home: trend [ sunset to dusk ] 

The natural world brings us many inspirational colours that influence trends that find their way into our homes, and with blush pinks being so popular we now found all the tones of sunset to dusk being a new strong inspiration for our interiors. 

This Nordic influenced calming colour palette brings together peaches, pinks, soft sky blues and lavender that contrast well with the colours of dusk and nightfall – the darker inkier blues, charcoal and black. 


Look for smooth finishes, natural fabrics, woods and the softest hues of each shade. Use the dark tones on walls, lighting and floors with all the pale colours for furniture, soft furnishings and gone accessories. Colour block with shades of the same colour and keep pattern to minimum.

If you are looking to stand out from your neighbours, or fancy making a statement then you should consider the outside of your house as well as the inside with updating your house number.

Gone are the days of traditional brass numbers on the front door or decorative ceramic plates fixed to the wall. There is now a new wave of ideas including neon, incorporating plants and hammered nails. Of course some of these ideas might be a bit over the top in reality but we hope they inspire you.

When glasses get outdated or worn through repeated washing it’s time to find some new ones. 

So you don’t have to feel guilty about spending to much money, we found these sets of 4 tumblers from Made.com

The sets come in various colour combinations but we think the rich dark tonal colours set is perfect for winter and would look great for the Christmas table.

We are loving West Elms new collection  of sofas and chairs, especially this Mid-Century armchair. The wide low slung shape and sculptured wooden arms give a classic shape, complemented by salt & pepper upholstery. A chair that is not only great to look at but extremely comfortable too.

Organise your hallway paraphernalia with this Bema hallway grid style rack system from Made.Com at just £189. 

The racking system is in matt black coated steel with an atomic and industrial look to it. 

It’s minimal and smart, and it could look equally good in a clean monochrome interior or against a bright wall surrounded by pattern.
