    [AD] For many of us, we have now been working from home for over a year. I don't know about you, but my work from home set-up was anything but ideal. Working at the dining table on a hard wooden dining chair did my back and neck absolutely no favours. And the sofa was no better.⠀
⠀
If working from home will become the norm for some of us, we really need to start looking at our home office and making sure that we are not damaging our physical health by working in conditions that are not ideal.⠀
⠀
I have teamed up with @SummitAtHome to host a giveaway where one lucky reader will win a bespoke ergonomic office chair. Head on over to the blog to enter. Click the link in my bio and select this image to be taken to the post.⠀

    Using organic shapes in interiors is a really effective way to bring nature inside and breathe new life into a space. The current trend for organic shapes in interiors has its roots in biophilic design.⠀
⠀
There are 14 patterns of biophilic design and one of those is the inclusion of biomorphic forms and patterns. That means including elements that resemble or suggest the forms of living organisms. Soft organic shapes add flow, movement and balance to our interiors.⠀
⠀
Over on the blog, I have written a post about how you can effectively incorporate organic shapes into your interiors. Click the link in my bio and select this image to be taken straight to the post.⠀

    I often like pulling together little shopping guides from some of my favourite homeware retailers. I usually do these when a number of items from the same retailer end up on my wish list or have found their way onto my Pinterest boards.⠀
⠀
This happened recently with @HMHome. They have so many great homeware items which are not only on-trend, but luckily for us, really quite affordable too. The only problem is, they tend to sell out really quickly so you have to be on the ball and check in regularly if you want to bag a bargain.⠀

    I can't believe I haven't already shared this here! My very good friend Kimberly of @swoonworthyblog has launched her own range of luxury eco-conscious scented candles. I have watched every step of Kimberly's journey in launching @swoonworthyscents and I couldn't be prouder of everything she has achieved so far and will go on to achieve.⠀
⠀
I am not exaggerating when I say that they are the best scented candles I have ever had the joy of burning. I've always struggled to find scented candles that don't give me a headache, sore throat or make me feel like I'm suffocating. These candles do none of that. And the burn is so clean. It's really very impressive.⠀

    I often like to hang out on @EtsyUK checking out the latest homewares and accessories available from the small independent makers and sellers. It never fails to inspire me and I always come across unique pieces that would work for my own home or would make beautiful gifts.⠀
⠀
I rounded up some of my favourite finds that I would personally love to have in my own home and that are currently on my wishlist. Here you can see a beautiful grazing platter from @newemberdesigns that has been hand-burnt with a forest scene. Can't wait to have friends round for dinner again! ⠀

    [AD] Are you guys gearing up for a Spring Spruce Up? Can you feel that Spring is in the air? We’ve had a few nice sunny days recently and it has completely lifted my mood. Also with the lighter mornings and slightly lighter evenings, there is definitely a sense of change on the horizon. Once the clocks go forward too, Spring will be well on the way! ⠀

With this in mind, I’ve teamed up with @WayfairUK to share some of my ‘Spring Spruce Up’ ideas, advice and inspiration for you to try at home ahead of the spring season.⠀
