For 2020 Pantone’s reigning hue is a classic blue: an indulgent colour perfect for elevating a room from ordinary into opulent. Reminiscent of a dusky evening sky, Pantone’s 19-4052 is said to foster feelings of resilience and tranquillity. Two qualities much sought after in the calm of our own homes, we are thrilled with this choice of colour for the year ahead. With peace and comfort firmly in mind we’ve put together a mood board to reach for when you’re feeling blue and need some interior inspiration…

Get tactile! Create a soothing but stylish living space or bedroom with textured linen cushion covers, and an indulgent luxury feel in the bedroom with our sumptuous velvets. In neutral décor cool tones will lift the room without drastically changing the look by simply enhancing what is already there. For more of a punch, deeper blue and jewel tones enrich your already stylish space with an on-trend shock of colour. Whether you’re feeling modern rustic boho or embracing classic country cottage decor, the great thing about cushions is that you can mix and match wherever you are, whenever you want.

Choose from our cool cottons, luxurious silks and satins, soft linens and the rich nap of our velvets to adorn your favourite light fixtures. Timeless and classic, these styles will take pride of place in both period and contemporary interiors. Top your lamps with plain or pattern, dark or light, and enjoy the enduring and elegant appeal of classic blue.

Brass and more brass..! We have long coveted the perfect blue to go with our Antiqued Brass accessories, and know that many of our customers create gorgeous combinations with deep blue paints.

Here we’ve paired Farrow & Ball’s Downpipe with our brass lighting. For living areas and studies try our best-selling Club (pictured) or our stunning Curtis Spotlight, then pair with matching switches and sockets for the complete look. The warmth of our lightly Antiqued finish truly sings against the cooler grey-blue, creating a stylish backdrop for your room that still allows you to introduce other accents of colour.

This is where our new velvet comes in. A richly tactile fabric in Burnt Orange, this latest addition to the Hunstanton Collection will create a sense of drama wherever it is used, perfect for providing a touch of luxury and playfulness against cooler tones. An ideal fit for modern rustic homes, this bold Burnt Orange can be used to contrast or blend, working beautifully with the season’s popular faded earth and gold tones if you prefer a more mellow look. Modelled by our Fluted Harleston Table Lamp, you can also purchase this velvet as a cut length, a cushion cover and in a variety of shade shapes and sizes. What will you style with Classic Blue?

A boot room, a porch, a utility room. These practical spaces might be where you shove your dog walking shoes and hide your coats to keep the rest of the house tidy, but whether it’s the entrance to your home or a tucked away room, there’s no need to overlook this wonderful styling opportunity.

If this area is cluttered it’s not actually serving its purpose. You want neat, space saving solutions to make the most out of a room that is designed to be a transitional storage space. We’ve put together a short and sweet summary on using our products to make the most out of a practical room whilst ensuring it looks its best…

Having coats and bags protruding from wall space can make a room feel too busy. Using our hooks in the nook of fitted cabinetry is a thoughtful solution, leaving the floor space of your boot room to feel open, spacious and uncluttered with plenty of tucked away storage for those necessities.

As demonstrated by customers @holly_oak_house and @casa.stook, our Chandler hooks look stunning in both Matt Black and Antiqued Brass, particularly popular against soft grey cabinetry. The longest double hook in our range, the Chandler Coat Hook is a simple, elegant item that will provide ample storage as well as a touch of charming modern country. If you’re after a full rack or something a little chunkier, take a look at our full collection.

Something we hope you don’t need, but (coming from a British company – you know we like to talk about the weather) it’s inevitable that you will. The Hardwick Hat Stand creates a great storage area out of often unused corner space. The slim and elegant design makes it a great accompaniment to any hallway, porch or boot room. We have fitted it with a tray at the bottom for catching rain water which is easily removed for draining. As well as for holding your hats, the hooks at the top are perfect for keys or other personal effects.

Inspired by the vintage luggage racks found on steam and slam door trains, our Wendle Luggage Rack is designed to be as beautiful as it is practical and could be the perfect storage solution for a stylish hallway or utility. Hand forged in solid steel, it features a gently curving shelf to stop hats, bags, throws and blankets from falling off. It also comes supplied with seven generously large hooks, three of them cleverly incorporated into the curving side and centre brackets, to allow plenty of room to hang coats, jackets, scarves and dog leads.

