Planning some big purchases with BoConcept*

In a few months, I turn the big three-oh. It’s equal parts exciting and terrifying. I’m not quite sure when my twenties have run off to, and even though I still kind of feel like I should be heading off to lectures, I’m now handling a whole lot more responsibility with work. I’m also prone to now lust after home goods, rather than handbags. In my search for investments which are going to last a lifetime, I’ve fallen in love with BoConcept, and if you’re in the same position as me, I’d very much recommend heading through to their furniture stores in Glasgow. I’m obsessed with the brand’s paired back, Scandinavian aesthetic. Equal parts mid-century cook and clean modern lines, the pieces are no doubt classics which will never date.

I’m currently looking for a few key pieces for my house and office, and honesty, the Amsterdam corner sofa is possibly the chicest sofa I’ve ever seen. The sleek lines mean it will always look stylish, and can you get any cosier that grey velvet? Priced at £5118 it’s undoubtedly an investment, but when you think that you’ll be able to enjoy it for decades to come, it doesn’t feel quite so spendy!

I’ve also been on the hunt for a desk which is going to see me through work and blogging. As someone who works from home, and from a computer, I tend to spend hours in the office staring at my screens. So having an office which looks good and performs well is seriously important to me. The Cupertino Desk  meets all my needs and looks good doing it! I just love the white lacquered finish, and the drawers mean I can tuck all my papers and wires away and keep the place looking tidy. It’s also got enough room to spread out, so no matter if I’m working on my desktop or laptop, there’s more than enough room!

As a rule, I tend to opt for interiors which are as tidy and streamlined as possible, but it’s easy to let that veer too far into cold and clinical, so I absolutely love these stunning Velvet Cushions. Priced at £49, they’re an affordable way to inject a little colour and texture into the room, and I am obsessed with this dusky rose shade. It looks gorgeous with my neutral interiors, and feels beautifully feminine without being overly girly. In addition to wanting these for the sofa, they’d look gorgeous in a bedroom too!

Although committing to big interior purchases can feel intimidating, when they’re as gorgeous as BoConcept’s offerings, you know you won’t regret them!

Thank you to BoConcept for sponsoring this post.

Packaged in the chicest of silver grey gift bags, Quintessentially Flowers can be delivered anywhere in the UK from their London headquarters, and despite being sent to me up in Edinburgh, mine arrived perfectly fresh and fragrant. They were the perfect way to brighten up a dull Friday!

A mix of some of my favourite blooms; roses and hydrangeas, along with a selection of other little beauties were arranged into a huge pom pom of flowers.It was such a fun and unusual way to see to display flowers, and once I got home, I popped them straight into a large crystal fishbowl vase which I’ve just been dying to use!

The bouquet is absolutely perfect for a Valentines treat! It makes me smile every time I look at them, and they’ve easy lasted five days since delivery, and they’re still going strong!

Thank you so much to Quintessentially Flowers. Bouquets start at £60.00 and are available here

Some Closet Inspiration

At the moment I’m in the middle of some serious home renovations. Paint samples are dotting the walls, and I’ve been oohing and ahhing over tile samples for way too long!

Before we even got started though, there was one area of the house which I knew exactly what I wanted – my wardrobe. Thankfully I have quite a large built in wardrobe that blends into the wall. It’s got wooden doors which open out, and it is pretty deep, complete with a few shelves for my numerous bags and shoes.

To make it feel more like one of those walk-ins I regularly drool over I had the idea to install a couple of lights, so it makes it so much easier to decide what I want to wear in the morning.

I can’t tell you how much of a difference a couple of LED bulbs make. I can see exactly where everything is, and it feels almost like a little corner of a boutique. So that everything feels organised and all a bit special, I got our electrician to install lights both in the top portion, and under the shelf.

It means that I don’t have neglected dusty corners anymore, and I know exactly whats hanging up! To finish my luxe makeover I had new carpet installed, and I also had the walls painted a beautiful vanilla shade. You can find similar lights to the ones I used (and basically any lighting idea you can imagine) right here.
