heart of the home

for whatever reason, a lot of the images i have been collecting recently are full of interiors with white as the main colour- white walls, white furniture. i always thought of myself as a colour fiend though so maybe this is just a growth in style, i like the combination of very neutral with dramatic additions of colour and print, maybe on a sofa or a huge framed piece of art on one wall.
my interior fantasy that never seems to change is a huge kitchen that has beautiful salvaged wood worktops with cupboards and dressers painted in a velvety, navy charcoal...with white wall tiles mixed with found patterned  tiles... a Belfast sink...steel chairs around the island unit....a bench covered in eclectic cushions on one side of a huge kitchen table so you can squeeze lots of bums around the table...industrial style lights over the work space and a gorgeous chandelier style low over the table...oh to dream!
below are some mood board images for my kitchen.

gorgeously stacked open shelves

think this looks great as well as being practical, also love the matt black

quirky chandelier
factory pendants
love the these patterned tiles
 units painted in farrow&ball, no31. railings

perfect sofa for guests to laze on while dinner is cooking
