TARA BERNERD RESTYLES NEW ACCOMMODATION AT CENTER PARCS
Center Parcs, the UK’s leading short break holiday company, has launched its
stunning newly restyled lodges, designed by the renowned designer Tara Bernerd
CEO and founder of interior architecture and design company Target Living.
After 20 years as the UK’s number one short breaks destination, Center Parcs has launched its most ambitious change project ever. Phase one, a £60m restyling programme, will see over 1000 lodges (30% of capacity) transformed by April 2008. Working with Center Parcs’ existing open-plan family living design, Tara Bernerd has created a stylish and contemporary feel, which will appeal to Center Parcs’ discerning guests. The introduction of a feature wall depicting an image of picturesque woodland in the living space brings the true feeling of the Center Parcs forest into the lodges, which is complemented by a new colour palette continuing the woodland theme. Plasma screen TVs, oak flooring and contemporary fixtures and fittings combine luxury and nature, demonstrate great style in Center Parcs serene forest settings.
In addition to the restyling programme, 77 newly re-styled 3 & 4 bed Executive
Woodland Lodges will be carefully blended into the forest landscape across all
four villages, each carrying Tara’s new designs. From the wood-clad frontage
which fits seamlessly into the woodland setting to the high quality chrome
fittings throughout, Center Parcs will be setting new standards for family short
break holidays in the UK.
Center Parcs Sales & Marketing Director Colin Whaley commented, ‘Tara Bernerd is
one of the leading interior designers working out of the UK today. The reason
that we chose Target Living is their energetic and striking approach to design
and their commitment to absorbing and understanding our guests’ needs.’
Tara Bernerd CEO of Target Living commented, ‘It is an incredible project to be
a part of, the challenge being to create a fresh approach to the entire
experience, embracing the great outdoors yet now bringing a new lodge that is
all about today, open layouts, bold palettes and keeping it fresh and fun.”
Tara continues, “The biggest hit for those returning to a Center Parcs holiday will be when they first walk-in – as the new lodge represents a complete departure from the previous styling. We have brought the essence of the forest inside, we have even covered one whole wall with an iconic landscape image to emphasise this. We have really focused on injecting that feeling of outdoors into the lodges. Our colour schemes and styling encourages families to gather around the fire to share their Center Parcs experiences in a contemporary setting.”

Nottinghamshire, Elveden Forest in Suffolk, Longleat Forest in Wiltshire and
