Directional Wall Light

11th April 2015

AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS

You know me and a directional wall light... I have seen this one a few times and, while I had somehow always assumed that the wall lights in the loft would be black, I'm now coming round to the idea of white ones. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the room looks

Black and White Plates from Broste Copenhagen

I am not, on the whole, a patterned plate kind of person (not averse to a little alliteration however). It's all a bit too afternoon

New Store Discovery: LOVEThESIGN.com

My spot organiser £99 There is literally nothing I like more than fantasy shopping. Oh no wait, real shopping obv...but closely followed by a bit

Ten Beautiful Rooms from The Monochrome Home

A slight change of tack this week as I'm delighted to be able to bring you pictures from the latest book by one of my

Happy Easter from the HAM Bunny

It's become a bit of an annual tradition to show you my favourite bunny at Easter and designer Jo Robinson has kindly obliged with a

AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS

As it's the bank holiday weekend and many of you will be out and about rather than stuck to your screens (and that includes me) I thought we would use today to revisit some of the best rooms for sale so far this year. image by nic granleese How often do you find that there's

Luxecyled Furniture

The buzzword in interiors at the moment is bespoke. We can't afford to have everything made to measure but sprinkled among the flatpack, the vintage,

Art Deco Drinks Trolley

As this is a week of updates and refreshes, I wanted to revisit this trolley. I think it might be my favourite piece so far

Farrow and Ball Colours for 2015

Tanner's Brown, with Oval Room Blue and Dead Salmon Now that Spring is officially sprung, I thought we could return to these colours which might

Decorum Shop Delights

I do love a bit of leather attached to a house accessory. Chopping boards with leather handles, mirrors with leather straps, you name it. Usually

Wire Lampshade

28th March 2015

AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS

Lovers of industrial chic will like these although actually I think they could go anywhere. I keep being drawn back to them and I think it's because although I know they're made of wire mesh they look like knitting or crochet. You imagine that they're going to be incredibly soft to the touch and that

BHS Ceiling Lighting

It's not secret that many interior designers source their lights from Bhs. However, it's a huge department and there's a lot to sort through before

BLOC Sofa by Hopper and Space

Ladies and Gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to BLOC, a sofa made in the UK by my good friends Hopper and

Skultana: Swedish Brass and Silver

Skultana is a Scandinavian shop - Swedish to be precise - and it sells nothing but brass and silverware. Is this perhaps the best shop

Mid Century Modern Sofas and Chairs

Now I'll be honest here, I have been a bit reluctant to join in the general stampede of adulation for everything that is mid-century modern.

Plug-in Wall Light

21st March 2015

AD / MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS

This is one of those ideas that is so simple I can't think why there aren't more of them about. Wall lights, of which you all know I am a fan, usually need to come with an electrician attached and can be quite a big deal to install. Even the ones that plug in usually

The Househunter 20/3/15

From the outside this looks like a sweet little cottage doesn't it. Can you picture the inside? Low ceilings, neutral carpet (to maximise the light)

Brass Mirror

I love rooms with mirrors and pictures propped up against the wall. It creates a wonderful artist atelier kind of vibe and also means that

Get The London Look

It may have escaped your notice as I've only mentioned it a couple (of thousand) times but plans to convert the loft are gaining momentum.

Mad About Your House

It has been a great start to the year for Mad About Your House. I have been everywhere from 1960s single storey houses to newly
