Home Series with Bridget

It’s one of my highest priorities in my life. I moved to the Netherlands from Melbourne Australia In 2018 and I have lived In some of the most incredible spaces over the past 4 years. Very interesting buildings with old world charm. The place I am in now in Den Haag has 15ft ceilings, light from one end to the other and fabric wall drapery. Which may seem excessive to some, but I wake up everyday and feel so grateful to be able to enjoy this space. It gives my life a sparkle. 

A calming yet moody personal space. It needs to feel like a warm and spicy hug and it can be more personal than any other space in the house. 

It’s actually quite similar to be honest. I am sensitive to lighting and texture - if the hotel is too clean and sterile it often puts me off. Ones that have their own character and a considered choice of decor I’m often drawn to. Generally the boutique hotels don’t skimp on quality linen or pillows and this is the joy of staying in a hotel in the first place. 

I always go for the largest bed I can for the room. Haha. That’s always the starting point - and I opt for soft and organic colours that offer a calming feeling. A mix of textures is also key so quality bed linen in a high thread count Percival or satin is essential. 

Don’t ignore lighting - a soft glow is all you need in the bedroom and a harsh night light can completely kill your calm. And don’t go cheap on bed linen. We spend half our lives in bed - make at least two sets a personal investment for yourself.
