Not only does black tableware create a striking impression on any table, but did you know that according to a University study, darker plate colours alter people’s perception of portion sizes by giving the impression of large and generous portion sizes compared to white alternatives. ⁣ Need I say more? 😂

One of our gentle Christmas themes this year is Vintage Charm 🤍⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Like clusters of scrumptious soft rose coloured berries, these miniature glass baubles will add mouth-watering vintage colour and style to your tree this Christmas.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Pile them high in a bowl, use them to decorate wintry twig displays, or simply hang them from your Christmas tree.⁠⠀ Whichever way you choose to style them, they will evoke a spirit of Christmasses gone by.⁠ ⁠⠀ They are due in stock next week 🖤⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

Nordic simplicity 🖤⁠ ⁠ After this extraordinary year, Christmas is somehow already gently coming into focus.⁠ ⁠ I for one am ready to embrace this special time of year, full of tradition, hope and love.⁠ Designed in-house and handmade for Nordic House in the UK by skilled artisan craftsmen, each one of our beautiful porcelain decorations are made with love and designed to be handed down from generation to generation. There’s something wonderful in that tradition isn’t there? I hope you will be inspired by the natural world and the calm, peaceful beauty of a Scandinavian winter, with our ethereal Nordic Simplicity collection.⁠ ⁠ Wishing you all a peaceful Sunday evening xx

As lovers of a little timeless nostalgia, we welcomed in this utterly gorgeous soft pink velvet Chesterfield chair.⁠ ⁠ Luxuriously sumptuous, and adding a touch of femininity to any room - it's the perfect place to enjoy long languid weekend days with a good book and a favourite tipple or two. 🤍⁠ ⁠

Elegant, useful, practical - the perfect Friday night accessory 🖤 ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ A wonderful wine lovers gift - this elegant wine finer offers precise, drip-free pouring with multiple holes aerating your wine as you pour; and comes with a tight-fitting lid to keep your wine fresh if you don’t get through the whole bottle in one session (it could happen!) ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Happy Friday night everyone xx⁠⠀ ⁠⠀

As thoughts slowly turn to the festive season, understated glamour seems to be where we are heading.⁠ ⁠ Beautiful soft, stonewashed black striped linen, maybe partnered with our gorgeous new black ceramic tableware - for a touch of the dark side? 🖤

A traditional Scandinavian token throughout winter and at Christmas time, our tomte represents a cheeky, generous spirit that, in folklore, helps to take care of the home, especially through the winter months. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In modern Sweden, he has taken on more of the Father Christmas role, and no Swedish home would be without its own tomte in the festive period!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Our tomte sits with his floppy legs on a mantelpiece or shelf in the living room or kitchen, watching over the home and everyone within it. He symbolises the hope and lifting of spirits we all need to get through midwinter, and he has a special place in the hearts of adults and children alike.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Utterly charming and nostalgic, we hope you'll love this little piece of Nordic tradition in your home this Christmas. Don't forget to leave out a bowl of porridge - his favourite - to win his favour on Christmas Eve.

As we head towards another half-term, our minds turn to entertaining the little ones.⁠ ⁠ A cross between contemporary design and vintage spirit, our eco-design wooden furniture with Scandinavian accents, will live happily in a modern loft apartment or a country house.⁠ ⁠ Sourced from a small family company, this mini eco play table and stool are lovingly hand-crafted from the most beautiful beech wood, and finished with eco-friendly non toxic paints.⁠ ⁠ After all, embracing the concept of air quality in a child's room is imperative, which means equipping the room with the best materials. 🖤

Everyone has been falling for the wonderful textural appeal of our new range of crochet cushions.⁠ ⁠ The current craze for traditional crafts makes them oh-so-nostalgic, while their earthy colourway makes them feel instantly at home.⁠ ⁠ Cosy down, cuddle up and enjoy! 🖤⁠

Purity, peace and goodness 🖤⁠ ⁠ Simple white pillar candles. An exquisite display to treasure.⁠ ⁠ As we reflect on the week just gone and before entering into a new one, I'm taking a few moments to pause and just be. ⁠ ⁠ Hope you all have a gentle, peaceful Sunday night xx

Today is batch cooking day! Time to fill the freezer for easy suppers on busy days.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I have always wanted a simple, elegant spoon rest and we have finally found one to love 🖤⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Whatever your plan is today - or maybe you don't have one, hope you have a relaxing, peaceful weekend xx

Friday night moment 🖤 ⁠ ⁠ I saw this utterly beautiful quote which has just resonated with me so much. Here goes - hope maybe someone else will find they are the right words, at the right time.⁠ Sandie xx⁠ ⁠ Life is an opportunity, benefit from it. ⁠ Life is beauty, admire it. ⁠ Life is a dream, realise it.⁠ Life is a challenge, meet it. ⁠ Life is a duty, complete it. ⁠ Life is a game, play it. ⁠ Life is a promise, fulfill it. ⁠ Life is sorrow, overcome it.⁠ Life is a song, sing it.⁠ Life is a struggle, accept it. ⁠ Life is a tragedy, confront it. ⁠ Life is an adventure, dare it. ⁠ Life is luck, make it. ⁠ Life is too precious, do not destroy it. ⁠ Life is life, fight for it.⁠
