home: trend [ distressed glass ]

This year we are seeing a resurgence of antique and distressed furniture and home accessories.

Glass and mirrors have a distressed aged look to them giving them not only an antique feel, but gives interest. This trend can also stretch to the garden with large outdoor paneled mirrors.

You can also see this style on glass to tables, trays and ornaments.

If you love walnut as a tone of wood for furniture and are fond of midcentury styling then West Elm have a range to fall for.

We love the Gemini furniture range made from sustainable and fair trade walnuts, with its beautiful curved detailing and slim legs.

Walnut is a wood that sits so well with so many colours and has a beautiful warmth.

home: trend [ natural finishes ]

A big trend we are seeing this year and in particular this Summer, is natural finishes.

This stripped back look can be seen on tables, chairs, lighting & mirrors. Of course you probably don’t want to deck out your whole room in eveything pale wood, but just a few of these pieces will mix well together.

If you like a neutral colour pallete or earthy tones are your thing, this is where you can have the most fun. In a dining room a natural finished wooden dining table and chairs can look amazing against a dark green wall or black kitchen cabinets.

In a living room a wooden lampshade can be a lovely addition. The light is often softened and it will certainly be a focal point.

If you choose items that are also untreated then you have the option of painting them at a later date. There are so many great colour choices available.

It’s no hidden fact that we both love chairs as well as having a slight obsession with rattan and woven examples.

This gorgeous rattan cane armchair from frenchconnection.com is a statement piece that will keep giving for many years to come.

The resurgence of rattan furniture is great, but for some it never really went away and for this reason it is the right decision to invest in a piece that you will love forever.
