There is something quietly joyful about stepping into a corridor where tall, slender trees guide you forward. In the newly refurbished Suffolk Suite at Haymarket Hotel, Tall Trees drifts softly into the bedroom, blurring the line between passageway and personal retreat.
It feels a little like finding your way into a private tree house, suspended somewhere between imagination and the everyday, where mythical creatures look out from between the branches.
In the bedroom, an appliquéd headboard anchors the space with a single leafed branch. It sets a soft, crafted tone that carries through the room. The upholstery in Worlds Apart has the look of a hand-loomed weave, its cotton and jute base lifted with embroidered details that add texture without weight. In the Green and Coral colourway, it feels fresh and uplifting, while still allowing the space to remain a gentle retreat.
If the bedroom offers respite, the drawing room is its spirited counterpart. It is hard to imagine even the most travel-weary guest not feeling revived upon stepping inside.
The walls and curtains are dressed in Ring Road, a lively mix of loosely painted coils in oranges, reds and blues. Inspired by modern abstract art, the design seems to capture movement mid-stroke, swirling across the linen herringbone ground with effortless energy.
The seating continues the dialogue between craft and comfort. The sofa is upholstered once again in Worlds Apart, creating a subtle thread between the two rooms without feeling repetitive. Beside it, armchairs in Front Row in Jewel Green bring depth and richness. Drawing inspiration from antique tapestry with its beadwork and appliqué-like detailing, Front Row remains wonderfully light, its contemporary palette keeping the mood bright and modern.
A compact kitchenette sits nearby, fully equipped for an early coffee or a late-night snack. The chairs are upholstered in Robina’s Dinner Party, while the curtains wear Wriggle Room, adding a playful, hand-drawn charm that complements the room’s crafted details.
Together, these rooms form a quiet narrative: first, a place to rest among imagined branches; then, a space alive with colour, rhythm and movement. The Suffolk Suite invites you to linger, to look a little longer, and to enjoy the thoughtful layers of craft and character woven throughout.
