Creating furniture with the right colour palette is extremely important if you are aiming to astonish with your project.

Natural tendencies are foreseen, earthy shades, sandy hues. Specifically keep an eye on smokey grey, tending to go a bit in the direction of blue hues like navy blue. In general, the key colours are based on neutral tones, many of them having a beautiful ambivalence – especially in the case of colours like khaki olive or the blue navy.

To inspire you, Covet House has selected a series of pieces that will make you surrender to the new Winter colours…

Piccadilly Mirror – Boca do Lobo: Piccadilly Mirror is a result of new concepts that featured impossible constructions, explorations of the infinity, architecture and tessellations. With a convex mirror, its frame is made in highly handcrafted poplar. The mirror is a perfect reflection of the masters at work here at Boca do Lobo Design Studio. This piece is perfect for exteriors, with neutral tones.

Miles Floor Lamp – Delightfull: “For me, music and life are all about style” said Miles Davis. Miles standing lamp brings back the atmosphere of sophistication inspired by the 1950s. With a complexity not visible at first sight, like the eye catcher gold plated frame, black marble base and the gold pendant switch, it casts a smooth light that will surely make you feel in a “Kind of Blue” mood.

Journey Armchair – Brabbu: Journey armchair is the way to live calm and introspective moments. Made in synthetic leather, it’s texture takes you to a place where time does not go by and good moments are carved into eternity. Journey is a strong yet peaceful piece ideal for a modern decor.

Ambar Rug – The Rug Society: Although neutral tones are the focus of next winter it’s possible to highlight tones, earthy sienna, browns that have grey tones and to top everything we have olive green, pale pink, aquamarine and mustard yellow. Having this in mind, Rug’s Society presents its Ambar Rug. With a bold graphic design and a creation without limits; a 100% handmade product that transforms the comfort and beauty of your project.

Mimi Bar Chair – Koket: Navy blue is probably the most peculiar colour to look forward to this winter. Because of that, Koket brings this wonderful bar chair. Mimi is the sophisticated and flirty girl-next-door of barstools. This simple but sweet cozy design hugs your body in cozy upholstery fabric. Its attractive body with modern curves is accented by long metal legs.

Guggenheim Chandelier – Luxxu: The Guggenheim Museum is considered to be the “temple of the spirit”. Furthermore, it is the most important structure of its time. As a result of the leading-edge architecture, the Guggenheim chandelier was designed. Another piece in black, classic and chic, it will definitely satisfy your desire for refinement and fit perfect in your winter décor.

Agata Lotus Panel – Maison Valentina: This art panel inspired by the Agatha’s mineral stone has a gathering of layers resembling the shape of the Lotus Flower, a plant that has a symbolism of purity, rebirth and divinity in the Buddhism and Hinduism religions. This art panel is based on the use of acrylic colours assortment and resin materials which blended with digital art and handmade techniques allows the creation of distinctive elements and repeated patterns. The art panels can be customised through graphic and handmade artistic touches and created in different sizes to create unique ambiences. A jewel for the most royal bathrooms.

Kelly Bar Chair – Essential Home: Continuing in the neutral tones, Essential Home presents a mid-century bar chair. Remember Casablanca barstools? Now bring it to the present time, add a modern touch and an explosion of colour. The whole shape and golden base of Kelly Chair can make you feel that you just walked into a 1950 luxurious bar. The shape of the back support is made to endure and be comfortable, that could be translated into hours spent at the bar, enjoying a cocktail or two.

Feel comfortable and warm this winter, with these eccentric pieces that Covet House has selected and celebrates the design in the best way possible.
