Lovely Style at Woody Bay Hotel

I'm an avid fan of Pinterest and spend a lot of time poring over different home styles. It occurred to me recently that the aesthetics in the living room of Woody Bay Hotel are amongst the best I've seen.

Now you could say that this is bias as the style team behind this triumph are the Garden Poet and The Mother. I do however think they have a knack of making the diverse and at times mis-matching elements fit into a harmonious whole.

That's not to say the effect was achieved through a calm and Zen like process. GP and TM will have tested the design through a rigorous process of to-the-death arguing and took a while to get to this final point. The main thing is that this is a calming room to be in and when you are in it listening to the grandfather clock ticking steadily, your normal life feels a long way away. I think a lot of my own style pretences come from this room - muted eau-de-nil shades, books everywhere and light flooding the room. It's a good place to start any design ethos.
