A trip around the RHS Chelsea Flower Show can be rather exhausting, so it is well worth dropping into the Artisan Retreat area for a little rest and relaxation. While you’re there do take a look at renowned florist Nikki Tibbles’ brilliant installation. Called Wild at Heart at Home, Nikki’s retreat is an extension of her personality, her home and all that she loves.

The retreat is based on the idea of having somewhere to read, work and be inspired by nature. It reflects Nikki’s favourite things and everything she loves to be surrounded by, such as beautiful, textured furnishings in vibrant colours, gorgeous furniture by talented designers such as Tom Dixon and vases filled with an abundance of English garden flowers.

Best of all, it is the sort of retreat that can be used year round as it features a stunning AGA Ludlow Stove.

I have sent a picture to my husband in the hope he may be inspired to build me a retreat just like it at the end of our garden!
