A room for sulking, dreaming, and seducing

The boudoir in its most beautiful form

A boudoir was originally a private retreat for ladies in wealthy households, particularly in the 18th and 19th centuries. The term comes from the French verb bouder ("to sulk") – referring to a place where a lady could withdraw when she wanted to escape from social events.

Typical uses of the boudoir:

  • Private dressing room or space for personal care and beauty
  • Intimate sitting room, e.g. for reading, writing, or making music
  • Place for private conversations or meetings away from the formal salon
  • Part of a lady's private apartments, often located between the bedroom and the salon

A boudoir was therefore usually elegantly and femininely furnished, with great attention to detail – delicate fabrics, mirrors, dressing tables, and ornate furniture pieces were typical. Historical furniture, carefully selected, enhances the luxurious charm of this room. The combination of opulent design and stylish decor evokes a hint of princess-like flair. Those who linger in this room feel transported to a bygone era when this space served as a personal retreat for the ladies of the castle.
