Forget the Spanish city’s sun, sea and stunning architecture, creative
inspiration can just as likely arise over a cup of coffee in one of the city’s
cafés, says local stylist Gudy Herder
Barcelona. A hub of culture and creativity. A
city that edges onto the surf, known for its lively
centre and the creative minds that work and thrive
there. Eager to understand the secrets of the city,
Heart Home caught up with resident interior
stylist and trend forecaster Gudy Herder, who was
keen to show us around the cafés where she finds
inspiration…

With exposed brickwork and elegant
furniture, the recently opened café is the
perfect place “to have a coffee in the city
centre and have a meeting about styling
and interior design”, says Gudy.
The diner style benches provide just the
right amount of privacy to have a quiet
meeting, but that’s not all the concept
store has to offer. “I like going there early,
right after they open and then take a walk
around the shop, browse among the great
books they have and leave again loaded
with inspiration,” she adds.
