Many of you have probably heard of furoshiki — a traditional Japanese wrapping cloth used to wrap gifts — which is what has inspired this fabric gift wrapping idea. While you can buy Japanese furoshiki cloths, you can really use any cloth you have or like. My preference is to use linen as it’s simple…
Window coverings are a design detail that can transform a room. Choosing the right window covering for your room and decor style is so important. If you’re going for a soft minimalist look, this becomes even more important because the wrong window dressing can make an otherwise minimalist space look busy or cluttered. While I’ve…

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…

For the latest home tour, I’ve got this calm and soothing Scandinavian home. It’s decorated entirely in pale grey and white with a few decorative accents for a hint of colour. The decor is simple and intentional. I can imagine stepping into this home and feeling at ease at once. This Swedish home shows how…
