Bedroom furniture range appeals to lovers of darker woods

Hammonds – the fitted bedroom, closet and home office people – has continued to lead the way with the new trend for darker, warmer tones for 2007, with the launch of a new bedroom finish in Walnut.

Available in the Libretto range, Walnut reflects the increasing popularity of dark woods in Europe, most notably the rich Walnut finish, which has been a major design trend for kitchens. With consumers seeking international designs for inspiration, it was a natural progression for this walnut finish to become an influence in bedroom styling.

On-going product development has always been at the core of Hammonds’s philosophy, they continually look at emerging new trends, alongside market research into consumer expectations, in order to expand the breadth of choice available.

Libretto Walnuts rich grain creates a decorative wood finish, which works well with a wide palette of soft furnishing and paint colours. The emerging trend is to use darker furniture and contrast it with light décor, such as off white walls, neutral coloured flooring and simple furnishing and accessories. Hammonds has complemented this range with stylish chrome handles, ensuring Libretto Walnut will certainly act as a bold style statement.

The launch of Libretto Walnut follows Hammonds increasing portfolio of darker finishes, which is echoed by the success of the biggest finish in the Verve range Sable Oak Veneer, which shows that consumers are already confident in choosing the most striking finishes for their bedrooms.

The new Libretto Walnut bedroom offers a modern, transitional look, and rooms start from around £2,000, great style on a budget.

Richard Hammonds comments: “Because of its chic and sophisticated style, darker woods have been slowly filtering into the international furniture design spectrum for the last couple of years, making it a natural choice for Hammonds to now bring it to the UK market.”
