Summer might just be getting started, but the styles of summer 2022 have been hard at work! One of the best parts of working at the shop is seeing what new fabrics, patterns and designs make their way to the showroom floor each season. This summer has been all about color! From bold and untamed to classic pastels, hues of all kinds are having a heyday!
While many things in life change and evolve, the steps to creating a beautiful bedroom do not! Once upon a time Mary Carol laid out a roadmap to creating a stunning space in which to relax and regenerate, and this advice still gets me through my room refreshes today. I thought we could all use a reminder from her this spring as we look to breathe a little new life into or completely transform our rooms during spring cleaning.
Every year I try to set goals for myself as one does, and my New Year’s resolution for 2022 is to get more rest! Although with a baby on the way I can see how I might be setting myself up for failure, just as my 2021 plan to eat heathier went a bit off the rails. Nonetheless, setting goals (achievable or not) is often what keeps us moving forward! At least I can use my resolution this year as an excuse to give my bedroom a makeover, and that’s something I can get behind 100%!
I can’t tell you how happy I am that it is finally feeling like fall! I have been craving these cool evenings and the sight of changing leaves for quite some time now and am thrilled that the weather has finally taken note. However, all good things come with a loophole. In this case, it is me having a hard time leaving my warm bed in the morning! Luckily our designers have been creating beautiful custom bedding to keep us all cozy and comfortable during these cold months ahead!
I’ve had something to say for a while. I have been nervous to share not knowing what the response would be, but here it goes. Trade in your guest room double bed for a pair of twins! I know I know, what am I talking about – have I gone crazy?! I wasn’t sure myself at first but over the last year I have been falling in love with daybeds and twin bedframes and now I can’t get enough!
While it is hard to believe that hibernation season (aka when the temperature drops below 40, hah!) is in our near future, time is moving fast! Now is the perfect opportunity to cozy up to some stunning new bedding creations. I am so excited to be back this week with more bedding to share with you. I have the absolute best team of designers here at Nell Hill’s and they have been keeping me in awe each and every month with gorgeous new bedroom designs. I have loved being able to see them express their personal styles here at the shop, because as I’ve said before, the best way to get to know someone is to see their bedroom!
Thinking back to my younger years at university I remember a lot of different emotions. That first time away from home is an eye-opener! One of the hardest parts is leaving the comforts of home and branching out to discover your own way. I remember thinking I’d spent 18 years curating my childhood room and now I had to leave it behind! Making a dorm room or rental bedroom feel like your own space is not always an easy task. With rarely an option to add paint colors or even your own furnishings to a space, it can be challenging to make it truly feel like home. My suggested solution? Fabulous fabrics and bedding, of course!
If the best way to get to know someone is to look at their bedroom, then the best way to get to know our designers is to look at their bedding! I get questions all the time about our talented design team and I want to introduce them to you! This year I’ve been tasking them to create their own custom bedding look for the shop and featuring them monthly. It has been so fun to see their bedding go from initial idea conception to flat lay to creation. We are only two looks into this program and I can’t wait any longer to share the first two designs (and designers) with you!
I don’t know about you, but nothing makes me want to stay in bed all day lounging more than a rainy day. Seeing as spring is upon us, the drizzle of April showers won’t be going anywhere soon! This means, it is time to refresh and re-comfy (yes, I made up that word) our bedrooms for optimal rainy-day snoozing. I have been loving our new beds and bedding designs that the Nell Hill’s team have been creating on our second floor. If I had to pick one trend that is slipping into my dreams it is the ever-classic, beautifully timeless combination of Blue and White.
This is the prime time of year to bring a fresh look to your home, and of course, this includes the bedroom! With warmer weather approaching (it doesn’t feel like it now, but soon enough it will!), it is time to start thinking about putting the heavy extra quilts and blankets back into the cedar chest and bring out the spring! Our lovely bedding experts at Nell Hill’s have been busy switching our looks out and imparting a few tips and tricks to the perfect spring bed.
