A post shared by Home decor & Interiors By Rach (@raspberry_flavoured_windows)

In this week’s Get their look, we’re featuring another striking black interior. This dark and dramatic kitchen belongs to Rach of Raspberry Flavoured Windows. She and her family have lived in their home for over 20 years, and the interior has seen many different incarnations. The current style is, “Dark Gothic Glam”.

If you fancy getting involved in some of your own kitchen DIY, Rach guides you through a few jobs – such as how to replace the kickboard for a brass one and the best paint brand for cabinet doors & drawers.

Swipe to see the ‘before’ kitchen photo – what a difference a pint job can make!

This is the dark dramatic sitting room of Little Grey, her family and LuLu the boxer (who features regularly in the Insta-stream!). The home is located in Dublin; a self-build and work-in-progress.

What’s already completed, is a fusion of deep painted walls, statement lighting, stunning fireplace and attention-grabbing artwork.

Instagram always proves such a source of inspiration! I happened across the feed of Sarah Simonds who creates the most beautiful macramé and terraria; this is a shot of her moody crafty kitchen. Have a swipe across to see a selection of the work she produces.

Sarah sells her textile designs online on Etsy as well as running workshops from her home ‘cabin’. She describes herself in her own words:

I’ve always been a creative and had a very keen interest in Interiors, taking my first room completely dark some 12 years ago now…. with a push from my daughter I started my instagram account, not knowing how it worked and not really posting much……. well… as time went on.. I gained in confidence and this year I started my own small business and opened the doors to my little Etsy shop where I sell my Macrame. Another love of mine is Terrariums as you will see from my squares that botanicals are an absolute passion too!

When we moved to this property 12 years ago there was just a patch of grass front and back dotted around the edge with a few mature trees…. over this time we have hand dug and designed a tropical garden suited to UK climates …. all the work in the house and garden has been done by myself and long suffering husband ‘Plumber Dave’ on a very limited budget and with lots of imagination thrown in too!!!

Get their look: Stylish boho lounge

I constantly veer between admiring colourful, playful interiors and dark and dramatic ones; this stylish boho lounge sits firmly in the latter category.

The inky, velvet sofa is so inviting – teamed with matching and contrasting cushions. The grey walls, curtains and furniture add to the feeling of enveloping cosiness.

Nadia, the owner of this stylish boho lounge, jokes about keeping alternate months of her huge wall calendar up for 2 months so it’s always showing a black, not a white page!
