6 nice nooks

Perhaps it's been my interest in Window Seats of late? Or maybe a need for a quiet spot to work? But it could just be that these 6 spaces are so lovely that I want one for myself... A cozy nook to eat, read or just catch up with a friend and a warm cup of tea sounds delightful to me.

Seeing green x 16

Here are 16 beautiful spaces that use green as a focal point. And why not? In each of the rooms below it gives a vibrant pop of fresh and natural colour that leaves the viewer feeling rejuvenated. Research even shows that it's relaxing and calming which is why TV shows use green rooms for their guests to wait in. See if has that effect on you - either way, I'm sure you'll start thinking about how you can add it to your own home...

7 Creative office spaces I love...

Calling these rooms "office spaces" seems unjust. They're far too beautiful to be saddled with that title.

And you couldn't help be anything but creative - and organised in any one of them....

The knitted ottoman/pouffe

Don't you love the knitted pouffe trend going around?

While some of these lovely decorator items from well known Scandinavian designers can be picked up for around $400, there are also less expensive alternatives. Spotlight are doing fantastic copies at the moment for under $80. They're available in a great range of colours from teals to charcoals - all very on trend. So, looks like I might be able to have one after all....

Space I love...

More homely decadence for my "Forever Home Idea File"... Imagine the slumber parties the boys could have in this pool house! Did I mention I'll need to be winning the lottery in my future? Seriously though, it's a great design for any home on a larger block, as it works as a pool house/self contained space for friends to stay/rumpus room/studio - the studio is my favourite use for it... of course! And I'm in LOVE with that carpet!

How to create Scandinavian style at home

Love the style of our Scandi friends? You aren't alone. Clean fresh palettes, natural finishes and simple styling are the trademark of some of the most popular contemporary brands such as Oeuf, Leander and of course Ikea, and they are beyond popular. Today, LMNOP Magazine talk to Gillian Rose, founder of Danish By Design and get her to share her top tips on how to recreate that stunning Scandi flavour in your own space...

1. Soft white: White helps to lighten sun-starved spaces and can make small rooms magically appear large. White works well with timber floors and gives a room a modern and stylish aura. The room won’t look too overpowering either, once all the toys start creeping in.

2. Light and natural wood: Natural or whitewashed floorboards and nursery furniture enhance the light feeling. Dark furniture can also work as it contrasts the rest of the room, but it does need more space. Use wooden and soft toys to complete the theme.

3. Simplicity: Don’t clutter the room with too much furniture or decorative objects. The nursery should have a classic feel to it, leaving the white walls and natural wood furniture to give it a contemporary edge.
