From Moors to Floors: Embracing the Elements

When we think of the Lancashire countryside and the Yorkshire Dales, we envisage breath-taking landscapes, rolling hills, and charming stone-built villages. But there’s more to this ruggedly beautiful region than meets the eye. The weathering effects of these spectacular areas have a story to tell – one that has inspired our designers to create a ‘Curated Collection’, within Newhey Express, named ‘Elements’ taking influence from our local surroundings which are constantly evolving; weathered and worn by the natural elements.

Elements consists of 30 unique designs split into 6 categories.  Each telling a story that highlights the effects that nature and the natural elements has left on the landscape around us over thousands of years.  Each season also brings us a plethora of exciting colours, injecting an enchanting new chapter into our landscape.

Minerals – Inspired by the enchanting interplay of minerals on diverse natural surfaces. Artfully crafted and intricately designed to echo the captivating allure of these naturally occurring inorganic substances.

Earthen – Emphasising the textures and patterns which mimic the various surfaces found in nature itself. Creating a sense of grounded and timeless elegance throughout your next project.

Strata – Uncover the multiple layers of rock, soil and other materials created naturally by the earth over thousands of years, each stratum telling a silent tale of the earth’s evolving history and enduring beauty.

Organic – Inspiring a harmonious collection of designs, where the fluidity of natural forms, textures and colours intertwines to create inviting soothing spaces, infusing them with a sense of authenticity and sustainability.

Flow – From the fluid elegance of flow emerges a seamless dance of interconnected elements, each contributing to a harmonious and captivating symphony of movement.

Flora – Drawing inspiration from the rhythmic symmetry of petals, the randomness of foliage, or the nuanced gradations of colour observed in nature. This influence brings a touch of organic beauty to these stunning designs, inspired by the flourishing world of flora.

Embracing Imperfection

We have recognised a growing trend towards embracing imperfection. The weathered look, with its cracks and crevices, is now considered a mark of character and authenticity. Our designers have translated this concept into patterns that capture the essence of our local surroundings, incorporating various characteristics such as distressed finishes and textured surfaces that mimic the natural wear and tear of the landscape, all of which add a touch of rustic elegance to any space.

Colours of the Countryside

The Yorkshire Dales and the Lancashire countryside undergo a remarkable transformation with the changing seasons. From the lush greens of spring to the warm hues of autumn, these colours have inspired our designers to offer a collection that brings the beauty of nature onto your next mood board. Soft greens and cool greys create a sense of tranquility, while earthy browns and golden yellows infuse warmth and coziness.

Bringing the Outdoors In

By incorporating these designs into your scheme, you can bring a piece of the outdoors inside. The natural patterns and colours evoke a sense of calm and serenity with a connection to nature, making your room feel like an extension of these breath-taking landscapes.
