Paper Paper on the Wall

I have been working on the interior design of a new office studio in Brighton and wanted to cover one of the walls with some inspirational wallpaper. No easy feat! Leaving the traditional behind, I finally came across the fantastic and innovative designs from the fabulous Aimee Wilder, who has created designs for work, life and play.

w-analognights-chocolateBorn in New York, Aimée took inspiration from time spent in the fashion showrooms where her parents both worked.

This four storey Queen Anne townhouse was built in 1717 and has now been lovingly and elegantly converted into a beautiful boutique Hotel, by well known London interior designer David Carter.

Offering only two rooms, Carter himself claims that 40 winks may be the smallest boutique Hotel, but also the most fantastical.

With an eclectic mix of the traditional and the contemporary, for me 40 winks can only be described as a bold, yet romantic home from home that I can’t wait to stay in and explore.

Lights out, and Carter’s on hand with fantasy tales and bedtime stories which are regularly open to up to 40 visitors.
