Real Room's // The Land of Milk & Honey in the Bedroom
We LOVE seeing our wallpapers and fabrics in your home š From sample to your finished room scheme and all the fun bits in between.
The winner of our first ever room of the month is @behind_the_beech_hedge with an amazing calm and serene bedroom showcasing aĀ Land of Milk & Honey wall muralĀ in the alcoves of the wall.....simply beautiful Mike & Brian.
Ā
Ā
Along with partner Brian, they have converted an old boarding school into a dreamy residence and what caught our eye was the really innovative way they used our Land of Milk and Honey mural in the bedroom.Ā
Ā
We spoke to Michael about the completed project. And hereās what he had to say.Ā
Ā
1. What did you want to achieve with your renovation?
Ā
To bring the soul back to the property which was originally built as a boarding school and had been split into three flats in recent years - removing every original feature. Ā
Ā
Ā
2. Can you explain your signature home style?
Eclectic - our belongings havenāt been bought over one weekend at a retail park. They have been purchased, found, passed down to us over many years. To many people this might make them look mismatched but to me it creates warmth and a home of memories. Ā
Ā
Ā
3. What inspired you to pick Land of Milk and Honey? What attracted you to it?Ā
I was trying to stay away from grey rooms but as soon as I saw this I thought we could at least have one! The mural is perfect for the space and creates two inter vistas in what could otherwise be a flat and cold space.Ā
Ā
Ā
4. How does the finished room make you feel?
Calm - it feels traditional and yet modern at the same time. I love the way the light through the 2.4m windows hits the wallpaper at different times of the day.Ā
Ā
Ā
5. How does the wallcovering work with your existing interiors?Ā
If fits in perfectly - the whole place was restored and redecorated over a 14-month period and I wanted each room to have its own personality. The wallpaper defo helps it to.Ā
Ā
Ā
6. What should no home be without ā and why?
Memories - in every room of our home we have furniture, paintings, photos or ornaments that represent moments of our life together. Ā
Ā
Ā
7. Whatās your favourite month and why?
December obviously - we love to entertain and we built the house around Christmas - strategically installing plugs sockets (inside and outside) for Christmas decorations!
Ā
Ā
8. Whatās your favourite colour and why?
I didnāt think I had one but throughout the house weāve added pink touches which subconsciously bring the rooms together. It might be pink cushions in the very navy blue den or a pink fireplace in the creamy drawing room - little touches.Ā
Ā
Ā
9. Favourite flower ā and why?
Peony (light pink obvs). The smell and the pretty layers of petals are beautiful.Ā
Ā
Ā
10. Finally, name three Woodchip & Magnolia products that you love and tell us why?Ā
Ā
Defo need to find a space in our next house for Nirvana - just love it!
Ā
Iām very tempted to wallpaper a ceiling (just donāt tell the husband) with a moody flower pattern and I think Ava Marika could be perfect. Ā
Ā
Obviously Milk and Honey is perfect - next time I might try the butterfly version!Ā
