I love popping down to the pretty Somerset town of Bruton, which has become something of a creative enclave in recent years. It’s home to stunning hotel and restaurant At the Chapel and international gallery Hauser & Wirth, and now it has a rather special lifestyle store to mooch around, too.

Summer postcards from Stockholm
Well, after trips to Copenhagen, Oslo and Sweden, my ‘Summer of Scandinavian Adventures’ has sadly come to an end. We flew back from Stockholm last Friday after a fantastic week staying with friends in the city centre and then pootling around the archipelago that spreads out to its east.

So, when I spotted this . . .
Hotel SP34 | Copenhagen
Following last week’s top tips from Copenhagen (one of my all-time favourite cities), I want to share a few snaps of the beautifully designed hotel we stayed at during our recent trip: SP34. This place is packed with eye-candy for anyone interested in interiors: art-filled communal areas, mid-century classics throughout, and a few chic industrial touches (polished concrete, exposed pipework, . . .
