generations. In fact many of the most popular Scandinavian pieces were created back in the 1950s and 60s, but they're just as relevant today as when they were first launched. Few brands embody . . .
Home tour | An elegant, calming house in London
I've always believed that good interior design is as much about wellbeing as aesthetics - after all, decor can have a huge impact on our health and mood, and the feel of a space is just as important as the way it looks.
