The clients for this Master Bedroom had lived in Hong Kong and recently visited the Raffles Hotel in Singapore, where they developed a deep appreciation for Asian-British Colonial architecture and interiors. They were looking to bring this type of lavish ambience into their own home. With that theme as a departure, we agreed to focus on a palette of natural materials like rattan, bamboo, and wicker. The addition of other natural materials like cotton, mahogany, and woven leather reinforces the casual yet elegant style.

I planned the space in a simple, functional manner and carefully selected the furniture and lamps, with the exception of the settee which was previously owned. I chose the color palette and the fabrics for the window treatment and bedding. I also selected the floor covering, the ceiling fan, and the artwork, which includes antique maps from the East Indies and a view of Hong Kong harbor.
