Rustic White

Thursday, March 15, 2012

Rustic white interiors, breezy, relaxed and inviting; combining brocante finds with a contemporary pared-down look. Soft rustic textures with pretty faded florals, washed vintage linens and crisp white cottons. Wood adds warmth, be it natural or painted and rural industrial elements contrast perfectly with the softness of cottage fabrics. The finished look is fresh, practical and very, very comfortable.

Grey

Thursday, October 13, 2011

From subtle tones of the palest ash and silver to the deepest charcoal grey; the iconic French Grey, and the delightfully named Greige - that divine combination of grey and beige, all become part of a soothing and restful colour palette. Here are some of my favourites.
