Romantic Holiday Cottage Interiors
Let me tell you about The Nook Norfolk, a gorgeous pint-sized romantic holiday cottage in beautiful Norfolk.
I have been styling and photographing holiday cottage interiors for a few years, creating aspiration lifestyle imagery. My photographs display just how wonderful a stay away, in a fabulous cottage can be. No previous holiday shoot has made me feel as emotionally attached as this one. The Nook Norfolk is in Sedgeford belongs to my closest friends, Jo, and Damien. I met both Jo and Damien at separate workplaces and then played cupid to bring them together.
Jo and Damien waited 7 years for me to provide them with a comfortable guest room at Starre Corner. Eventually they decided they could wait no longer and took the plunge. They bought a North Norfolk bolthole and holiday cottage of their own. Although I cannot claim credit for the overall interior design, I did enjoy the process. I happily joined in many conversations about how it would look and feel. Jo and Damien have done a cracking job. Creating a small and cosy Norfolk holiday cottage with some lovely luxury touches – linen bedding, Roberts radios, wool blanket, and Grind coffee machine to name but a few. Everything is provided for a romantic, stay-in and stay cosy break away, or equally a good base for exploring all the wonders that North Norfolk has to offer.
The Nook Norfolk is in Sedgeford in Norfolk. It’s a mere 5 miles to the coast and near to both Doking and Snettisham. Also within easy reach are the beautiful villages of Hunstanton, Thornham, Brancaster and Burnham Market. Sedgeford itself is a pretty village with a pub and conveniently situated just a short walk from The Nook. If a café is more your cup of tea, The Old Store in Snettisham is a must-visit during a Norfolk stay. The Old Store interior decor and vibe would be just as at home in the centre of Shoreditch as it is in the centre of Snettisham.
The minute I walked into The Nook Norfolk, even before the interior was redesigned, I could see its appeal. It’s a small Norfolk cottage with both charm and character. Jo, as a serial decorator has added her magic touch, using earthy colours to reflect the colours of the surrounding Norfolk countryside. The Nook is furnished with vintage pieces and modern appliances. As a couple, Jo and Damien enjoy modern-day luxuries and are both well-versed in staying away in beautiful well-equipped places, so they knew exactly what needed to be done. With care and attention, they have transformed The Nook’s interior into a romantic, comforting retreat for both themselves and their guests. Jo has used her signature style wallpaper mural in the bedroom and industrial touches throughout the cottage. They’ve created a cottage with a modern country industrial vibe.
I styled and photographed the Nook on a cold, albeit sunny day in November. I stoked up the log burner and felt toasty within minutes. The low afternoon sun shone through the kitchen window all the way through into the living room. It was an unexpected surprise but one that I should expect from the beautiful county, which is Norfolk.
