Lume di Candela

With just a little imagination, a seemingly simple glass hurricane lamp can be transformed into a stunning centrepiece for your dining table.

Pictured right we have filled our large “Lume di Candela” from Riviera Maison with just a few shells and a simple white pillar candle. The light sparkles in the glass lamp creating a calming atmosphere – perfect for a dinner party, or just as a feature in your living room, adding warmth to your interior design.

For a romantic twist, perhaps fill the bottom of the lamp with dried rose petals or sprigs of lavender to add a splash of colour along with wonderful scents.

Hurricane Lamps are not just restricted to candles… just imagine the Lume di Candela filled with tall blooms; lush green leaves and fragrant white leaves, or perhaps large yellow sunflowers in the summer.

Similar effects can be created with the Fiori Piccolo Glass Vase from Riviera Maison. Yes it is a beautiful vase that can be placed on a table, or hung from a large hook; but it is also a stylish candle holder… or whatever you want it to be!

The Lume di Candlea is only available in store, priced at £55. View our Accessories page for more ideas of attractive New England Style pieces to add those all important finishing touches to your home interior.

I had always wanted to increase the range of accessories to include things such as wine glasses, crockery, storm lanterns etc but it is difficult to design and manufacture these items as we would have to produce such large quantities it is not cost effective. Eventually I came across a company called Riviera Maison at the Paris Show, Maison & Objet, and I fell in love with the accessories they produce as they really do fit in with the New England look.

For example, I love the I Love Olives Dish, a really simple design for offering your guests olives, and things like the wooden placemats, bookstand, Breakfast in Bed Laptray to name just a few.

We have some of the Riviera Maison items available to buy on our website, but there are many more items in our showroom in Yapton. If you are looking for interesting accessories to enhance your white New England Interior, then come and have a look around and see what you find – from the unusual Champagne Buckets, to the Large Wooden Lanterns; three tiered cake stands, large glass vases and superior light fittings.

Cote Est Pitcher £12

We also have the stylish Cote Est crockery at greatly reduced prices. Pick up dinner plates for only £8, salad bowls for just £8, cups & saucers for £5, sugar bowls for £5 and the Cote Est Pitcher pictured above for just £12.

Our New England Magazine Rack is the ideal accessory to tidy your magazine collection and looks good in any room. It is available in three colours, white, cream or blue.

We also have our New England Wastepaper Bins which are hand carved and have very useful carry handles; again these are available in three colours, white, cream or blue. They almost look too good to be used for wastepaper!

You can even extend the New England style design to your kitchen windowsill with our New England Window Boxes, a perfect trio for kitchen herbs, available in white, cream or blue. Why not choose all three and mix the colours together, as you can see, they would look fantastic anywhere in your house. Also for the kitchen we have our very own New England Bread Bin, again available in three colours, white, cream and blue.

We have designed a very useful New England Peg Rail, also available in white, cream or blue which is a versatile hanging solution with six pegs and we have our New England Shelf – an all purpose white shelf, suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, hallways or living rooms.

By popular demand we have designed some New England Sailing Boats and two New England Yachts which look good in any room in the house, available in white, cream or blue. These make the perfect present for those marine loving homeowners.

We also have our unique hand carved three dimensional wooden fish and don’t forget we have our very popular existing Tall White Lighthouse to complete the New England look in any home.

Complete the look with our New England Flag – a large decorative wooden flag with our own New England style. Designed to be hung flush against the wall, providing a feature for any room in your home.
