the old black and white rug - the staple faithful!

While I tend to ere on the side of anonymity when it comes to decorating - i can think of nothing worse than people walking into a house and asking if you got the chairs at Space, the vase at temple and webster etc. I like a little surprise and a bit more of a unique aspect that isn't necessarily readily there on the High Street in its masses straight out of China.

Saying this - I am amazed at how frequently this Ikea rug does a good job under so many circumstances. Available world wide and probably sitting under something on every corner, it manages to always lift a scheme and add a certain cheekiness to a room.

black and white striped rug and a live edge table!


Black lacquer furniture, a beautifully arranged set of antique prints, a few golden accessories and a black and white striped rug... I will never get tired of it.

In the dining room: Navy walls, a vintage-style brass pendant light and a black and white striped rug come together here for a crisp, modern look. One red chair in the corner and an eclectic mix of art on the wall give this space a quirky edge.  Wall paint: Almost Black, Benjamin Moore

key investment pieces - the dining table

At Stamp one of the most common reasons that Clients come to us is because they are having troubles deciding on their big items. They have been living with the Uni/ post Uni or hand me down furniture for some time and they are looking to make the move to an object that screams 'them' and will make them pleased as punch for years to come.

The two major players are style and functionality. You will hate it if either of these criteria's are not met head on, and be back in the market for a newy within the year. We guarantee it!

 Today we thought we would show you some dining tables that have met both of these criteria's for some of our clients. A big thing to look for when choosing your next table is to be wary of the legs. Often Clients come to us with existing chairs and their eye on a new table and they are looking for reassurance before making the plunge. However the first thing we see is that their beautiful over sized wishbone chairs are not going to work with inverted splayed legs either when a poor dinner guest has to wrap their pins around a leg or a chair sits out awkwardly when not in use.

for more information on any of these tables please contact Stamp Interiors................
