Moody bathroom inspiration from Menu

Moody bathroom inspiration from Menu | These Four Walls blog

We're just starting to think about redesigning our bathroom, which hasn't had any attention since we bought our house a couple of years ago. As a result, I've spent a lot of this past weekend scouring the web for inspiration, and I couldn't resist sharing some beautiful new images from Menu which I came across in the process. Created to showcase items from Menu's collection, the photos were . . .

Home tour | A house of contrasts near Copenhagen

Home tour - a house of contrasts near Copenhagen | These Four Walls blog

It's time for another home tour and, inspired by the contemporary Suffolk farmhouse which I featured back in January, I've decided to share another beautiful house from Danish design gurus Norm Architects. Set in the seaside town of Vedbæk, to the north of Copenhagen, it was originally built in 1853 and retains many period features, including exposed rafters and a stunning staircase which . . .

Relaxed spring-summer styling from Tina K Home | These Four Walls blog

Today's dose of interiors inspiration comes from Danish designer Tine Kjeldsen of Tine K Home. She's just released details of her spring-summer 2017 collection, and it's a real beauty. Entitled 'Boho', it was inspired by the idea of slowing down, enjoying everyday life and focusing on the things which really matter - a theme that's becoming ever more popular in this turbulent world of ours, and . . .

Snaps from a lovely long weekend in leafy Richmond Snaps from a lovely long weekend in leafy Richmond, West London. I've spent many happy times there over the years as one of my closest friends lives there, but she's about to move house. So, Chris and I made the most of our last visit before she relocates - and the weather was certainly kind to us!

3 & 4.  Old Palace Yard
5-7.  A boat trip down the Thames with @thamesriverboats 
8-14.  Plants, flowers and the most amazing afternoon tea at @petershamnurseries (an early birthday celebration for @small_round_things)

Some photos of the gorgeous @a.__gallery, which I Some photos of the gorgeous @a.__gallery, which I visited on a recent trip to the Netherlands. Isn't it beautiful? Calm, textural and layered, with handmade pieces by an array of independent artists and artisans. 

I've also interviewed Holly, founder of the gallery and interior design studio @avenue.design.studio, on my blog. I've always admired the elegant, timeless spaces she creates, and the way she reflects the architectural context of each setting. I first met her in person last year, when I featured her own home in my book, and I've since worked with her on another exciting project that I can't wait to share soon...

A few snaps from the gorgeous @gubiofficial showro A few snaps from the gorgeous @gubiofficial showroom in London, which I visited during @clerkenwelldesignweek earlier this week. I missed the opening event for this last year, so it was great to finally have a look around in person. The light is stunning, as is GUBI's selection of contemporary and classic designs - including the sculptural and futuristic F300 lounge  chair, first designed by Pierre Paulin in the 1960s and recently relaunched. 

Which room or corner is your favourite...?

Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist Eight years ago today. Carousel posts didn't exist then so I'm using our anniversary as an excuse to share some of my favourite wedding photos.

I have so many happy memories from the day, but what I remember the most is all the laughter. And the funniest best men's (Chris had four!) speech I've ever heard. I wish we'd had a videographer just to capture that.

Anyway, thanks @small_round_things for the last eight years - and for the 13 before we actually got around to tying the knot!
