The Dark Side

Light vs. dark in interiors isn’t a new topic in terms of home décor conversation but is still one which divides people it seems. With the long winter nights upon us, now is a good time to try to encourage people to venture to the dark side.

Design boards from Nest Interior Design

Welcome to our latest article, this month, we have decided to change the way we do things a little. We thought that M&D readers might be interested to see some real life design boards similar to what our customers receive.

The big question is how to house the overnight guests without having to play musical beds with the whole family.

‘All together now’

We’re increasingly asked by clients to create a space where all the family can escape the frantic pace of life for a few hours. Often referred to as ‘The Den’, this room could be for watching films, reading, listening to music, playing instruments or board games. Most importantly, it is for relaxing and being together.