In a room meant for storage, cupboards and drawers are an essential. No matter the style, it’s easy to add beautiful finishing touches with knobs and pulls for a cohesive, thought-through look. To add a textural quality and warmth, turning to Antiqued Brass or Heritage Copper with our collection of handcrafted cupboard knobs, drawer pulls and cabinet handles is the way to go. Our beautifully forged fixtures and fittings help to bring the room together with robust materials that show off our classic modern country style.

We love seeing customers embracing our hand forged accessories. Our Matt Black Heart Knocker compliments this gentle off white porch from @marshlands0 perfectly, creating a sharp entrance to their traditional boot room decor. A stylish entrance is so important, ensuring your and your guests feel welcomed every time you step through the door. For more front door decor ideas view our full collection of door accessories here.

As period property lovers, a traditional basket is a go-to, ideal for wood, throws and even shoes that you kick off in a hurry by the door. If you are after a contemporary basket, our Chappel Log Basket is a forged iron construction perfect for log storage and folded blankets.

Last but never least, the lighting! Accent and task lighting is ideal for boot and utility rooms, adhering to the practical nature of the space. This delightful utility room from @humphreymunson features a pair of Club Wall Lights in Antiqued Brass. The brass detailing lifts the room beautifully, proof that this finish works in rooms of all shapes and sizes and tones. Photographed by @paullmcraig.⁠⠀

We love this customer photo from @our.country.home. Our Holt lights are perfect suitors here, lending themselves to more narrow spaces than the slightly broader Club. Function should not overtake comfort, so why not add some sheepskins like they have, or incorporate some plush cushions into the area? We suggest trying out our new Hunstanton velvets for a touch of luxury and softness.

Combining pendants with spotlights creates layers of lighting that you can opt in and out of depending on your need. Our vintage-look Weston Pendant Light is perfect for those small spaces in your kitchen, utility, cloakroom or hallway, where it can be used alongside your existing spotlights (like these dainty Cranfield lights) or recessed lights to inject a little character into your scheme.

If you don’t have space for several types of lighting, we suggest trying our adjustable wall lights for areas that need a bright direct lift. Our Aldgate Wall Light is an industrial inspired design that makes a bold statement in contemporary home after a retro look. It has an adjustable head, so can light as much or as little of the area as needed. Browse through our spotlights and wall lights to find more easy to manoeuvre, adjustable lighting.

No matter your interior design preferences, our range of finishes allow you to choose from an abundance of designs that not only look great but serve a vital role in these functional spaces. From the finer details to integral lighting solutions, we’ve got everything you need to kit out your boot and utility rooms with practicality and style.

We can sing all day about how wonderful our products are, but it means nothing without the support and feedback from our customers. With this in mind, we thought we would identify and highlight the items most popular with you, showcasing the most loved and ‘in demand’ lights from our collection.

We’ve compiled a list of our best selling lights, celebrating the products our customers return to again and again. This is our list, recommended by you…

If you’ve had the pleasure of seeing this Orla Pendant in person it’s no surprise she is a top seller. Like her smaller sisters, the Ava and Mia, our Orla features a beautiful tear drop, fluted glass shade so you can enjoy its delicate hues wherever it is hung.

Designed to sit perfectly above a kitchen island, breakfast bar or dining table, the transparent quality of the hand blown glass allows you to create a stunning focal point without losing any sense of space.

The Lovell’s hand blown glass shade has a clean contemporary shape, while its antiqued brass fittings, heritage-look brown braided cable and Georgian ceiling rose are all reminiscent of vintage lighting.

An ideal pendant for kitchens, we’ve found the Lovell looks best hung in a trio or pair over an island. The clear glass shade enables you to see the internal brass fittings which gives it a touch of industrial chic that will suit any modern home and makes it an ideal choice for updating a traditional one.

One of the first lights we designed at Jim Lawrence – and still one of the most popular – our Double Cottage Wall Light has a strong, unfussy design that is ideal for country modern interiors and lends itself for use in bedrooms, kitchen diners and living rooms.

Its fine proportions, beautiful ribbon detailing and generously sized drip trays exudes an elegant simplicity. Lovingly hand forged from solid brass that has been lightly antiqued for an aged look, the Double Cottage Wall Light is an excellent choice for anyone wishing to update their interior without losing any sense of period charm. It goes in just about any room, always looking right at home.

