Adele’s Resort-Inspired Home

THE LIVING SPACE
A touch of lush

We repainted all the walls and suggested changing the wall colour (dark grey) to a soothing off-white to make the area feel lighter and more spacious.

In keeping with the “resort” vibe, we picked a lantern floor lamp, a beige fabric sofa, and various plants. We also picked some accent green colour accessories (rugs, cushions, even a green sideboard and mirror) to match her existing items. We figured tone-on-tone cushions don’t have to be boring – mixing pops of colours like yellow and green cushions of different textures added a nice visual interest to the living room.

There was a long wall from the entrance to the window (on the back side of the living room). Adele wanted to decorate it with her own collection, but she found it difficult to match it to the new furniture, so we helped her decide which items to keep and which to let go. Then we relocated some of the “keep” items into her study. Finally, we helped her pick 2 new artworks, and she was very happy with those.

DINING ROOM
Food, family, and friends

In their apartment at The Waterfront in Kowloon, Adele and her partner wanted to be able to invite more friends for dinner, and she needed an extended dining table. To make it more contemporary and look less bulky, we picked some transparent Kartell dining chairs to match the table.

Then, we offered advice and helped her redesign the wall along the dining area, adding wall shelves to display her favourite ornaments and accessories. Adele is very open to our opinion; her initial thoughts on the dining area were for a more modern look. But upon our discussion, she was keen on our idea to use wooden furniture instead (more Scandinavian). This softened up the space and made it more cosy and warm.
