I’VE GONE back and forth between English countryside style and minimalist neutrals lately, and after a quick fling with the former again, I’m firmly back to the latter, having discovered this ultra-chic home, known as Herenhuis in ‘t Gooi (Mansion in the Gooi) on Instagram. If you’re not familiar with neighbourhoods in the Netherlands, the Gooi is an area around Hilversum, in the centre of the country. It is a slightly hilly area characterised by green landscapes, historical charm, villas, and is also known as home to the rich and famous.
THREE YEARS ago, we featured the country home of photographer Laura Muthesius and stylist Nora Eisermann, both from the blog, Our Food Stories. It was a cosy mid-century kitchen that overlooked the ocean in the Skåne area of the Swedish countryside. This home is a former schoolhouse located in a village north-east of Berlin that has been in Laura's family since she was a child.
WHEN DESIGNING your kitchen, you might not necessarily think about artwork first, but if you did, you would be surprised how well it works in this space. Many people opt for food-inspired themes such as fruit (lemons, apples) or Still Lifes, but Landscapes, Watercolours, and even Figurative drawings also work. We've rounded up a few of our favourite ways to display art in the kitchen, whether leaning on countertops or picture rails, hanging on subway tile and marble backsplashes, exposed brick and boiserie...
This instalment of Things We Lovely Lately includes, as always, a collection of beautiful finds from our travels around the internets, including this stunningly serene upstairs bedroom, above, in the home of Rose Uniacke; the most artfully created paper flowers by two British paper flower artists; this season's favourite ad campaigns featuring Emily Ratajkowski for Miu and Miu and Ryan Gosling for Gucci and more⏤here's what has been inspiring us lately ...

IT'S THE FIRST of March after a long winter and the sun is streaming through the windows. The brighter mornings and longer days are calling us outdoors, even as we type away at our keyboards. The sounds of cars driving by, people rushing along to shops and appointments, and it feels like a new beginning ...
THIS INSTALMENT OF 10 IMAGES features the quietly chic photos of Juliane Diesner (@styleshiver) There are coffees in Parisian restaurants and velvet chairs in pools of light, drinks on the beach, a ride on the Orient Express, and plates of spaghetti alle vongole. The photos are strangely nostalgic, evocative of times gone by ...
WE HAVE BEEN collecting things we like for the past little while and realised that they all looking lovely together and have a sort of running theme: neutral tones and cosiness, soft light and a kind of wintery feel. There are chunky knits with long cashmere scarves, comfy chairs and coffee table books; slipcovered sofas and quilted handbags, warm wood and winter whites ...
BEIJING-BORN Savi of @savislook's home was first featured here in our piece on the Camaleonda Sofa by Mario Bellini. The Weibo and YouTube influencer often gives glimpses of her home on her Instagram page and its filled with old-school vibes: 50s farmhouse meets mid-century modern with a nod to the 70s by way of an orange striped shag rug ...

Earlier this year, two men launched a podcast made up of meandering conversations about their friendship and the state of the world. Nothing unusual there. Of the two million or so podcast series in existence (that’s 48m episodes and counting), a large proportion is made up of groups of men talking about themselves and laughing at their own jokes.
Over the course of the past year, our social media streams began to change. The endless photos of trips to far-flung places like Japan and Australia, and influencer favourites like Bali and Santorini slowly gave way to quarantine home scenes. Quiet lockdown moments of living room cocktails and freshly baked loaves of Dutch oven bread, solitary sofa scenes of open laptops and Netflix streams ...
JANUARY IS A funny time: on the one hand, we're drawn to all-white and minimalistic interiors for the clean slate that they represent, and on the other, it's such a dreary month that anything colourful instantly lifts our mood and brightens these long dark winter days.
We happened upon the lovely home office of Atlanta-based blogger Kristin Jackson quite by accident, and immediately fell in love with all of the wonderful details in the room: the architectural elements and lucite, the skirted table and leopard print. But by far our favourite part was what we thought were wood built-in shelving that turned out to be freestanding bourbon cabinets.
THIS WEEK’S Blogger Style features the utterly charming Instagram photos of Lovisa Barkman (@lovisabarkman). Based in Stockholm, Sweden, Barkman's life in pictures includes chunky knits on a sandy beach and a tiny puppy in a wicker handbag ...