Our take on the traditional lighting you find in gentlemen’s clubs, the Club Wall Light has a neat unfussy, vintage presence that produces a lovely pool of light for a subdued atmosphere in a large room or for tasking if placed over a kitchen unit or a console table.

Hand forged from solid natural brass and featuring a spun brass shade which directs its light downwards, the Club Wall Light is made here at Jim Lawrence using traditional brass working techniques highlights the skill of our metal workers and their ability to make lights with a timeless quality.

Our lovely vintage style Raydon Wall Light oozes an industrial chic that will add a designer touch to your bathroom, loo or shower room. IP rated for use outdoors or in a bathroom, it looks fabulous hung either side of a mirror and sits as comfortably in a modern setting as it does a traditional one.

With its slightly opaque, tubular, fluted glass shade and unadorned backplate, the Raydon has a personality that is reminiscent of the factory lighting schemes that prevailed during the interwar years when modernism was in vogue and designers were looking for new ways to make products with an emphasis on simplicity and function. They fit perfectly within our Stratford Bathroom Range.

A favourite with interior designers, our Cheltenham is a stunning wall light handmade from solid natural brass that combines the very best of period styling with modern technology to produce a beautiful yet robust light with a smack of industrial chic about it. With its beautifully fluted, slightly opaque, individually hand blown glass shade, it is reminiscent of art deco styles that were popular during the 1920s when designers looked to modern architecture, ships, motor cars and trains for geometric patterns they could recreate around the home. We love seeing the myriad ways the Cheltenham is styled by both designers and customers on Instagram – it really goes to show how versatile this little light can be.

The Bulkhead Outdoor Light is a handsome, retro-style garden wall light with a robust and practical styling that is reminiscent of shipping and industrial days gone by. A fabulous addition to our garden lighting range, it has been hand cast in solid, natural brass which gives it a wonderful weighty quality that will brighten up your exterior walls, porch or outbuildings.

This light was originally designed with Jim’s family farm in mind as he wanted to create a stylish and practical outdoor light that would conceal ugly exterior wires on his outbuildings. It’s a fantastic example of British design and manufacture and was even shortlisted as ‘Product of the Year’ at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Featuring a hand blown, clear glass shade, set in a vintage-style brass cage with a deep backplate and decorative screw fixings, the Bulkhead will weather any storm and is the perfect finishing touch to any garden design. Its IP44 rating means it’s also suitable in bathrooms for an impactful punch of industrial luxe.

Our solid brass Canterbury Lantern is a stunningly handsome outdoor pendant light that will instantly create an impact switched on or off thanks to its robust quality and grand proportions.

In its making, we were inspired by the beauty of Georgian and Victorian carriage lanterns that we have reimagined in a more contemporary and practical style for today’s homes. Our Canterbury is hand forged from solid, natural brass that has been lightly antiqued for a subtle, aged appearance and is IP rated 33 to ensure it will withstand everything that the British weather can throw at it.

Each of these lights bring a unique design to the table, and as they’re always hand forged and finished by us, the quality never wavers either. We are thrilled that our customers choose to come back to us for these reasons. We never forsake style for function, and love that these Jim Lawrence favourites are now a staple in your homes. If you’d like to find out how your favourite lights are made and see behind the scenes in our Suffolk workshop, read our Meet The Makers interviews.

You probably know about our popular curtain poles or very Instagram-friendly Heart Door knocker. You might even own our sought after Cheltenham Bathroom Lights. We have many items that you can recognise quickly as a Jim Lawrence design, but with over 8,000 products there’s plenty that you might not know you needed. We aren’t here to tell you what to buy, but we do know a thing or two that could help make that decision a little easier…

With many of our customers living in period homes attracted to our vintage style, we have developed some clever solutions to some common home styling predicaments that tend to arise in older homes. Here are ten accessories you didn’t know you needed, helping you to make the best of your interior and exterior design.

Our 1 and 2 gang Surface Mounting Boxes are finished to match our electrical switch and socket plates. Ideal for use where it’s not practical (or possible) to make a hole in a wall or a beam, to conceal the necessary electrical fittings for your switches and sockets.

Draw your curtains without having to reach them by hand using these fine iron draw rods which are available in a choice of finishes to match your curtain poles. When attached to the last ring of each curtain, they will help keep your curtain fabric clean on the leading edge and are ideal for tall, hard to reach windows. They are designed to hang discreetly behind the curtain edge – the simple forged detail clips very easily to a curtain ring.

