TrendLife Interiors

Hi-shine black and white interiors create an ethereal simplicity. The look is serene, almost otherworldly, yet combined with some carefully chosen accessories, can be welcoming and warm.

Brand Manager for Sunwood, Michelle Cooke, advises, “The trick to using monotones is to layer different shades and surface finishes, thereby creating depth and texture”.

Shiny or lacquered surfaces are everywhere this season. Their high-gloss finish reflects light around the room, preventing the black looking too dark and creating a touch of glamour to any home.

With the Moroccan influence set to be the key trend in AW10 homewares, the Flora bed is a must for the fashion forward. Its studded headboard will bring more than a hint of Casablanca chic to any bedroom without any need to haggle in the Kasbah.
