The wonderful countryside in Autumn brings a rustic charm to inspiration. Long country walks, wrapping up warm and collecting wood, twigs, dried stalks, pine cones and feathers to create items for the home.

A Pure and Simple Lifestyle

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.

The revival of wood in product design reflects the simplicity and beauty in nature. Lighting, furniture and jewellery are just some of the many products available. There is a fabulous variety of texture and colour in wooden flooring today, from pale tones through to dark rich browns. If you haven't the depth to allow for real wood, or perhaps want a waterproof surface for a bathroom, vinyl has developed at such a pace that it very close to the look of natural wood. (example no.5 and no.14)

               A Wood Revival

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