This ingenious ceiling hook creates the look of a forged hook without requiring the removal of an existing plastic ceiling rose, as it screws over the top of the existing one. This product is an excellent solution for renters or those wanting to bring a period charm to newer properties. The Gifford covers a standard 80mm diameter ceiling rose as well as smaller sizes if need be. Made from brass, it has a beautiful antiqued finish to enhance your lighting and interior with a simple slide-on design.

A stylish hand crafted wall mounted door stop, the Bembridge Door Stop is available in brass and steel finishes. A sometimes overlooked detail, this small but significant tool is great for preventing your door from opening too widely and any of your lovely Jim Lawrence door handles getting damaged or marking your walls. For an alternative design look to our Boynton Door Stop.

Why not add a sophisticated slant to your ceiling pendant lighting with our clever Pendant Flex Ceiling Hook. With our customary attention to detail, we have designed this ingenious little hook so that you can position your pendant in the perfect spot, no matter where the ceiling rose and wiring are situated.

To complete the look and help you with your repositioning, we offer additional braided cable lengths on many of our pendants – simply call our helpful sales team for more information.

Sometimes when installing outdoor lighting (which we have plenty of) often the practical side more is overshadowed by the ‘wow I have to have that light!’ side… Sometimes outdoor lighting can present some interesting dilemas, such as external wiring. We have the perfect solution for transforming drooping wires from a nuisance into a stunning external feature. Our Antiqued Brass Conduit is a smart way to hide ugly exterior wiring, particularly when combined with our slim Doncaster Wall Light or Bulkhead Light.

We want to make sure our conduit kits are a breeze to install, so don’t forget to read our easy “how-to” guide to assembling your own.

This neat backplate pattress enables wiring to be fitted externally if required. For example, perhaps the Fisher Wall Lights (pictured) are exactly what you’re after for your living room? If there is insufficient space in the wall for internal wiring, you can now purchase one of our pattresses to house the wiring connection externally. This pattress works with a wide range of ceiling roses and wall light back plates and comes in all corresponding colourways to give you a subtle but practical wiring solution. We have also created an equivalent pattress for our pendant lighting to match our Georgian Ceiling Rose.

Ideal for any door in your home, Jim Lawrence hooks are a fantastic way to clean up clutter where space is tight or keep your favourite coats, dressing gowns or kitchen utensils close at hand. Choose from a selection of individual hooks, hook racks and shelves in a range of finishes to ensure you get the right look.

Top tip: Our Beeswax finish is made using traditional technique used since Tudor times. The metal is heated until it darkens and then dipped in natural beeswax which gives is a lovely soft black wrought iron effect. Whilst this looks stunning in all settings, we do not recommend the beeswax finish for hanging up damp items and for use in bathrooms or outdoors, as it may rust in a humid environment. We feel that Matt Black is the preferable option.

We can’t imagine an Escutcheon is the first thing you think of when styling your home, but it shouldn’t be the last! These small details complete your overall look and prove particularly useful… Spring might be on the horizon, but there’s nothing worse than a cold breeze sneaking in to the home and an exposed keyhole might just be the culprit. Available in a variety of finishes and designs to suit your architecture and other door furniture, our Escutcheon’s feature a traditional keyhole shaped surround with a flap that will keep out the draft all year round.

We have found that making a feature out of the quirks of period homes is often the best way to enjoy them. A hinged design that fits into the floor, this 2 Gang Floor Socket is the dreamy modern rustic detail you might not have thought of, but now know you need! A great solution when you don’t want wires stretching around the room or have limited wall space, you can enjoy floor or table lamps in more central spots around the room, or use them for other portable accessories.

These are just a handful of items that we have constructed to make sure everyone can enjoy a bit of Jim Lawrence in the home. To view all of our lighting and home accessories visit our website.

With Spring on the way, what better way to create a fresh new look than by restyling your room with our hugely popular Featherdown fabric in a beautiful new colourway – Duck Egg Blue.

This lovely fabric features the Featherdown’s delicate feathers on a pale blue background, a perfect fit for this season’s pastel trends. Elegant neutrals are here to stay, and this soft blue-grey will blend effortlessly with warm and cool tones, bringing modern country design to both parred back and busier schemes.

