Behind the Design: The Sugar Maker’s Suite 🍁
One of my favorite parts of STR design is finding inspiration that is really specific to the property and the area! For The Sugarhouse in the Montpelier, Vermont area, we were inspired by the local maple tapping and sugaring history and used that as a starting point for the design. 🍁 We even took it a step further and gave each bedroom its own theme tied back to the property. This is the Sugar Maker’s Suite, where we pulled in warm maple and amber tones, rich browns, plaid, florals, and layered patterns to give the room that cozy, nostalgic feeling without making it feel overly themed. I love finding these little connections to a property’s location and turning them into something unique for the guest experience. Sometimes the best design inspiration is already right outside the property!

Duvet! Best cleanliness practices include washing all things with every turn; duvets are quick for your cleaning team or cost effective if you outsource laundry. Comforters will eat money quick to launder--avoid actual down as several guests have allergies, instead utilize an alternative. These are the duvets and inserts we recommend at Somerled! And keep in mind white is industry standard; you can always bring color in with throws and pillows.
