Have a puzzle mindset—really resonated. It goes something like this: Rather than viewing the problems we face in the world (either individually or collectively) as crises, which can cause us to feel despair, seeing them—whether financial, environmental, health-related, or political—as puzzles can help us to think about new approaches to solving them...
A NEW YEAR, a fresh start—and storage, office spaces, and other reoganising projects seem to be on everyone’s minds this January. As far as office inspiration goes, we love the look of these calm and collected spaces with their airiness and neutral palettes.
THERE IS a sense of calm in the spaces designed by Warsaw-based interior architect and CG artist Julia Bimer. While there is definitely restraint, it doesn't feel oppressive.
WE GAVE a small glimpse into the London home of designer Rose Uniacke in November of last year, as well as a look at some of her work the following month. This month, coinciding with the recent release of her latest book, Wallpaper magazine featured more of the designer’s Warwick Square home.
WE ARE IN the midst of a heatwave and it's intense. Even I, who is always cold, am overheating a little and during last night's cardio, it felt like I was in a sweat lodge. Of course, I've never actually been in a sweat lodge, but it felt like what I imagine being in what would feel like.
The New York Times recently played host to a trilogy of articles, delving into the shifting landscape of work in the digital age. These thought-provoking pieces shed light on myriad challenges that arise as we navigate the evolving nature of work in the modern world, and underscore the pressing need to prioritise the well-being of workers as we forge ahead into the future.
WE HAVE been out of town for the past three days, and there's something about taking time away from work that's refreshing. When we returned home yesterday evening, I was ready to get to work, fresh from a break from routine. The time away also made me think about my home office set-up⏤things that are working and things that could be improved, and so I searched around for some inspiration.
THIS WEEK’S Two Lovely Things features the romantic scalloped wicker accent. While we're known to love wicker for pretty much anything, in the form of scallops, it adds an extra-special charm. Here, the scalloped wicker accent comes in the form of a pretty window valence over white linen curtains in a cosy home office in the French countryside, and as a decorative element along the top edge of a wicker storage basket set beneath a console in a bright entryway ...
HEARD ON A podcast that Napoleon hired someone to read books to him while doing mundane tasks like brushing his teeth. P listens to podcasts while shaving and cooking, and I've begun listening to an economics podcast while putting on makeup. I still read only books and my Kindle though⏤no audio books for me.
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.
FOR THOSE OF US who are not used to working from home, it may be difficult to keep the days straight. That being said, we are used to it here at TIG, but due to the lockdown, we’re having trouble keeping the days straight as well, as can be seen with this post falling a Friday…
WAS REMARKING recently how one of my pet peeves is when people don't know the difference between its and it's. Bad spelling and grammar in general are annoying, but when people mix up its and it's, especially so. And in this age of social media everything ...
The muffled screams escaped through the narrowly cracked window and into the frigid winter afternoon air. That’s what drew attention to the blue pickup truck, otherwise inconspicuous in the grocery store’s side lot.
Architectural Digest Editor Amy Astley shared the 1916 redbrick Stockholm mansion of sommelier Jeanette Mix on her personal Instagram page and of course, we were immediately taken with the grand chandelier dramatically hanging over the Calacatta oro marble island...
I remember visiting the Barbara Hepworth Museum in St Ives in Cornwall in the South West of England and being...
