Scandinavian DIYs and home decor ideas
Christmas has a habit of creeping up on us each year. So this year I thought I’d get ahead by sharing some beautiful Christmas decorations so you have plenty of time to get them, if you want. I’ve picked out a range of beautiful Christmas decorations all in earthy tones inspired by nature — including…
Minimalist decor means different things to different people and is often misinterpreted as spaces that feel cold or sterile. But the reality is quite different because when done right, minimalist homes can and should be warm, welcoming and unique to you. I like to think of warm minimalism as having a curated home where everything…
I have way too many vases. While my collection is large, I recently realised that they’re mostly glass vases and I’ve been wanting a few ceramic vases to add to my collection. Ceramics add texture and interest to displays and while there’s nothing wrong with glass, I just had too many of them. Rather than…
(Gifted Campaign) My favourite room in my home is my kitchen and my favourite feature in the kitchen is my sliding patio doors that stretch across the entire back wall of the kitchen. They measure nearly 6m / 20 ft so they’re big and allow all the light in. As wonderful as that is, it’s…
With Halloween approaching, I have a fun little DIY idea for you — these cute DIY ghost bookmarks. I read a lot so I’m always in need of bookmarks and this time I got inspired by the upcoming holiday. Though inspired by Halloween, there’s nothing creepy here, just cute little ghosts! I’ve made these as…

The decor is simple and intentional. I can imagine stepping into this home and feeling at ease at once. This Swedish home shows how…
I’ve been through several home renovations and most of them have involved small and even tiny kitchens. Over the years I’ve learned how to make the most of the space so that the kitchen is both practical and stylish. Kitchens are the hardest working rooms in a home and even when they’re tiny, they need…
Daybeds can feel like an indulgence or a piece of furniture that’s a luxury rather than a necessity. But daybeds are actually very useful pieces and offer a lot of flexibility too. Firstly daybeds are visually considerably less bulky than sofas and so can be used as extra seating in small living rooms. They can…
For the latest home tour, I’m sharing a house near Copenhagen in Denmark that has been designed with sustainability and affordability in mind. The materials chosen for the home as well as the layout are specifically designed to keep costs down as well as to keep energy costs low, but the result is a spacious,…
When it comes to decorating a home, chances are most of us pay very little attention to the style and colour of the radiators. Radiators are treated as purely functional and seen as an eye-sore by so many of us. The good news is that they don’t have to be because you can make radiators…
