One way or another

Interiors from Abode magazine - two dining room looks

Blush brunch

The Charlie Dining Table by Maison 55 at Frobisher provided the inspiration for a blush-themed brunch, with a contrasting backdrop of Resene Coral Tree and a playfully painted arch in Resene Prairie Sand with warm brass and rattan accents.

Contrasting shades combine with Resene Coral Tree and Resene Prairie Sand to create a warm and inviting space. The Charlie Dining Table from Frobisher brings a simple elegance with its beautiful arch motif playfully echoed in the backdrop. This elegant brunch setting has an effortless sophistication with golden shades in glass, brass and rattan to complement the warm blush tones.

Clear appeal

Striking simplicity

Versatile and stylishly simple, the seamlessly designed Charlie Dining Table by Maison 55 from Frobisher has been crafted with a natural light oak finish, complemented by supporting satin brass finished accents.

For all occasions

Many good things come on trays, from breakfast in bed to five o’clock drinks. This All Day Tray is available in a range of colours from Ballantynes, and the Adobe colour is the perfect match for a light brunch of macarons with champagne and strawberries.

Clear appeal

Coloured glass brings instant appeal to any table. This golden yellow vase is beautifully crafted with recycled glass. Styled here with proteas, you can also try dried flowers for a long-lasting display to bring added colour and texture to your space.

Cool curves

Light up any space with the elegant curves of the Soho Brass Floor Lamp from Melbourne based design studio Madras Link available from Ballantynes. Here the floor lamp complements the arch motif of the table and wall while adding the contrasting warmth of brass.

Dark luxe

Here a luxuriously earthy palette of Resene Bronze with bespoke art in Resene Bullion bring a natural sophistication to the Charlie Dining Table by Maison 55 from Frobisher, with accessories in natural materials and tones.

Nothing says indulgent luxury quite like the combined shades of chocolate and gold, embodied here with the wall in Resene Bronze and handmade art pieces in Resene Bullion. The luxury has been given a paired-back natural vibe with accents in jute, glass, pottery, wood and bronzed brass. The scene is set for an intimate evening of relaxed entertaining. A comforting cocoon of earthy delights.

Portable power

Butterscotch and chocolate

Bring in unique combinations of stoneware and glass to add tonal layers of interest. This sculptural water jug in chocolate and the glass vase with brass detail in butterscotch create an earth-toned vignette.

Natural style

The rattan Dustin chair from Frobisher is at home with almost any table and is a versatile piece to update your dining room for a more contemporary, natural style. The black framing brings a sophisticated edge to this earthy look.

Grounded gold

The natural jute tones of this handwoven rug have a grounding effect, adding warmth and texture without overpowering the room. Jute is perfect for creating a relaxed interior and works beautifully with other natural materials such as rattan.

Portable power

Bring the inviting atmosphere of candlelight into your space with a portable LED Lamp. The natural bronze tones and curved shape of this rechargeable light complement any space and can follow your evening from dining to living spaces.
