With the heatwave in full swing, we want to be anywhere but inside - unless there's aircon, which, in British homes, doesn't exist. So: dinner on a paddleboard, a bottle of rosé in a Lime bike basket packed with ice, or the nearest patch of grass with a picnic. Meals don't need to be complicated. Wherever you end up, just not inside.

There's a particular kind of hotel that doesn't just give you somewhere to sleep, it gives you a colour palette you'll spend the rest of the trip trying to describe to people at home. The kind where the decision to paint every wall a specific shade of green, or to tile an entire courtyard in hand-painted blue and white, wasn't a branding exercise but something closer to a personal conviction. From a clifftop fortress in Calpe that Ricardo Bofill designed in shades of deep red and purple, to a Rajasthani haveli where every room is a different jewel tone, to a quietly extraordinary guesthouse on a car-free island off the coast of Senegal - this guide is for those who book by atmosphere as much as location. Eleven hotels where colour isn't decoration. It's the whole point.

Hotels if you love colour

Copenhagen’s 3 Days of Design returns with a jam-packed programme of exhibitions, installations and brand takeovers across the city. It’s a lot to soak up, with more than 50 brands taking part this year – but we’ve got you covered.
From interactive installations to first-time collaborations, anniversary milestones and an oyster and champagne bar, here’s what you need to know ahead of the viral design week.

3 Days of Design

Good renovation advice is almost always retrospective. You have to make the mistakes first. Room by Room is a new series from Glassette where we ask designers and homeowners to walk us through a single space: what wasn't working, what they spent too much on (and whether it was worth it), and what they'd tell you before you pick up a sledgehammer.
For the latest instalment of Room by Room, we spoke to Corey Hemingway, co-founder of design-led estate agency Hemingway+K, about the kitchen extension of her 1960s London townhouse. What started as a small, dingy space became a warm, light-filled room designed to do everything at once: cook, work, host, and connect seamlessly to the garden beyond.
Twelve months in the making, the project came with its share of surprises - deeper foundations, escalating construction costs, and the occasional challenge of being, in Corey's words, a "tyrannical perfectionist". Along the way, she learned the value of trusting contractors, following instinct when choosing materials, and investing in the elements that shape a room's atmosphere.
From Douglas fir walls and butter-yellow joinery to the Accoya sliding doors that frame the garden, Corey takes us through the decisions, splurges and lessons behind her favourite room in the house.

Flowers don't need to be arranged so much as considered. The vase, the stem count, where you put them in a room - small decisions that add up to something that feels intentional rather than just bought. We've pulled together five creative ideas for styling cut flowers at home.

Creative Ideas For Flower Arranging

Spend five minutes with chef Santiago Lastra, the force behind London’s KOL, where Mexican cooking is filtered through a fiercely personal, produce-led lens. We catch him mid-service, deep in rhubarb season, talking flavour as the ultimate non-negotiable and food as an act of celebration. From spicy, fresh plates designed to make you order another round, to the quiet power of teamwork in the kitchen, Santiago reflects on patience, joy, and why the best meals are colourful, generous, and made to be shared.

Aquarius season (January 20 – February 18) invites originality, clarity, and a fresh kind of freedom.
Represented by the water-bearer, Aquarians are guided by intellect, independence, and a quietly rebellious streak. They’re drawn to ideas and objects that feel thoughtful, future-facing, and slightly unexpected - things with a point of view. Aquarius thrives in spaces that feel light and intelligently composed: clean lines, curious colour, sculptural details, and pieces that spark conversation. Not overly sentimental, but deeply intentional, they have a talent for making a home feel like a lived-in gallery - calm, clever, and distinctly their own. With wit, warmth, and a refusal to do “the obvious,” Aquarius bring a sense of possibility to everything they touch.

There’s something about the start of a new year that makes everything feel possible - a blank page and a gentle reset. I’m not one for dramatic reinvention, but I am big on getting organised early, so the year doesn’t run away with me. Every January, I print out my weekly planning sheets, map out the months ahead, and pin up my A0 calendar so that 2026 feels visible, and therefore manageable. This year, I’m adding a misogi into my planning to get the most out of my year - one big, slightly daunting goal that sits outside the day-to-day and makes the year feel directional. I’m also pencilling in mini breaks early, so there’s rest built in before everything fills up. Here’s what I’m using to plan 2026!

How To Plan Your 2026

Glassware is the base layer, the fun starts with the add-ons. Think glass skirts, cocktail sticks, covers and beads: tiny details that instantly make a drink feel styled. A skirt gives the glass a softer silhouette, beads add a flash of colour (and help everyone keep track of theirs), and a cover adds a little theatre while keeping things cool and crisp. Easy, elevated hosting, without overthinking it.

Though set on May Day, The Wicker Man (1973) has become a Halloween classic. Its horror is not cloaked in darkness, but bathed in sunlight - a slow, golden dread that seeps through fields of wildflowers and apple blossoms.
 Where other films offer shadows and monsters, The Wicker Man gives us something far more disquieting: smiling faces, ancient rituals, and the quiet certainty of sacrifice.