Available as a candle shade, cushion cover or cut length of fabric, this natural cotton has a tight weave and uniform appearance which makes a lovely alternative to linen. Offering a pretty country style print and muted colours, this new fabric perfectly encapsulates and celebrates our Great British heritage.

Complement your soft furnishings with our original Featherdown fabric in stone. According to Elle Décor, warmer earthy pastels will be making a name for themselves this year, with colour trends shifting to more organic and earthy tones. With its soft shades of brown, grey and duck egg blue, it has a soft, countryside feel to it that will combine perfectly with your existing neutrals to take you through the year.

Known for its versatility, cotton is one of the most commonly used fabrics for lamp shade making as it is lightweight, durable and has a softness which is ideal for diffusing light evenly around a room. Accessorise with brass accents or gunmetal grey fittings to achieve the most up to date look. Our favourite way to showcase this colourway is as a candle shade paired with our antiqued wall lighting. The Featherdown will bring a little playfulness to the warm glow of your interior…

You don’t have to revamp an entire room for your spring clean! Just switching the materials and colours of cushions in a room can totally transform the atmosphere. As always, no matter the fabric, all of our cushions, shades, curtains and blinds are handmade here in our Suffolk workshop by our talented soft furnishings team.

Jim and Sheena, his wife and business co-owner, began the business you see today from humble roots at their kitchen table in 1994. As time passed and orders increased, business outgrew the farm buildings it was housed in. Customers, staff and delivery men struggled daily down a bumpy farm track to find it. Since most of the staff came from the nearby market town of Hadleigh, Jim moved the company there in 2008, taking over an empty bottling factory on the outskirts of town that came with lots of room for workshops, offices and a warehouse.

We’ve shared a tour of the stunning historic Walcot Street, the location of our new showroom, but realise we hadn’t shown you around our first home. Time to give our Suffolk location a little love…

You will find our beautiful Suffolk showroom in the historic market town of Hadleigh where our shop and workshop is located on Lady Lane just off the A1071 Ipswich Road. Our showroom houses our entire range of over 8,000 products. You can see how stunning our lights look in situ and use our displays to find inspiration for your window, door and bathroom accessories. While you are here you could pop into the centre of Hadleigh for a coffee and bite to eat and wander along the old High Street, marvel at its beautiful old buildings and eclectic mix of shops, services, restaurants, cafés and pubs that are known for their individuality, quality and care.

Hadleigh is an ancient market town full of character and history, set in the lush and fertile valley of the River Brett. Once an immensely wealthy wool and cloth town, the manor of Hadleigh was given to the Priory of Canterbury Cathedral in the 13th century meaning it was under direct control of the Archbishop of Canterbury for hundreds of years. These days you will find many attractions such as local treasure Ferguson’s Delicatessen, go-to brunch spot the Jet Lounge and of course the nearby Marquis Hotel & Restaurant, which features many of our Jim Lawrence lights.

If you want to get your teeth into the local shops, there’s no better place to start than Hadleigh’s Old Bakery, now a vintage Emporium, stuffed to the brim with unique and antique finds. Along the highstreet you will find a selection of independent clothing and gift shops to enjoy too. In the tucked away Maiden Way just off the main thoroughfare you will find The Little Grey Bird,  who are stockists of lovely hand-painted furniture. Here you will also find Mung Bean, Hadleigh’s local organic wholefoods store.

If there’s one place you need to pop your head into, it’s the Adnam’s shop. Adnam’s brew amazing beers and spirits from grain-to-glass in the nearby coastal town of Southwold, and their shop is stocked with their finest drinks and barware. You can even pop in for a tasting after visiting our showroom, why not?

If you’ve come by for the history, Hadleigh retains many of the 15th-century brick and timber framed buildings. Suffolk is famous it’s historic architecture, and Hadleigh has no less than 246 listed buildings; four of them Grade 1 – The Guildhall, St Mary’s Church, the Deanery Tower and the Coffee Tavern in the High Street where you can see beautifully detailed 17th century decorative plasterwork or ‘pargeting’. The town lies in the heart of Constable Country, so called because it produced two of our most famous artists – John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough – who were born and lived nearby and whose paintings celebrate the beauty of our big Suffolk skies and idyllic countryside.

As many of our lighting designs are inspired by our Great British heritage, we feel it’s our duty to appreciate the history of our surroundings. You’ll notice that many of our products are named after nearby locations across Suffolk and Norfolk. From hints of the coastline in our Scallop Wall Light and delicate strands of wheat in our Sussex Lights, the surroundings from which we built our brand upon are ever present in our design work.

