Simplicity and purity in natural materials, clean lines with rustic overtones. Neutral colours and essential basics in the kitchen. An eco style where natural wood and linen compliment pure white for a clean, fresh look.

Simple French - Farmhouse Style

French country style, with the simplicity of white chalky plastered walls,

 simple, raw wood furniture and pale limestone floors.

Raw, Natural materials

Rustic ladder back chairs, raw bleached wood tables 

and terracotta smooth - worn tiles

In England we would call this simple essential design - Shaker style. 

The Shakers believed that every object in the home should have a function 

and that decoration was unnecessary. 

Scrubbed floors and table tops for basic essential living using natural materials.

Raw and understated

I am loving the simplicity of this uncluttered French farm house style

Kitchens - Black Touches

Black is a key colour in the kitchen.

I love this approach where black is used as an accent combined with natural materials, 

brick walls and wooden kitchen units.

Contemporary Spaces with groups of large scale lighting....love this look!

Black work surfaces with white units give traditional kitchens a contemporary feel in this Plain English kitchen

...the reverse, black units with white surfaces also give a traditional kitchen

concept a contemporary edge.

Raw wood - Eco Simplicity - Kitchen ware

Products from No21 Interiors which carry the simplicity of this natural trend

Dining benches are a fabulous way to create a relaxed country style to dining, and growing in popularity.  I am in the process of re-purposing my mis- matched chairs and changing to benches a quick and easy way to revamp a kitchen, and very practical for children.

Designs vary from traditional cross leg to straight leg. Rustic versions using reclaimed wood or traditional country styles in solid oak with a contemporary twist, such as these from www.topfurniture.co.uk
