This apartment, situated in Stockholm, Sweden, is so simple yet so cosy and calming. It’s decorated mostly in soft grey shades with dark wood furniture accents throughout. The contrast of the pale grey and the dark wood is striking and shows how well warm and cool tones can work together. Aside from the colour scheme,…
If you love your neutrals, you can’t go wrong with any shade you choose, whether that’s white, beige or grey. But sometimes these colours can look a little lacking on their own. While there are many colours that can complement neutrals, there’s one thats really standing out for me right now — warm and earthy…
There is something special about a timeless colour palette that will always look of the moment. In other words, one that will never date or go out of fashion and is very aesthetically pleasing too. That colour palette is black, white and wood. It’s true that all neutrals are timeless whether that’s beige, grey or…
This is such a simple DIY Christmas table decoration but it still looks so pretty and festive. Once made, you can display it anywhere you want a festive touch. You can use it as a table centrepiece for your main Christmas meal or display it on any tabletop or shelf. You can also display it…

Every year I like to make at least one Christmas decoration and this year I decided to make these DIY toadstool ornaments. I especially like making decorations that can be used in different ways and that’s exactly why I made these toadstools ornaments. While they can definitely be used as tree ornaments, they can be…
I believe in giving thoughtful Christmas gifts, rather than expensive ones. Of course pricey gifts can be thoughtful too but I also know that you don’t have to spend a packet to give a gift that will be appreciated. With that in mind, I’ve picked out 25 thoughtful Christmas gifts that cost £25 or less….
Making a wreath is probably my favourite Christmas craft. This year, instead of greenery I decided to use some star anise to make my wreath and I love how it turned out. This little spice looks so pretty with its imperfect star shape and it’s deep reddy-orangey brown colour. And best of all — this…
Christmas has a bad habit of creeping up on us every year! Each year I say I’ll be more organised but it never happens. But I have put together my annual Christmas gift guide with plenty of time for you to shop anything you like. Last years gifts guide was really popular so I hope…
