Bedroom Bliss

Styling by Kate Nixon

House & Garden Magazine, October 2021.

Words by Elizabeth Wilson.

A delicate balance of elements – “classic and comfortable, polished and practical” – is at the heart of designer Kate Nixon’s signature style. And it’s a balance she has achieved to perfection in this blissful bedroom.

H&G’s long-time interiors editor and director of design practice Studio Kate, Kate has built a reputation for her tailored interiors and attention to detail. Here, she began with a sophisticated selection of King pieces, most notably the sleek Bellaire bed, to which she added custom window treatments, textured bedlinen, elegant lighting and striking artworks. “The softer layers and fine details add character and warmth to the beautiful clean lines of the King furniture to create a room that is the epitome of understated elegance and quiet luxury.”
