Born by the sea, Nick Burrin has been designing and creating New England style houses and white interiors for the last 20 years. In the year 2001 he turned his attention to designing furniture and so New England Lifestyle began. Inspired by sea side clapper board houses, born from a love affair of all things white and New England.
All the furniture is designed by Nick and hand made exclusively for New England Lifestyle. The New England interior look is created by using white emulsion walls and wooden flooring; oak, maple, beech or just simple white painted floorboards, adding a splash of colour through curtains, cushions and throws. This back drop combined with the furniture creates a timeless, stylish environment inviting light tranquility and space.
“I love white because it never goes out of fashion. It liberates you from following fashion trends and makes your house feel like an eternal holiday home. I also like counting the different shades of white. In my living room, white walls, bleached white flooring, off white architrave and skirting, white sofa fabric and white furniture, all slightly different shades of white. If you’ve never lived in a white environment I always suggest starting with one room – perhaps a bedroom. Once you’ve tried one room, the whole house will follow! White interiors have a very calming effect and help you relax and feel at home.”
In addition to the showroom in West Sussex not far from the beach where Nick was brought up, the business is now expanding into London and opening a shop on the New Kings Road. Some of the furniture ranges are now available in New England Blue or New England Cream as well as the original white. To complete the look New England Lifestyle are adding a new range of accessories such as plates and place mats, light fittings, lanterns, glasses and linen. One of the great things for the London shop is the fact that all of the furniture is held in stock, enabling delivery into the London area within 2-3 weeks.
