Italian holiday home full of art and design

When it comes to holidays, finding the right accommodation is crucial but it takes so much time?  Last night, for example, I spent the best part of the evening searching for somewhere to stay on Long Island, New York and I still haven't found anywhere - (tips welcome!). Even though I haven't sorted my own holiday plans  - I might just be able to help you with yours.  If you're heading to Italy this summer, how about staying at the beautiful Villa Bianca on the Sorrento coast? The white washed villa has large, cool rooms filled with design and contemporary art - and there's even a desk in case you're meant to be "working" (ideal!).  But the pièce de résistance has to be the roof terrace and pool which offer the most amazing views over the Gulf of Naples and the island of Capri. Bellissimo!

I could quite happily laze in that pool right now, how about you?!

Inside I spy the Flos Arco floor light and Eames lounge chair and ottoman - anything catch your eye?

Villa Bianca is available to rent here (see more picture here).  

Check out this archive if you'd like to see more beautiful holiday rentals - (pure distraction!). I also love my swimming pool, ocean and travel boards over on Pinterest! As they say 'spend money on experiences, not things'!

A finnish home with nature at the heart

I love it when a plan comes together. The pictures of this beautiful Finnish house are a culmination of cabin manufacturers Kannustalo, stylist extraordinaire Susanna Vento and photographer Riika Kantinkoski. Every aspect of the build and styling is centred around putting nature at the heart of the home; whether through the vast windows which offer spectacular views over the lake, or the abundance of wood and other natural materials inside. The result is an incredibly calm, open space in which to unwind. What a beauty?!

Oh so fabulous.

Could you imagine unwinding here?!

A few items I know and love: sitting room - MANTIS floor lamp, cabinet from IKEA. Bedroom - le Lampe Gras wall light. Pick up white stonewashed bed linen here.

See Riika's own home here. Riika and Susanna also teamed up to produce this lovely book.  

Seeing these beautiful Finnish spaces has got me even more excited about my pending trip to Habitare this September! Think I might just have to stay a few extra days to enjoy Helsinki too! Will you be there?

Have a lovely day!
