Kate Nixon is an award-winning interior designer and stylist who is passionate about finding things you love that make a home your own. In a collaboration between Belle and Fanuli, the Founder of Sydney-based interior design studio, Kate Nixon, created her dream bedroom with luxurious pieces from Fanuli.
Here, we speak to her about her bedroom design concept.
What was your inspiration and design concept for this space?
The beautiful Clapis bed from MD House inspired this serene bedroom scheme with its soft, contemporary lines and textured upholstery.
Why did you choose these Fanuli pieces?
I love the idea of mismatched bedsides, especially pairing a desk with a side table for the practicality and use of space. I chose the Riva Elle Ecrit desk and Flexform Ascanio side tables for their cohesive timber tones and timeless silhouettes.
What is your favourite piece?
I love a good accessory and Flexform’s Mate magazine caddy is such a classic, small but mighty with its steel formwork and woven leather. It exudes Italian style and quality and would be at home in any interior.
What is your top tip for creating the perfect bedroom?
For me the perfect bedroom is calm and inviting, surrounded by the things you love. Consider all the layers from area rug to wall covering, window treatment to lighting, bedding to art and accessories in a cohesive palette of tones and textures.
