Fill your home with positivity

As things like meditation and mindfulness become more popular, and with mental health steadily in focus, designers are now looking to see how best to harness the power of positivity and implement that into our homes through interior design. The good news is that there are actually many ways in which we can all do this, and the easiest is with positivity statement prints and feel-good artwork. Whether you live on your own, with friends or with your family, a positive home is a

Room reveal: My home office

If you go through the blog archive you'll see that this blog really took off in 2015. As I started to invest more time on the blog, at some point I decided that I didn't want to spend more time with a laptop on the sofa. There were plenty of rooms to use in our house and we definitely had enough furniture lying around to make a new home office from scratch without investing in anything new. Around January 2015, murals company Surface View was running a competition to win one

Desk lamps for the design conscious

Before I got my current desk lamps (scroll down to find out more) I spent a good few days researching online what are the "it" desk lamps right now as I wanted something that would be fancy from a design perspective without however breaking the bank. It turned out that with a bit of shopping around you can find the same product for less, so here's a quick guide on the most fashionable desk lamps and how to get them for less! 1. MUUTO WOOD TABLE LAMP A modern design from TAF A

Fabulous looking work spaces

Having an organised and stylish work space is important to me. It keeps me first of all motivated and happy. Less time frustrated about lost files and more time to work. It also means I can finish jobs quicker. And when your home-office is really your main office, even more important to treat it like you would a proper work space when working, say, in a company. You know, clean desk policy, everything filed after you've used it and so on. Photo: The set of "The Intern", the 2

Tribute: The Anglepoise Mini 75

There were so many photo opportunities and so many tweets about this lamp that it only made sense to turn them into a post. I would also love to give you some background about how I came to choose these desk lamps over other and share a good tip for getting them just a tiny bit cheaper. To start with, what is now 6 months ago, I took Surface View's creative challenge and set about transforming a first floor room that was being used as a home office for my better half (BH). No

Room tour - Stunningly Restored desk

Last week I set out to replace the existing desk in the new office for my better half, having first painted his room top to bottom in Farrow & Ball railings. More about that in a different post (to come). The existing setting was a glass top desk (the remains of a John Lweis glasstop and pedestal desk, where one of the pedestals had broken off during a move) with IKEA legs (I think, but can no longer be sure). The legs were black and I had just painted them gold to check if t
