Love this post on Apartment Therapy in the US, about repurposing old ladders in your home:
In Germany, Decor8’s Holly Becker posted a list of 10 must-have decorating books this week, including two by Aussies Jason Grant and Sibella Court:
We’re all still talking about Pantone colour of the year Radiant Orchid (which I’m not a fan of!) but over in the UK, this week blogger Bright.Bazaar’s reporting on Dulux’s colour of the year, a much more acceptable teal!

The best way to begin to work with colour in your home is to enjoy the experience and be prepared to take a risk.
A folder of imagery you like is a really good way to start to find what you naturally gravitate to and then you can begin to make colour schemes around your style aesthetic and your colour preferences.
There’s a reason that trends stick around and that’s because they just work. Chevron is one of these. People keep asking me isn’t chevron “over” yet and no, it isn’t, because everyone loves it! AURA obviously agree, because there’s plenty of that old zigzag favourite in their latest colourful collection for summer, released this week.
If you love colour, this one’s for you. I particularly like the mix of neutral natural fibres like linen and cotton with the bright patterns and accents. Choose a lot of colour or the odd pop, depending on your taste. Choose from crochet, oversized chevron, spots, dipped and plain styles.
