Consequently A lot of home-owners opt for a natural palette to gain back that sense of order and structure into their lives. Calming hues such as creams, ivory and beige mixed with wood finishes add an ambience of peace and tranquillity. Whilst a natural interiors is beautiful. In addition for some people this theme can lack a striking statement feeling. That's where this weeks interior inspiration comes in.

The sharp addition of colour will give your home that talking point impact as it contrasts against the muted cream tones. Try to restrain the amount of black you introduce, as too much can sometimes overwhelm an interior. For this weeks look book we concentrated on the three main rooms in every home and looked at how to create an edgy and trendy look by adding a sharp injection of dramatic black to your New Year interiors.

Natural and Black Kitchen Interior

Mixing different interiors styles together has become popular over the last few years, such as retro and contemporary or county mixed with industrial. Introducing an eclectic mix of styles will give your natural interiors that wow factor and talking point as it is unusual and different to the norm. For the kitchen we've chosen the popular shaker style setting of creams and shabby chic distressed wood finishes. Then turned the whole look on it's side and introduced our stunning Replica Circa 1957 Chandelier. This is a timeless piece with a retro twist that will sit comfortably in many interiors. A suspended central structure features exposed entwining wires that give the fitting an industrial element. 30 small bulbs giving a diffused light complete the look. To compliment, we've chosen our Tees Outdoor Spun Cowl Fisherman Style Wall Light in Black which reference the shaker kitchen style. Ultimately an outdoor light, this fitting can be used indoors to get that farmhouse-chic feel.

Keep dark tones classy and understated with a more traditional shape. We've chosen our new Somerset 8 Light Chandelier in Black for this look. It's been a few years since we've had a black finished core chandelier range. With chrome taking centre stage for a while now. So this collection is long overdue. A classic design, our Somerset range features curved arms with thinner interlinked metal detail that gives each piece a classic chandelier look. Exposed candle bulbs resemble a traditional candelabra element whilst the black finish adds a striking twist. We've teamed this with our Black Striped Cone Shade and Round Base Black Table Lamp for a subtle collaboration.
