Interior Decoration: How To Refresh A Bedroom

Do you need to renew your interior?

With spring, you get the urge for a more clear and ventilated space. More than ever my motto remains “Less is more“. Here are some simple tips to refresh a bedroom, without transforming your home in a construction site. 

We begin by changing the position of the bed (yes you can move it!). Test the new direction one night, to check if you sleep as well as before. No need to change the direction, if it gives you nightmares! Lol! Photo 1: bed covered with a Brazilian macramé bedspread.

Then we empty “everything”. For example, if you have any pictures on the walls. Take them off the walls to see how it looks without, or placing them otherwise (on the floor for the large frames like in an art gallery). Or by changing them with new frames, photos, paintings … Photo 3 and the last photo of this post: the stunning drawing in Indian ink of the artist Moira Marcantei.

Do the same for the furniture and ornaments, keep only the necessary. Ideally, it should not be electronic, television and plant in a bedroom. Without falling into the ultra minimalism, when traveling, shop things useful for your home. Photo 5: on a wall, a Greek key ring against the evil eye and a leather label for a suitcase. On the last picture: African bowls for storing makeup.

Last advice, change the sheets, curtains (especially if they are dark and thick) and / or lamps. Choose light colors, light fabrics or patterns in relation to your new room. Like your clothes in your wardrobe: store and use your linens according to the seasons. Photo 2: short bathrobe for summer and white bath towel. Photo: 2, 4 and 6: play with fabrics. Here are an embroidered flower bedspread with a Brazilian macramé bedspread.

The White 1921 Courchevel

Design And Glam

A Warm Welcome

The White 1921 is the new design hotel with the all white facade that makes the difference in the small village of Courchevel 1850, and sets the tone: a mix of design, glam and cool (yes). When I arrive, Agnes Bouanani, the friendly General Manager of the hotel, offers me a tea in the “small lounge” (on the photo montage below) while my room is prepared.

The 26-room hotel was completely redone by Jean-Michel Wilmotte, the famous French architect and designer. I really like the fairly intimate, simple and graphic (without excess) interior design, creating a pleasant and comfortable bubble difficult to leave so it feels good. 

Agnes is a great traveler graduated from the CFA Mederic, the hotel school in Paris (black and white portrait below). Concerned about the smallest detail, she also chose the restautant where I dine this evening, as the hotel has none. There is only a breakfast room. 

Looking out the window, I ask Agnes how Courchevel is in summertime : “I love summer in Courchevel, I make amazing rides. It’s quiet… Like being in an eagle’s nest“. I’m already late, I go take a swimsuit while Nathalie waits for me to go to the Aquamotion for lunch (lol) … Thank you Agnes!
