The Warner Fabrics Room At Stapleford Park

Having supplied the royal family with textiles for over a century, Warner Fabrics certainly knows a thing or two about luxury interiors. The Warner-sponsored bedroom is one of Stapleford's Grand Rooms (there are five others) and, as you’d expect, is suitably regal in tone. Two three-quarter-length bay windows look out over the vast grounds, which, added to the vaulted ceiling, gives a real sense of space. Traditional Crabtree & Evelyn toiletries are on hand in the bathroom (the quintessentially English company has also designed a guest room in the hotel), which is fitted with understated marble and gold taps. All guest rooms at Stapleford’s have a distinctly individual tone, ranging from the Austin powers inspired Savoir Beds suite - complete with huge circular bed and lava lamps - to the decadent Sanderson Suite, split over two floors with velvet and silks throughout. When we stayed there, a wedding party made the most of the variety available, with each party member taking a room that suited their personality.
