Palette Bone and Black Kitchen
Palette Bone and Black Kitchen
Today I thought we might look at a few kitchens that have eschewed the traditional white for bone and shades of black… my dream kitchen would include some of these elements, like the stone floor below - perfection.
Rustic woods and stone floors.
No glam here - this is all about scale and simplicity, allowing the textures to speak for themselves.
Wish we could see this in the evening, with all those lights on...
Okay, its not really a kitchen, but its so darling! Those sconces completely make the vignette, right?
A black-stained plank floor laid in a herringbone fashion ground the space.
I love, love, love the understated hardware and slab backsplash - so quiet.
Rare for a kitchen to have this ethereal quality.
Small in stature but large in interest, the floor balances the black range and energizes the space.

Palette Bone and Black Art
Palette Bone and Black Art
Lets take the time-worn lustre of bone, and juxtapose it against the sharpness of black.... Opposites attract, yes?
Im going to do a few posts on this combination this week. The genius pieces of artist Jennifer Arment have caught my eye. Usually artists will pair black with a crisp pure white, but she chooses the softer palette. it adds a level of sophistication to her work. While the composition and simplicity of form are beautiful, its the wit, the tongue-in-cheekness that I love.
These are strong enough to stand alone, but wouldnt they be a welcome addition to a gallery wall paired with vintage oils, or some high contrast nature photography? Rooms that take themselves too seriously are boring, after all!
What do you think? Feeling this palette? The art?

Palette Bone and Black Inlaid Bone
Palette Bone and Black Inlaid Bone
So Ive been posting about bone and black this week, and of course must include inlaid bone furnishings. I cannot fathom the hours of work that go into these gems, it truly is an art form. In a quiet interior the pattern would add so much visual interest, yet is graphic enough that other colours and patterns can be played against. Wouldnt you love to have one of these pieces somewhere in your home?

Against a black wall? Heaven.

Can somebody please place one of these on either side of my bed? Thank you.

You can also use furniture inlaid with Mother of Pearl for a similar effect, just with a little more sheen. I prefer bone, it is more matte and allows the pattern to take centre stage. Is this something you would use in your home or for a client? Have used?
