Image: 100% Design (copyright Clair Strong) Back in late-September, I made my yearly pilgrimage to the shows at London Design Festival. It’s always an exciting and inspiring event and this year was no different. Here are just a few of my highlights: Decorex The 39th edition of Decorex International appeared to be its biggest yet…
Image: Clair Strong Interior Design Christmas can be expensive. With food, drink, gifts and decorations, it’s easy to get carried away. This year, I’ve made a vow to spend less and enjoy more.
