Scandinavian DIYs and home decor ideas
Fitting a family of four into a one bedroom apartment is challenging enough. To do that while injecting style and keeping clutter at bay is nothing short of miraculous! Todays home tour is just that — a masterclass in maximising a small space to make it functional and beautiful for a family of four. This…
I recently shared my back garden makeover and while it’s mostly done, there is one thing missing — a comfy lounging area. The reason I don’t have a comfy space to sit and relax is simply due to budget. But this year I’m hoping to create a lounging area and before I rush out to…
When we bought our home we knew it was in need of a complete renovation — the place hadn’t been decorated since the late 1970’s and it had been lying empty for quite a while before we bought it. With limited budgets we knew it wasn’t going to be possible to do everything in one…
I never truly realised just how useful portable lamps are until I bought one. Portable lamps are so versatile because they can be placed practically anywhere. If you have a dark corner where cables can’t reach or a table without a nearby socket, a portable lamp is the easy answer. So I thought I would share…
I often share new decor and design finds that catch my eye and this is one new collection you need to know about because it seriously delivers exceptional value and great design. H&M has long been one of my go-to’s for stylish Scandinavian design at affordable prices. But this new collection shocked me with their…
The best part of Easter for me is all the egg decorating opportunities it brings. Eggs have such a simple and beautiful shape and once you decorate them, they look even more special.

The home has been decorated in natural materials…
I’ve been wanting an urn style vase for a while but they can be pretty pricey. I then stumbled across this one online for £12 and promptly ordered it. When it arrived, I loved the shape but wasn’t crazy about the colour and the overall look — it looked better in pics than in real…
Who doesn’t love an IKEA hack? I love them. Some IKEA hacks take time and effort but others are as quick and easy as a paint job. I have just one of these hacks for you today. I’d been wanting a black framed wall mirror for my bedroom but each one I liked was way…
Much like their interior spaces, the Scandis create cosy, inviting and comfortable outdoor spaces, even in the smallest balcony or patio. They use the same design ideas outdoors as they do indoors which results in a space that is both functional and stylish. Your outdoor space, whether a tiny patio or a large garden, is…
Beds are the single biggest piece of furniture in a bedroom, so they instantly become the focal point of any bedroom. Even more importantly, they’re where you sleep, and we all know how important sleep is. Research suggests that the average person spends 26 years sleeping (that’s a lot of sleeping!) so it’s important to…
