Holiday Lodge at Blenheim Palace

Liminal Luxe is welcoming but impactful with a bold marble surround with an electric fireplace at it’s heart — an unapologetic centrepiece framed by deep blues, graphite greys and inky blacks. Swathes of velvet cloak every surface, from enveloping armchairs to sculptural curtains. A symphony of lighting — sculptural pendants, glowing alcoves, and soft ambient glimmers — gives the space a seductive, gallery-like edge. The vibe is moody and transformative.

In the hallway the journey between rooms becomes a moment of immersion. Birch-tree print wallpaper nods to Blenheim’s ancient landscape, while a painted blue ceiling overhead conjures open skies.

Outside, the magic continues: mushroom-shaped solar lights peek out from greenery, festoon bulbs trace the outline of an elegant alfresco scene — complete with a pale green Nordic dining set and inviting corner sofa, made for late-night storytelling.

Rooted in rich, autumnal tones of ochre, chocolate, and deep indigo, the primary bedroom feels both enveloping and opulent. The velvet headboard and crisp linens invite slow mornings, while mid-century-inspired furniture and moody lighting keep the palette grown-up and grounded. A room made for indulgent unwinding.

The secondary bedroom balances elegance and calm, drawing from the surrounding meadows in muted tones of cool dusky blue, sage, and pale mustard. Cool mid-toned woods and brushed metals add sophistication, while velvet soft furnishings and diffused lighting invite deep relaxation. Every detail whispers rather than shouts but is also unapologetic— understated luxury at its most refined.
