According to Pinterest, at-home coffee stations and coffee bar styling are top trends for 2024. It seems we all want to be a barista at home and elevate that most simplest of moments – making ourselves that first, much-needed cup of the day. I’m a bit of a coffee addict and I can’t do anything before having a cup of coffee, not even a shower (and please don’t even try to talk to me…). I have a big bean-to-cup machine, which I adore, but it’s not the most elegant thing in the world. Without the space for a full utility room, I wanted to create a small pantry-like cupboard where I could hide awa ..read more

The seaside town of Margate on the north coast of Kent in England has been attracting holidaymakers and daytrippers from London since the 18th century. Wealthy Georgians visitors, and later well-to-do Victorians, would descend on the coastal resort, looking to reap the health benefits of bathing in seawater. Purpose-built modesty bathing machines and donkey rides were popular sights on the sandy beach front, the town even boasting the world’s first sea-bathing hospital. Now, out-of-towners hop off the hour and a half train from London, not so much for the sea air, but for the vibrant, gritty m ..read more

This neutral Copenhagen home has calm in abundance, from the soft, buttery beige walls and light-filled rooms to the warm wooden details and minimalist styling. It’s the latest interior project from Ask og Eng, a Norwegian architecture and design studio based between Drammen and Mallorca, who for the occasion of 3 Days of Design opened the space up to the public. It was a unique opportunity to see inside a real Danish home, while providing the perfect canvas to show off their handmade bamboo kitchen and furniture. Let’s have a look inside!

Everyone knows Hans J. Wegner’s Wishbone chair – an iconic Danish design that was first created in 1950. The chair, designed for furniture manufacturer Carl Hansen & Søn, is instantly recognisable for its Y-shaped back and tactile, hand woven paper cord seat. I have a matte green one at my dining table and it’s my pride and joy – not to mention the comfiest seat around the table. The sweeping curve of the back just seems to hug the body, while creating a beautiful, sculptural silhouette. It’s no wonder it’s remained enduringly popular over the past (almost) 75 years. Now the design has bee ..read more

There are many pockets of calm to be found in Kyoto, from Japanese zen gardens and Buddhist shrines to quaint backstreets and tiny urban gardens glimpsed through slatted screens. None will restore you back to yourself quite like Maana Homes. With three properties dotted across the city, they offer a series of luxury, sanctuary-like spaces that will soothe your senses and help ease your mind. After just one night in Maana Kiyomizu, I felt so rested and at home that I hardly wanted to leave and step back into the real world. It’s the kind of place that will almost force you to slow down and take ..read more
