As a colour, white or pale colours often signifies cleanliness, purity and a sense of calm and it may be for these reasons that light-coloured furniture has become more popular than ever. We\u2019re all seeking out a sense of calm in our lives and our homes provide the perfect sanctuary to whatever troubles may lay outside of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hove<\/p>\n

We have plenty of white and grey painted furniture<\/a> ranges \u2013 Hove<\/a>, Shay<\/a>, Brindle<\/a>, St. Ives<\/a>, and Roman<\/a><\/span> \u2013 each encompasses a sense of calm and serenity to your home this year. And, best of all, the pieces are all 100% solid hardwood all through, from top to bottom and front to back.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019re sharing ideas on styling these ranges and why the lightest shades of furniture can be the perfect choice for nearly every home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why decorate with white furniture?<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Hove<\/p>\n

Alongside the colour associations we have with using white, light tone furniture will create a sense of space in your home. While darker stained furniture may feel visually \u2018heavier\u2019 in a room, white lends itself well to smaller areas or to emphasise a feeling of lightness and space in a larger one.<\/span><\/p>\n

White also reflects more natural light around a room, creating a bright and breezy feel that\u2019s so popular today. Thanks to its simplicity, it\u2019s easy to marry with nearly any other wood tones you may already have and mixes well with every colour palette.<\/span><\/p>\n

It can easily be incorporated into a room which is neutrally decorated. Combine it with shades of grey, taupe or natural wood and organic materials like houseplants, bamboo flooring or a sisal rug for a spa-like feel or to embrace the California vibe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Hove<\/p>\n

If you like a bolder look, consider painting your walls in darker or bolder shades and your white furniture becomes a stand-out piece, popping against its colourful backdrop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Roman \u2013 Feminine Botanical<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"Roman<\/p>\n

Our <\/span>Roman range<\/span><\/a> encompasses quiet simplicity in warm neutral finish and rustic oak tops tone with pewter coloured swirl handles. The slim legs on these pieces lift the furniture from the floor, creating a greater sense of space within a room and its light colour is the perfect choice for smaller spaces without compromising on quality or on style. Combine our Roman<\/a> pieces <\/span>with sage grey walls, sliver glass lighting, and green and pink accents for a soft and feminine look inspired by the beauty of nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

St. Ives \u2013 Cool Coastal<\/span><\/h2>\n
