Get the Look: The Ink Drop Collection

Creating a cosy and romantic space, the Ink Drop collection is inspired by the mood of old book shops from times gone by. Colours inspired by the ink from a quill to the texture of parchment paper, think snuggly corners, warming candlelight and enchanting stories read by the fireplace. Try styling rich fern greens with strong black furniture for a powerful, moody aesthetic that is sure to create a space that is inviting and opulent this season. 

Furniture

Create an inviting living room with dark décor and sleek black furniture to really create a bold and impactful look. The beautiful Rayna collection includes Art Deco-inspired design with pieces like the console or sideboard which would make a perfect drinks cabinet for the living room. Embrace jewel tones with the Ava armchair in ink velvet and create a striking contemporary aesthetic with the Myla black marble coffee table. Continue the dark trend throughout other parts of your home with our black solid acacia wood Jade dining table or the Amelia and ink blue Freya dining set.  

Jewel Tones

The Ink Drop collection celebrates dark hues and jewel tones to create that cosy feel. Textures like velvet portray that sense of luxury and richness, creating an inviting and cosy space. Elevate your living room with the ink blue velvet Ava sofa or armchair. Mix jewel tones together by adding cushions in green or teal velvet to create a cohesive look. Reflective surfaces and metallic elements all complement jewel tones so introducing decorative mirrors, gold ornaments like the Overton or furniture with gold design details will create a chic look.

Lighting & Mood

How you light a room plays a huge part in creating the right ambience. The Ink Drop collection is all about snuggly corners and embracing a cosy atmosphere, therefore bright lighting is not the way to go. Create layered lighting with wall lights, table lamps like the Eltham in teal as well as lanterns, candles and tea light holders. Considered lighting like this will all add to the romanticism of Ink Drop and its moody aesthetic. If you have a fireplace or log burner this will elevate that feel of cosiness, perfect for the winter season. Dress the mantlepiece with gold decorative pieces and perhaps a few stacked books to complete the look.

Accessories

Add pattern and layers with throws or cushions like the beautiful abstract Holbeck cushion cover or the fern green velvet cushion cover. You could layer a few cushions together on the sofa to create a warm and snuggly look, perfect for curling up with a good book and a hot chocolate. Adding a rug like the Atcham pebble effect rug made with wool and cotton will add warmth and texture to the room. A soft foot stool like the velvet Penelope also adds texture and doubles up as a handy side table.

Using decorative gold tone accessories like the Herriad lanterns will not only add interest to the space but it will complement the inky tones of velvet perfectly and tie in with the gold details featured in the Rayna collection.
