DESIGN EVENT - HOUZZ OF 2018

Houzz is a website about architecture, interior design, decorating and home improvement which is hosting an event live in London right now: Houzz of 2018.

The interior design studio Run for the Hills transformed a stylish five-storey Soho townhouse into a complete flat reflecting all that's current in home design. 

If you love snooping around other people's homes, this is the type of experience you'll have, and you will be able to buy anything you see for a 15% discount on the original price.

The pop-up is open to the public between the 26th January-31st January and is free.

DESIGN SHOP - ARKET

Arket belongs to the H&M Group and defines itself as "a modern-day market". The first Arket store was opened in Regent Street in August 2017 displaying homeware and stationery items along with clothing and accessories for men, women and children.

Prices are not H&M aligned, it feels more like if Uniqlo and COS had a baby, and the baby has also a homeware line.

I've been there three times, and so far I've bought only notebooks and socks, but I'm sure I will soon surrender to that cast-iron pot, the umpteenth thin-glass set, one green vase or an overpriced terracotta flowerpot.

The in-store café has a very distinct northern European style, and good coffee.
Let me know what you think.
