Ski Lodge Style

Following Christmas the beginning of the year can always seem a little "flat" and dull. The pretty twinkling lights are all packed away, festive treats are eaten and Spring seems a long way off! So why not steal the style of the alpine slopes and cosy up to enjoy the rest of winter? I adore the jet set, ski chalet chic with it's fabulous blend of luxury lifestyle and rustic charm. Sumptuous textures of fur, suede, and cashmere are combined with raw wood, horn, felted wool and rough bark to create a look synonymous with this pastime. A delicious colour palette of caramel, fudge, chocolate, Arctic white, wolf grey and black add a decadent touch to any interior. This look is all about indulgence and pleasure, those apres ski afternoon teas with divine chocolate cake and perhaps a cafe correctto? Evenings of fine dining and discussions of the days exploits on the slopes, followed with Cognacs by a roaring log fire. The bliss of retiring to crisp white sheets under clouds of feather duvets and fur throws, happily exhausted from the mountain air!

Contemporary Country Colours

Fresh, clean earth tints form a soothing colour palette for today's country living. Shades of Clay, Slate, French grey, Shutter Blue, Mulberry, Damson, Willow leaf and Gooseberry green set against chalky white add a contemporary twist to traditional country styling. Modern material such a stainless steel and aluminium contrast against the natural elements of pale stone and bleached wood. Here are a few of my most recent finds starting with the heart of the country home - the kitchen.

Relaxed Country Living

A colour palette of dusted earth tones and soft powdered pigments such as mulberry, raw plaster, putty, charcoal and zinc give a soothing, calming atmosphere to any room. Textures of washed linens, aged rustic wood and natural elements are set against pared down architecture to give this country look a contemporary twist.
