    You may remember a post I wrote a while back all about a Swedish company called Pretty Pegs that makes shiny new “shoes” for your IKEA furniture allowing you to customize it and add a unique bit of flair to what is otherwise undeniably mainstream. If you haven’t read the original post you can do so here.…

The PS 2014 collection, which launched in stores on 01st April 2014, reflects the growing trend for compact, changeable spaces that feature furniture that is flexible, moveable and affordable and that helps us to maximise every…

    There really are some fantastic new designs coming out of IKEA right now. You may remember the Metod kitchen that I featured last week and this week it’s the turn of the new limited edition BRÅKIG Collection. BRÅKIG means rebellious in Swedish and the collection is the result of IKEA’s collaboration with ArtRebels, a Danish creative collective that brings…

    Now who doesn’t love IKEA? I know I do and following recent news that a new store has now been approved for Exeter I couldn’t be more excited. But I was really interested to hear about the new kitchen that the Scandinavian retail giant has launched this month. The METOD kitchen from IKEA replaces the existing FAKTUM…

    Well it’s that time of year again when I am called upon to perform my seasonal duties as a trend hunter. This time last year I was contacted by Vouchercodes.co.uk and asked to be one of their High Street Hunters. This basically means that each season I identify a trend that I believe will be big in interiors…

    Ever since I first moved out of my parents when I went to uni all those many years ago (thinking about it really is quite frightening) I have had a fair amount of Ikea furniture in my house. As a student, Ikea is obviously a great choice as it’s well made, hard-wearing,  and reasonably priced.…

    Scandinavian design has been increasingly dominating home interior trends in the UK in recent years. We British have grown very fond of the clean-lined and useful products that are often made from natural materials that seem to feed our need for emotional comfort. I myself am a huge fan of the design traditions that have filtered through…

    So, I’ve spent quite a bit of time recently on some new websites that I wasn’t really aware of so long ago. The first website is Pinterest, which is a kind of social catalogue or virtual pinboard that allows you to post collections of things you love, and “follow” collections created by people who have…

        One of the things that is so great about IKEA furniture, apart from its reasonable pricing, quality materials, and ease of assembly is its “hackability”. The furniture is mostly quite simple or minimalist and so lends itself to being adapted and modified to transform it from flat-pack furniture into something far more bespoke.…
