I'm continuing my round-up of highlights from 3 Days of Design with a look at two brands that embody the concept of 'Japandi' - that is, a fusion between Japanese and Scandinavian style. There's a clear affinity between Japanese and Scandinavian design, with both sharing a focus on clean lines, natural materials and balancing form and function . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2023 | Hotel Normann
Happy Monday everyone! I'm starting the week by sharing another favourite from 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen, and it's an exhibition that's due to remain open for another few months for those who didn't get to visit during the festival. Called 'Hotel Normann', it sees the city-centre HQ of Normann Copenhagen transformed into an immersive showcase that resembles a real-life hotel, and it's . . .
Top tips for a city break in Porto
My recent road trip through Portugal with a friend ended with a fabulous 48 hours in Porto. This was actually my third time in the country's beautiful, beguiling second city (I've also been there for work and with my husband), so I've decided to combine tips from all my visits into one comprehensive, updated Porto travel guide . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2023 | Audo Copenhagen
I have more from my visit to 3 Days of Design for you today: the debut of Audo Copenhagen, which was born out of the recent merger of existing brands Menu and by Lassen. A new name in Danish design, Audo Copenhagen brings together Menu's range of furniture, lighting and accessories with by Lassen's stable of Scandinavian classics. It's housed at the former's HQ, hotel, cafe and concept store . . .
Highlights of 3 Days of Design 2023 | The &Tradition showroom
If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen that I spent last week in Copenhagen enjoying 3 Days of Design - an annual festival that sees showrooms and studios across the Danish capital open their doors to the public for exhibitions, talks, workshops and tours. It's always a fun (if exhausting) few days, and I generally come back brimming with ideas and inspiration. I'll be sharing some of my . . .
A 10-day road trip through Portugal
Every year my friend Becky and I head off on a travel adventure together, and over the past two decades we've been all over the world - from far-flung places such as Argentina and Brazil to closer-to-home destinations like Northumberland and Antwerp. This time around, we decided to explore a country that has become a favourite for both of us, embarking on a 10-day road trip almost all the way . . .
Profile | Cassandra Ellis of Atelier Ellis
I've admired natural paint company Atelier Ellis ever since it started life back in 2018. Not only are its emulsions handmade and virtually VOC-free, they're also beautifully evocative with poetic names that speak of founder Cassandra Ellis' unique approach to colour. Her aim of helping people to 'create the perfect backdrop for the way they wish to live' has always resonated with me . . .

[Advertisement - this post is based on a press stay, but all words and opinions are my own] Sometimes, I'm lucky enough to stay at places that weave their way into my soul.

Three stylish schemes for small outdoor spaces
[Advertisement - this is a paid partnership with Nest.co.uk] A small outdoor space doesn't mean you can't enjoy alfresco living, and with a bit of thought it's possible to turn even the tiniest of gardens into something beautiful and usable. To give you some inspiration, I've teamed up with independent design retailer Nest.co.uk to put together three looks using pieces from its extensive . . .
The ‘CH004’ nesting tables – versatile space-saving design from Carl Hansen & Søn
[Advertisement – this is a paid partnership with Carl Hansen & Søn. All words and opinions are my own] I've always considered nesting tables to be a bit old-fashioned - the kind of thing my grandparents had in their living rooms, normally sporting overly ornate legs and some kind of decorative leather top. They've definitely dropped out of popularity in recent decades, but as our homes . . .
