Certainly the most striking thing about this kitchen is its windows, which blur the line between wall and ceiling and give the feeling of cooking, if not outdoors, at least in a very luxurious greenhouse. If your windows do not magically turn into a ceiling you can still emphasize them by painting the inside frames black, which will turn them into a striking architectural feature even if they only just go up and down, like boring old windows do.

From pastel to saturated, from neon to nature-inspired, color is one of the most engaging and important decor elements you can use to design a home. It’s not hyperbolic to describe color as powerful.

Ready to up your sustainable-Christmas game? These heavenly-smelling pomanders created with oranges and cloves make gorgeous centrepieces for your dinner table and are so fun to make with three simple steps. Seasoned maker and Yodomo instructor Deborah Schneebeli-Morrell gives instructions for this project that yields unique festive decorations that not only look beautiful but smell oh, so delicious. Place your creations in a bowl with some acorns for an impressive centrepiece that will get anyone in the holiday spirit. What you’ll need to make your clove-spiked pomanders: Firm, fresh oranges Cloves Small knitting needle or cocktail stick (to make holes for the cloves) Lino-cutting tool Aquarelle (water-based) pencil or pen Step 1: Draw on the orange Very lightly draw the lines where you want to insert the cloves. Step 2: Make holes and insert cloves Use the knitting needle or cocktail stick to make a small hole and insert a clove, and continue making holes 4mm apart and inserting cloves until the design is complete. Step 3: Lino-cut some decorative lines Use the lino-cutting tool to cut decorative lines. Once you're satisfied with the lino-cut decor, leave it to dry in a warm, airy place. They will shrink as the juice inside evaporates. Create them up to one month before Christmas so they have time to dry and harden up. Your finished clove-spiked pomander Now that you've completed your pomanders and have left your workspace smelling like a festive daydream, why not try out some of Deborah's other fantastic courses? Learn how to carve a wooden spoon by hand with this online video course, and become an expert at this mindful creative activity.
