Focus on ceramics

Chances are, there is probably a ceramics studio near you with wonderful handmade items. If not, have a look at these lovely pieces to bring a spot of character to your home.

Next big thing: Sconces

I have been seeing sconces everywhere recently. Not so much the Victorian candelabra kind, but the design-statement kind. Somewhere between a lamp and a downlight, a sconce can also double as an art piece on a wall.

Learned how to: sit down with a puzzle

It’s been about 25 years since I got stuck into a puzzle and I had forgotten how relaxing they can be. For those of us who appreciate something a little aesthetic, I’ve compiled some puzzles you won’t mind having on the bench when people come to visit.
