People often get overwhelmed with the need to incorporate new ‘trends’ but just remember they are guidelines of what we are seeing out there. Don’t forget, you can always set your own!

Next week, we venture in familiar territory – design capital of the world – London.

We followed the London Design Festival trail and discovered many wonderful brands that we'll bring you very soon, and spoke to many lovely people. For a sneak preview check out our twitter, pinterest and instagram feed @thelongeststay #thelongeststay
