Real Nordic Living
The real cornerstone in this blog post comes in the form of Real Nordic Living, a stunning ‘sourcebook’ that celebrates contemporary Scandinavian style from every angle. From design to interiors to cuisine and back, this one is a real mix of content and is one I find myself dipping into most evenings for a source of inspiration. There are entire spreads devoted to fashion designers, interior designers, recipes and more and it is an absolute staple for any Hygge devotee.Available here via Amazon.
A huge thank you must go to the Thames & Hudson team for providing these books to me for review. All opinions and words remain honest and my own!
3 New Coffee Table Books To Covet
6.11.17 Without a shadow of a doubt, my ultimate guilty pleasure is buying coffee table books and recipe books when I don’t even own my home yet. Whilst previously I was a big fan of style books – I justified them all by reminding myself I was a fashion student – you’re more likely to find me reading in vain for the meaning of life, interior inspiration and for filling vegetarian recipes these days. Interior inspiration has got to be the most surprising addition to my bookshelves but I’m all for dreaming of my own little space these days. I was recently lucky enough to be gifted a few new coffee table books and thought I’d share them just ahead of gifting season, just in case your Secret Santa is an enthusiast of the written word AND home interiors or even if you’re just hunting down some mid-century modern inspo.Mid-Century Modern at Home
