At Home with Rosa Park of Cereal Magazine

April 2, 2015

As founder and editor of Cereal, a magazine devoted to travel and style, Rosa Park has the enviable task of flying around the world, visiting and researching cities to share with her readers. Park, a lifelong traveler and magazine lover who formerly worked in fashion and beauty marketing, launched Cereal in 2012 with her partner, creative director Rich Stapleton, who has a background in engineering. The magazine’s look strongly reflects the couple’s keenly honed personal style; Park and Stapleton personally visit every location before deciding how the story should unfold in Cereal.

Even the most inveterate explorers need a place to relax and recharge, however. Park recently moved from Bristol, England, to a flat in Bath close to The Royal Crescent. (Cereal’s offices are just a short train ride away in Bristol.) It’s here that, between expeditions, she’s made a home that feels very much like the pages of the magazine brought to life.

Photography by Rich Stapleton.

The light is a George Nelson Saucer Pendant. In lieu of shades, the windows have shutters. Considering your own? See Remodeling 101: Interior Shutters.
