One of the things we love about designing furniture is how the smallest decisions can make the biggest difference.
We've been working on a new addition to our collection, the Gransmore Bedside Table, and we're at the stage where we need to make a decision.
We wanted to create something with a little character. Beautiful proportions, softly rounded edges and traditional detailing, but with a relaxed feel that would work just as well in a contemporary bedroom as it would in a country home.
We're really pleased with how the design has come together.
But there's one thing we haven't quite settled on. The wood finish.
Gransmore is crafted from solid oak, and we've been looking at two options.
The natural oak feels fresh, light and relaxed. The brown oak has a richer, warmer character that gives the piece a completely different look.
The trouble is, we rather like both!
So we thought, why not ask you? After all, we're designing these pieces for people's homes, not just our own showroom.
Take a look at the two images and tell us which you'd choose.
Natural oak or brown oak?
We're genuinely interested to hear what you think, and your feedback will help us decide which direction to take.