Whether East or West, we hope you can visit us in one of our beautiful showrooms where we do our utmost to honour the modern country style we know you love.

Come and say hello to at The Ironworks, Lady Lane, Hadleigh, Suffolk, IP7 6BQ. To see a little more of our showroom online and learn a little more about how we operate behind the scenes, read our interview with the showroom team. Feel free to give us a call on 01473 826685 or drop us an email at sales@jim-lawrence.co.uk. We hope to see you soon!

Enjoy an authentic country interior by inviting metallic copper tones into your home. A striking accent colour for lighting fixtures and fittings, unlike a classic silver or a bold gold, copper lends a subtle blush warmth to your decor. Our Heritage Copper is a natural durable metal with a stunning patina that looks fabulous in period and modern homes alike.

Our Fulbourn’s, Ava’s, Walcot’s and Holborn’s are all available in a copper finish, which paired with our hand blown glass shades creates a bright and airy sense of space whilst maintaining a popular metallic accent that you can match with the finer details in your home.

The fluted hand blown glass of the Fulbourn is a striking choice, creating the illusion of softness whilst still illuminating your space with its warm white light.

Our popular teardrop Ava looks gorgeous in any room. The blush tones of our copper adds further interest to this already sought-after shade.

A go-to for kitchens and dining rooms, the Walcot would look wonderful teamed up with a display of authentic copper pots and pans in a traditional country home.
Keep it simple. The crisp clear sphere of the Holborn shade keeps your space feeling open and light,

A home needs balanced lighting, so why not choose a solid spun shade to compliment a pendant within your home? If hand blown glass isn’t right for you, a full copper shade is perfect for a room than needs a focal point.

For rooms that need a lift in hard to reach places, our copper Curtis Spot Lights are a practical, modern choice that still blend effortlessly into a period room.

Copper fittings look fabulous when matched together, creating a chic uniform look with their soft, buffed patina. Combine neutral linen with copper detailing such as handles, switches and sockets for a natural earthy look. LINEN – allowing for a perfect modern country marriage when paired with the rustic nature of our heritage copper metalwork.

Our Heritage Copper products are created by our team of craftsmen who hand finish each solid copper piece with an antiquing solution to accelerate the natural process of tarnishing. This process produces our beautifully soft, heritage finish suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. A free metal swatch is available on request if you need a little help to decide!

As our Heritage Copper products use natural, un-lacquered copper, it will continue to age and develop a darker dull patina over time in your home. This is particularly hastened in damp or harsh outdoor environments. To decelerate this aging process we recommend applying a good quality metal cleaning solution to the tarnished areas. Simply work the cleaning solution in by rubbing briskly with a soft cloth and then buff the copper to restore its original lustre. Please note that chemical polishes can strip away the original antiquing solution too so take care to use cleaning products sparingly to retain the aged heritage look of the product.

We are very proud of the quality of our workmanship and designs that we feel highlight the skill of our metal workers and their ability to make products that suit both contemporary and period properties. To learn more about how to take care of all of our unique finishes, click here.

We’ve highlighted our favourite Jim Lawrence products to layer up for the season, ensuring your home is not only in style, but ready to truly enjoy as you spend more time inside of it this autumn.

Thinking of using bright reds in the home can seem quite severe, but when autumn comes around dark and faded variations of this bold colour are elegant and a perfect fit for modern rustic homes. Working beautifully with metallic finishes, our Old Red Faux Silk Candle Shades are a great match paired with the Antiqued Brass Double Brancaster Wall Light. Earthy spiced tones are certainly on trend, but can be translated in softer ways like muted and dusky yellows and oranges if you prefer something a little more mellow. Try these shades in our Bark Satin for a deep nutmeg colour, or a Dull Gold Faux Silk for a gilded touch.

You will be familiar with our popular Antiqued Brass finish, but we are always finding new ways to style and use it. On-trend brass adds a subtle shine to minimal spaces and warmth to neutral rooms, and this can be done so seamlessly with simple but effective additions. We’ve chosen to highlight the gorgeous yet sturdy Peterhouse Desk Lamp, which embraces the classic bankers lamp style but made for modern life. Hand cast in solid brass, this little lamp is ideal for home offices, bedsides and console tables to lift autumnal evenings with its warm glow.

