Adding accent colours to a muted scheme without overpowering it is always tricky, but this three-bedroom corner apartment in Gothenburg is a perfect example of how to do it well. Throughout, it mixes minimal monochrome décor with touches of spring-like blues and greens, creating a space that’s both fresh and calming. The lounge is my favourite room. The mint-green sofa works brilliantly next to . . .
Making a guest room feel special
I've been thinking about bedrooms a lot over the past few days - mostly because a recent bout of flu means I've spent a lot more time in mine than usual! Specifically, I've been thinking about how to make our second bedroom feel special for guests.

Iceland | A beautiful Reykjavik apartment
I’ve spent the past couple of evenings looking through the last of the thousands (yes, thousands!) of photos that I took in Iceland and reminiscing about Reykjavik, the final leg of our trip.

Home tour | A Berlin apartment filled with contrasts
What I love most about this 19th-century Berlin apartment, decorated by interior designer Annabell Kutucu and creative director Michael Schickinger (the duo behind the much-blogged-about San Giorgio Hotel on Mykonos), are the many contrasts it contains. Firstly, there’s a striking constrast between the wall colours used in the various rooms. Some, like the lounge and kitchen, are painted . . .
