Designer B&Bs at Interiors UK

Squirrel Forest by Donna Wilson
Among the portfolio of new areas at Interiors UK this week is a series of three roomsets by leading British designers - each of whom has created a bed & breakfast room in their signature style.

Squirrel Forest by Donna Wilson


Textile designer Donna Wilson has transformed her room into a fantastical woodland scene. Called Squirrel Forest, the installation includes a selection of her best-loved pieces as well as a canopy of foliage and hand-drawn slatted flooring.

Dalston Rose by House of Hackney


East London-based Victorian revivalists House of Hackney present Dalston Rose, a room entirely clad in blue floral fabric to portray the brand's signature subversion of traditional English style. Read our interview with Frieda Gormley, one of the brand's founders, here.

King Size by Morag Myerscough & Luke Morgan


Graphic designer Morag Myerscough created King Size, a powerfully geometric roomset with flashes of typography and neon lighting providing a twist of humour.

For another example of creative roomsets by designers from a range of fields, read The Exchange Hotel, Amsterdam: rooms dressed as people. Subscribers will be able to read our report on the best new exhibitors from the Design Village, a new addition to the fair curated by Designersblock, later this week.
