We are almost there! Just a few more weeks left until our alcoves will be installed and I can finally pick the finishing touches for our fireplace room. This has been the longest reno ever but looking back at the progress it has been well worth it. I’ve had to make some adjustments to my original plan which is something…

Home gym is a game-changer, at least for me! I’m someone who finds going to the gym a bit of a chore. I get bored with gyms very quickly and will find excuses not to go, or tell myself won’t have time to squeeze it in. Having a home gym eliminates all the excuses and lack of time and effort.…

* In partnership with Domkapa. A new year means, a new collection and Domkapa’s 2024 collection has been highly anticipated. Since interviewing their talented design team last year, I knew something special was coming. After months of preparations, the Portuguese upholstery brand launched its 2024 collection at the prestigious Maison & Objet in Paris last month. I didn’t think they could…

* In partnership with Coco & Henry. If you’ve been reading my blog, you’ll know how much I love coloured glass at the moment. It’s a huge trend right now, from lighting pendants to glassware, especially in subtle, earthy tones. The thing is, coloured (or stained) glass has always played a big part in Nordic design. I remember being surrounded by…

Instead of January blues, I am going to fully embrace the winter hibernation mode this year. I’m not normally a big fan of January, but this time it feels different. I feel excited about the new year and all the opportunities that come with it. Especially now that I have some new homeware additions (thank you Santa!). January is the…

Our fireplace room reno is not finished yet but I wanted to give a little update before closing the chapter on 2023. I never thought this room makeover would take this long. In hindsight, it was a little naive to think it would be all done within a year. This is the biggest reno we’ve done in this house so…

I don’t think I’ve ever done a proper Christmas home tour since moving into this house, so here we go! We usually put up the decorations in late November to enjoy them as long as possible. I’ve been collecting our Christmas decorations for years now. There is no theme or specific colour, but I do like more subtle decorations that…

Who doesn’t love staying in a beautifully designed hotel room? I have been lucky enough to have been to quite a few in the UK and abroad. Design is high on my wishlist when booking a little getaway but it’s not all about design by any means. Location, service and food (yes, I’m a foodie!) are also important. As a…

It’s October which of course means it’s Decorex time. Every year I make my way to the design event of the year in London to gain inspiration, discover new brands and network with the interiors community. It was the warmest I recall in October as I made my way to Olympia London in my summer dress and sandals (I usually…
