\nThe picturesque but unassuming town of Bruton in Somerset has been busy putting itself on the map in recent years. In a converted chapel, set on the town\u2019s archaic main street, the suitably named\u00a0At the Chapel<\/a>\u00a0eatery has been attracting out-of-towners with its acclaimed restaurant, bar, artisan bakery and wine shop since opening in 2008, and more recently with its eight stylishly-appointed guest rooms. Then last year,\u00a0when international gallery Hauser & Wirth rolled into town<\/a>, commandeering a 17th century farm as its rural outpost, this formerly sleepy contemporary design<\/strong><\/em> \u00a0West Country town cemented its status as a creative enclave.<\/p>\n

\"When<\/p>\n

As of last month, Bruton now has its very own design store to add to this growing list of amenities. Founded by Natalie Jones,\u00a0Caro Somerset<\/a>\u00a0is the culmination of 15 years\u2019 experience working in the creative industries in London; namely in branding for fashion and architecture at Winkreative design agency and in trend forecasting at The Future Laboratory.<\/p>\n

\"delightfull<\/a><\/p>\n

\"When
\nHer new store, laid out across three cosy rooms on the ground floor of a stone-fronted terraced cottage, sells a curated selection of design accessories and furniture by the likes of Danish brand HAY alongside scents by Laboratory Perfumes,\u00a0handmade goods from Welsh company Blodwen, stationery from Nomess, chocolate by Ocelot and independent magazines such as\u00a0Cereal<\/em>,\u00a0Kinfolk<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Hole & Corner<\/em>. In addition, a coffee bar serves up freshly roasted specialty coffee from the local Round Hill Roastery. As if that wasn\u2019t enough, Caro will open two guest rooms this autumn with more to follow in spring 2016.<\/p>\n

\"When
\n\u2018We chose Bruton because of its creativity,\u2019 says Jones, who has dreamed of opening the store for many years. \u2018Chefs, stylists, photographers, artists \u2013 they\u2019re all here, so it\u2019s a home from home for me personally. The rooms opening in October will hopefully invite seekers from far and wide to share the culture and country spirit with their own experiences.\u2019<\/p>\n

\"WhenIn addition, Caro offers an interior design service and Jones is in the process of planning a pop-up event in London for the autumn, as well as a series of supper clubs, seminars and collaborations.<\/p>\n
