|| CHRISTMAS | COTTAGE

Located in the Cotswolds England, multi award winning interior designer Bee Osborn's thatched cottage is a picture perfect winter home. With an exterior to rival Kate Winslet's cottage in the film The Holiday, the interior is a sublime combination of pale chalky linens, French antique furniture and contemporary country stying. Here are a few images from Bee's Instagram account, to view Bee Osborn's full portfolio and to contact her please click the link to her web site here: Studio Osborn

Relaxed Country Living

A colour palette of dusted earth tones and soft powdered pigments such as mulberry, raw plaster, putty, charcoal and zinc give a soothing, calming atmosphere to any room. Textures of washed linens, aged rustic wood and natural elements are set against pared down architecture to give this country look a contemporary twist.

A well dressed bed

Taking inspiration from the stylish chic boutique hotel suites, divine bedlinen and well chosen accessories not only bring a feeling of luxury to the bedroom but a sense of opulence and glamour. Layering high thread count linens with sumptuous textures such as silk, cashmere and velvet create a bedroom that is a haven of pampering and comfort. Here are a few of my favourites!
