Night Fever: Hangover-free clubbing at Vitra Design Museum

March 29, 2018

The Vitra Design Museum exhibition 'Night Fever: Designing Club Culture 1960 - Today' is part voyeurism, part clinical analysis of someone’s leisure time. Which actually turns out to be an excellent way to spend an afternoon.

SHOCK NEWS! A maximalist falls for Scandi style

October 15, 2017

I've been pretty sniffy about Scandi style in the past. I've haw-hawed at Hyyge, poo-pooed the pared-back colour palette and shied away from the bare walls and empty spaces. But what I'd failed to realise is how Scandi subtleties are the very definition of less is more.

Why I'm moving back to London

March 28, 2017

At my life stage lots of people move out of London to a) be near family, b) afford a bigger house/garden, and c) to find a more peaceful way of living. We are doing the opposite, but somehow it just feels right...

"Fabulous family living!"

Emily Murray founder of The Pink House Living

"Hello! I’m Emily Murray, founder and editor of The Pink House. I’m a lifestyle journalist who has written and edited for loads of different publications, including Stylist, The Guardian, Grazia, Cosmopolitan, Conde Nast Traveller, Brides, and Mother & Baby. Here I am in the bricks-and-mortar Pink House in South East London, where I live with the Pink House Husband (PHH) and our two small, semi-feral boys. Our fabulous Christopher Farr sofa is covered in marker pen and chocolate, and the Eames rocker has a few suspicious stains. Come in and make yourself at home. No need to take your shoes off."
