Instead of my normal last-Friday-of-the-month 'Room Envy' post, I have another beautiful home to share with you today – the second London property which I was lucky enough to nose around during last weekend’s event with Function + Form and Houzz (you can see the first one here). Set in a converted school in Hackney, this two-bedroom loft apartment is owned by interior designer Laura Lakin, who . . .
Styling spring flowers with Addition Store
At this time of year I always feel the pull of the great outdoors – I want to be among the blossom, breathing in fresh spring air and enjoying the sudden hint of warmth in the breeze.

It follows on from successful IKEA collaborations with other famous names – including Isla Crawford’s cork-based ‘SINNERLIG’ collection, which caused huge excitement . . .
Home tour | A Swedish apartment with splashes of spring colour

The mint-green sofa works brilliantly next to . . .
