Cool cork

Cork is back in a big way and is a hard-wearing, practical choice for flooring, as well as a soft, warm look in lighting and accessories. And for a humble material, it can make a statement. Cork mixes well with other materials so try using it alongside timber benchtops and furniture, leather detailing and gleaming white tiles to create a feast of texture. Clean, linear cabinetry will offset the warmth and curviness of this Scandinavian style, and hints of greenery unify the look.
