One of the hotel chains that I have been enormously (but really enormously!) inspired by has been it for years English Soho House. Big fat fan. The colors they use are always on point: everything is always slightly greyed, the colors are deep, often intense and somewhat dark, there is never not a hint of white to be seen anywhere (the husband does not fully want to go along with this yet) but we are getting there), the walls are covered with art (a mix of posters and competitively priced items), all materials used are high-quality and rich, the lamps are often from the Art Deco era and, here comes the pitfall: everything is designed in-house. Unreachable by the ordinary person. Until now! Because the club has finally launched its own home line, rightly of course. No, no, don't start clapping your hands yet: this is going to be expensive. Priceless for the ordinary mortal. So why a cheerful note? Because the Soho House Home Collection 'dissects' the design of the hotels, making it easier to see what the trick is. Print clashes, tone-on-tone use of color, warm wood types, etc. And then it is a lot easier to steal style and to save for that unique ottoman or that amazing bedboard that will become the statement in your home and that you will enjoy for years to come.
