    I always love writing about universal design becau I always love writing about universal design because I firmly believe that the world would be a better place if all buildings, products or environments were made accessible to all people, regardless of age, disability or other factors.⠀ ⠀ So when I spotted these new kitchen utensils by @Eyra.design designed in collaboration with @SebastianConran for older hands and wrists I wanted to share them with you.⠀ ⠀ Ageing is something we will all face and the simple tasks that we take for granted right now will inevitably get harder and more dangerous the older we get. Products like this make everyday activities that little bit easier for older people. But they also look great!!⠀ ⠀ Please support their @Kickstarter campaign to help get this project fully funded. Click on @Eyra.design and click the link in their profile to be taken to the campaign where you can read more about it and watch the videos.⠀ ⠀ #universaldesign #kitchenutensils #cooking #kitchenware #kitchenideas #kitchendecor #kitchendesign #beautifulhomes #interiordetails #homeinspiration #sebastianconran #giftidea #productdesign #britishdesign #designstudio #ergonomics #beautifulanduseful #formandfunction #designforaging #aging #agingpopulation

    I've been thinking about what to write here all da I've been thinking about what to write here all day. But I honestly have no words. What I have watched unfold over the past few days has left me speechless. It has also left me with some very difficult and uncomfortable realisations. I see now that I am part of the problem. I am not racist but I have not been anti-racist. It's time to learn what it means to be an ally. And then teach that to my children. #blackoutday2020
    [AD] I have admired the home decor accessories by [AD] I have admired the home decor accessories by @skultuna1607 for quite some time now. I first became aware of them when I was planning my coworking space @thetribecoworks because many of the items have the vibe I was going for. ⠀ ⠀ Skultuna is a Swedish company that was founded in 1607 and is today one of the oldest companies in the world. It works with a long line of leading international designers to create timeless pieces that will become the antiques of tomorrow. ⠀ ⠀ I was recently sent a small selection of these beautiful homewares items and I can't wait to take them to their new home in my office. The brass will look stunning against the pink walls. I'll take some photos soon to show you. ⠀ Images c/o Skultuna ⠀ #brassdecor #brasscandlesticks #brasshomewares #swedishdesign #swedishdesigners #swedishbrand #swedishbrands #swedishantiques #modernantiques #timelessdesign #timelessdesigns #luxedesign #luxedesigns #luxehomewares #interiorstyling #homestylinginspo #homestylinginspiration #tealightholder #bottleopeners #sidetables
    Does anyone else feel like their home is being tot Does anyone else feel like their home is being totally trashed by having the kids at home 24/7? Whilst we have been working our way through all the niggling household DIY jobs to improve our home, the kids seem equally determined to wreck it. ⠀ ⠀ By the time mine go back to school, which won't be on 1st June, I'm probably going to have to redecorate every bloody room as well as replace all the carpets. ⠀ ⠀ The living room, in particular, is crying out for new flooring. The carpet, which wasn't particularly nice to start with, has had orange juice, ketchup, jam, coffee, wine, coco pops and slime spilt on it since lockdown started. Not to mention all the food that has been trampled into it. The Rug Doctor spot cleaner has never been so busy. ⠀ ⠀ And whose bloody brilliant idea was it to get white floor tiles in the bathroom? White? Ok, yes, it was me. If you have kids who love spending time barefoot in the garden jumping in muddy puddles, I strongly advise against white floor tiles ANYWHERE in the house!!! Unless you have a strong desire for daily mopping. I don't, in case you're in any doubt. ⠀ ⠀ So tell me, how is your home holding up to the constant presence of kids?⠀ ⠀ #lockdownlife #lockdowndiaries #lockdownuk #lockdowndays #lockdownwithkids #kidsinlockdown #lockdowndiy #carpetcleaning #newflooring #coronavirusuk #covid19uk #homewithkids #athomewithkids #schoolclosures #athomelearning #homeschool2020 #remotelearning2020 #teachathome #homediyproject
    Have you seen the exciting @kickstarter campaign t Have you seen the exciting @kickstarter campaign that is currently being run by @madebykoa ? They are looking to fund their ingenious duvet cover design that takes all the exhausting effort out of changing the bedding. ⠀ ⠀ Ben and Luke have designed a game-changing duvet cover that is simpler, easier and quicker. It features a specially designed zipper that doesn't compromise comfort.⠀ ⠀ I'm only 5 ft 2 and changing the duvet for me is one of my least favourite household chores, despite the fact that I absolutely love fresh bedding. But this new duvet cover design would make the struggle of awkward feeding and heavy lifting a thing of the past. Hurrah!!!!⠀ ⠀ And I absolutely adore this patterned version which was created in collaboration with @kittymccall ⠀ ⠀ To check out the Kickstarter campaign and pledge your support, click the link in my bio and select this image to be taken straight there.⠀ ⠀ #duvetcoverset #duvetcoversets #beddingsets #beddingset #beddingcollection #beddingstyle #luxurybedding #beddingdesign #duvetcovers #freshbedlinen #freshsheets #freshbedsheets #freshsheetsarethebest #designerduvet #bedroominspiration #bedroomstyle #bedroomlove #bedroomdetails #bedroomsofinstagram #loftbedroom #instabedroom #bedroomaccessories #kickstarter #kickstartercampaign #kickstarterlaunch #kickstarterprojects #surfacepatterndesigns
