The brief was to create a 65 square meter extension including an open plan kitchen/living/dining room for a house in Highgate, North London. LLI Design have created a relaxed easy space, uncluttered and unfussy but with a warm family feel, combining new furniture pieces with existing artworks. Delicious pops of colour bring the scheme to life.

That’s it. I’m moving in. No ifs. No buts. No excuses. This is as close to my perfect home as a stranger could design for me. Oh I love real estate stalking. This amazing home is in Woollahra, Sydney and the link is here while it lasts.

Block by Dylan is a lunch & brunch restaurant located in the center of Helsinki, right next to the Kauppatori market square. Designed by Suvi-Maria Silvola and Laura Seppänen, it’s a cool mix of Scandinavian minimalism, vivid colour, warm wood tones and clean lined functionality. I can’t believe I have another restaurant to add to my bucket list. Good design and great food gets me every time. Photography by Pauliina Salonen

Those windows! The subway tile!. The lights! Love this kitchen by Christine Lane Interiors.
