At Home with Rosa Park of Cereal Magazine - Remodelista
Photography by Rich Stapleton. 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. A view of Bath’s iconic architecture (of Bath stone) looking down the street from Park’s flat toward the Royal Crescent. Park’s gray-painted front door. In the living room, Park adheres to a black, gray, and white palette. In lieu of shades, the windows have shutters. Park’s meticulously displayed collection of coffee table books includes monographs on the work of Agnes Martin and Fan Ho, and Phaidon’s book about concrete in design. Stapleton is responsible for much of the photography in Cereal, as well as the magazine’s design. A photo by Stapleton (inspired by Hiroshi Sugimoto) rests on the mantel. The Anglepoise Lamp–a UK classic (and Remodelista favorite) was invented in Bath. The gray and white kitchen overlooks a golf course; Park says the light is especially memorable at sunrise.

Above R: Park arranges her favorite ceramics, cookbooks, and kitchen items, all in a muted palette, on her bookshelves. The bedroom is a soothing mix of calm neutrals. Above L: Office items are smartly stored in Desktop Boxes by Danish company Hay. Above R: A Skagerak bamboo floor mat from Denmark, purchased at a shop in Bath.