If you want to layer up this finish upon your existing Jim Lawrence lights, accessorising throughout the room creates a cohesive look. These sweet Larder Pulls truly suit any room of the house, thanks to its understated character and design. Try fitting them to any kitchen, bedroom or living room cabinet, chest of drawers or cupboard to instantly boost the vintage charm.

You can’t have autumn without woollen accessories. Our heritage collection is layered with traditional tweeds in granites, checks and heathers: a selection of beautifully textured wool fabrics for your country curtains and cushions. We’ve highlighted the soft Stirling Lovat Wool in Check, a fabric exclusively woven for Jim Lawrence by ‘the home of tweed’ at the Lovat Mill. This predominantly grey colourway is ideal for this time of year, evoking September strolls along the Scottish landscape of rivers and lochs. The 100% wool weight of this fabric is a dream for curtains, framing windows with a sloping drape and lined to see you through winter.

No house is complete without our little Samworth Oil Lamp. No matter your home style, this hand blown glass oil lamp features a hint of brass, and sits comfortably on bedsides, consoles or just about anywhere you like it, really! You can refill it too, allowing you to enjoy its flickering flame across all four seasons.

With our focus on natural materials, it’s only right to include some foliate decoration! Dried flowers and leaves give off an antiqued feel of their own, with a crisp golden ‘patina’ that is both seasonal and pretty in autumnal décor. Softer than vibrant bouquets, wheat, pampas grass and hydrangeas create a delicate arrangement perfect for vintage-inspired homes. Why not add in some poppy pods and cotton for some height? They’re low maintenance and go hand in hand with all of our golden and spiced seasonal tones.

September is with us and there’s already a hint of chill in the air that was absent just days before. We’re looking forward to embracing autumn and the cosy late afternoons and evenings that are to unfold with the season. Think golden September sunsets, rummaging for last years knitwear, dimming the lights and bonfire smoke in the distance. Autumn in the country can prove mulchy, frosty and sometimes damp, but when your home is prepared you’ll be ready to hunker down and enjoy the season at its finest.

This gorgeous exposed brick room started its life as Jim’s old bull pen at the farm. Now designed as a sitting room or snug, it was vital to layer this rustic space with pools of light from different sources to ensure it radiated comfort and calm. Balancing the traditional and contemporary in a modern rustic interior is important for creating a sphere of cosiness when the autumnal nights draw in.

Choosing hand-forged iron detailing creates a pared back look, combining the old and new for a stylish modern rustic interior.  Authenticity is key in a 17th century building like this, which is where our traditionally forged iron comes into play. The Single Edgeware Spotlight in Antiqued Brass was designed as a stylish and functional solution to boost the lighting in specific areas of your room, particularly useful in hard-to-reach areas of period homes like these beams. Our Edgeware Spotlight incorporates an elegant brass shade with an exposed braided cable that gives it a cool industrial look.

The Bulkhead Outdoor Light is a handsome, retro-style garden wall light with a robust and practical styling that is reminiscent of shipping and industrial days gone by. There’s no reason you can’t enjoy it indoors too, and we knew it was our first choice to pair with the original exposed bricks. Hand cast in solid, natural brass, this light has a wonderful weighty quality that adds warmth and texture to your walls – bolstering the modern rustic feel.

A hinged design that fits into the floor, this 2 Gang Floor Socket is the dreamy modern rustic detail you might not have thought of. A great solution when you don’t want wires stretching around the room. Making a feature out of the quirks of period homes is often the best way to enjoy them!

A Matt Black or Beeswax finish ensures clean lines and stylish silhouettes, celebrating the traditional use of metalwork in Great British country homes. The Harrington Wall Light is practical and stylish in its simplicity, sitting close to the wall and creating interest with it’s circular detailing. Paired with a Half Shade in Pewter Killowen Linen, this light is strong against the bright white walls when framed by beams. A perfect tether between the styling of new and old.

The slim architectural lines of our Cromer Console Table helps to balance the warm and cool tones of the room, providing ample space to rest your hot drinks or glasses of wine..

A must have autumn/winter accessory, the Chappel Log Basket is just right for your hearthside firewood. Sturdy and supplied in our durable matt black finish, it’s a staple for homes with wood burners and fireplaces. With the dimmers in place and resting on our soft cushions, the added glow of a real log burner is sure to help you unwind on blustery evenings.
