    The last few months have been extremely unusual for most of us. Being locked up in our homes with sometimes nothing and at other times too much to do. I missed meeting friends yet enjoyed my time with family. I

    Dining lights have a tough job. They need to make Dining lights have a tough job.

They need to make the food look good, the table feel inviting, and somehow avoid becoming the only thing anyone notices.

A few things we look for:

• The right scale for the table
• Light that feels warm, not interrogation-room bright
• A shape that adds personality without stealing the show
• Something worth looking at even when it’s switched off

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

The biggest change here? We flipped the bed placement entirely.

Before:
• the bed blocked movement and made the room feel tighter
• bulky furniture + dark curtains made the space feel heavier than it was

After:
• the new bed position opened up the layout
• a full-height wardrobe streamlined the storage
• soft neutrals + layered textures made the room feel calmer and brighter
• wall lights freed up bedside space and added a boutique-hotel vibe

Sometimes the smartest design move isn’t adding more.
It’s simply rethinking the plan.

    A dressing corner designed for a teenager who want A dressing corner designed for a teenager who wanted her room to feel soft, calm, and just a little bit Pinterest-worthy 💗

This nook was designed to do a little bit of everything:
• dressing table + window seat
• soft curves to keep the space feeling playful
• an arched mirror to visually open up the corner
• warm lighting that feels dreamy at night
• and layered blush tones because apparently “just one pink” was not enough 😄

    Headboards are basically the eyebrows of a bedroom Headboards are basically the eyebrows of a bedroom. 

They do three main jobs:

• Stop pillows from escaping
• Give you something to lean on during late-night scrolling
• Make the bed look far more put together than it probably is

From upholstered panels to warm wood details and everything in between, headboards quietly set the tone for the entire room.

These are our favourites. Which one is yours?

    Soft neutrals, layered textures, and one chair tha Soft neutrals, layered textures, and one chair that quietly steals the spotlight 🤍

This living room was designed to feel calm without feeling flat:
• textural fabrics instead of loud contrasts
• curved seating to soften all the straight architectural lines
• sheer curtains that let the daylight do most of the work
• warm wood tones to balance the creamy palette
• and subtle patterns that reveal themselves slowly

From drying rack zone to “just five more minutes with my coffee” zone ☕🌿

This narrow balcony needed to work harder without feeling crowded.
So we kept the layout light and simple:

• a swing chair for lazy evenings and long phone calls
• compact side table for coffee/books/snacks/random life admin
• layered plants to soften all the concrete around

Coz we think even the skinniest balconies can become the favourite corner of the house.

    A study corner that doesn’t scream corporate cubic A study corner that doesn’t scream corporate cubicle energy 📚

We kept this setup simple, warm, and quietly functional:
• a compact solid wood desk with slim tapered legs
• an upholstered chair comfortable enough for long reading sessions
• open shelving for books, keepsakes, and the “I’ll read this next” pile
• soft natural light filtering through sheer curtains
• and just enough greenery to make deadlines feel slightly less dramatic

    This living-dining space was designed around one s This living-dining space was designed around one simple idea — calm, comfortable, and easy to live in.

A soft neutral palette, warm wood tones, layered textures, and lighting that keeps the mood relaxed from morning to late evening ✨

A few details we particularly love:
• the sculptural pendant lights anchoring the dining space
• grey marble flooring adding depth without overpowering the room
• curved dining chairs softening all the straight lines
• and the mix of wood, fabric, metal, and muted prints keeping the palette quiet but never flat
