Blue Isle’s Pick of the Month: January

THE WEATHERED OAK CARVED MIRROR

This has to be one of our favourite pieces. It’s striking, it’s beautifully carved and it’s certainly a statement piece.

This carved and detailed circular frame is made of solid weathered oak so the colour is not over powering or too dark for such a large piece. At just over a metre in diameter, this mirror needs to take centre stage so we suggest placing it in a living room with soft neutral tones and splashes of colour. You can see our styling suggestions in the images above.

The most impressive feature of this mirror has to be the perimeter carving. Hand carved into solid, thick oak, it is incredibly intricate and very effective. You can see a close up view below.

Dimensions: 106 cm x 106 cm x 6 cm

Blue Isle’s Pick of the Month: October

THE GALLERY UPHOLSTERED DINING CHAIR

In this new series of articles, we will give you everything you need to know about the chosen item, from the materials used to make it to it’s details and dimensions, and of course, where we think it would look best in your home.

This month, we have chosen this glamorous and sophisticated piece from the Blue Isle collection. The ‘Gallery’ dining chair is upholstered in a smart and classic dark grey linen with the added detail of nickel studs to the front and rear. What really makes this piece stand out though, is the exciting ‘wings’ at the top of the chair. These add a little touch of style and actually make for a more comfortable seat.

The legs, as with many of our Blue Isle products are made entirely of weathered oak, the modern take on classic solid oak. The soft muted tones of the wood mean you don’t get the discolouration or fading associated with classic oak. It’s therefore, longer lasting and much easier to take care of. This softer colour also makes it easier to style with a range of décors, from more traditional interiors to contemporary coastal styles.

In the images above, you can see it fits well as a set of dining chairs around a large a table, perfect for Christmas dinner or those family get-togethers. However, we think it is equally at home as a desk chair, teamed below with a classic Beau-monde desk. If you have some rather elegant, traditional furniture in your home, the last thing you want it to have a standard office chair beside it. So, we think the ‘Gallery’ chair offers a much smarter alternative.
