Have you ever stayed at a boutique hotel and decided you could comfortably live there forever? Surrounded by custom furniture and designer pieces you'd desperately cram into your luggage if only given the chance. Well, I have some news for you: the contents of South Croydon boutique hotel and members' club, Birch Selsdon, are being auctioned off on April 14. I'm talking about every designer lamp, side table, sofa, even the custom-made reception desks, and a "wall of curtains". You could pocket a £655 Ferm Living Dou Floor Lamp for £15 if you're lucky (at least, that's my plan).
Set on a 200-acre estate just outside of London, the 181-room London hotel re-opened its doors back in 2023 following an extensive overhaul by London-based interior design studio A-nrd. The team worked alongside award-winning furniture designer Sebastian Cox on several bespoke pieces that are now — unfortunately for the hotel, but fortunately for us — up for grabs, after it closed again later that same year.
