Hello,

Thank you for visiting. This is home to my weekly Newsletter (name to be decided, maybe you can help me?). A place which will help you curate a Scandi Lifestyle. I share how we renovated and built our own Scandi inspired Cabin but in Cardiff, which yes is a city and the capital of Wales and perhaps not as romantic as Scandinavia, but it is where we found our ‘diamond in the rough!’

I also share ad hoc Edits across fashion, interiors and travel, I hope you will love it here.

You might know me already as Hygge for Home on Instagram but in case you don’t, I am also co-author of the best-selling interior design book 'Scandi Rustic: Creating a Cozy and Happy Home,' which has found its place in over 63,000 homes worldwide.

Eight years ago, I was living in my first home, yearning for comfort, calmness, and coziness—especially as my trio of little ladies were young. I spent countless hours cocooned within our four walls, becoming fascinated by interiors that could enrich well-being. It was during our first home renovation that my passion for Scandinavian design was born. Through the Scandi aesthetic, I found solace and calm amidst the chaos of busy family life and nurtured a growing community on Instagram which now stands at 334,000 of you and launched my career, as a Homewares Designer.

Why Substack?

A health crisis in 2022 made me rethink. Facing and overcoming Multiple Sclerosis (I am in fact cured which is a story for another day!) led me to seek stability and consistency beyond Instagram, and I found myself craving longer form content.

I would love for you to join me over here.

Your support is invaluable and deeply appreciated.
