André’s Home Away From Home

ABOUT THE CUSTOMER

André

Place: A 3-bedroom flat in Mid-levels, Hong Kong, with a beautiful view of the city from the living room and all the bedrooms.

Style: Eclectic yet comfortable, bold yet inviting.

Location: 80 Robinson Road, Mid-levels, Hong Kong

Hailing from France, André had just been posted to Hong Kong. When we started working with André, he was still COVID-quarantined in a serviced apartment. So we were working purely off his floor plan and site pictures to offer turnkey styling. And might we add… this was his first time ever in Hong Kong. What an adventurous soul!

PROJECT INTRO

André brought us in to do some turkey styling for his new home in Mid-levels, Hong Kong. While the layout was somewhat challenging, we were able to create an elegant and cosy abode for André’s first home in Hong Kong, while still keeping and displaying a lot of his personal accessories and sentimental pieces.

The apartment was pretty nice and bright to begin with, however the layout was not the most straightforward. The living room wasn’t rectangular, and the dining room seemed like an afterthought. So we were hoping to create a good circulation that flows well from the living to the dining space.

LIVING ROOM
Elegant and personalised

A style that blended an elegant and modern vibe while incorporating a few of his decor accessories and art. Here we created a bright and inviting living room with a touch of modern rustic and ethnic feel.

DINING ROOM
For new friends to gather

In our design process, we also incorporated small antique pieces and artworks from his family that bring sentimental value to André throughout the space. With the walnut wood dining set that we picked, matching the dark wood cabinet, gold-framed antique mirror and artwork, we hope to make his time in Hong Kong feel more like home.

BEDROOM
Good morning Hong Kong

With such a beautiful window and view of Robinson Road, Hong Kong, the room would be wasted if it didn’t have a solid foundational feel to it.

To tie the Master Bedroom into the overall theme of the home, we made use of a gorgeous antique rug that André had from his family back home. To keep the rest of the items fine and subtle, we selected a plain dark grey headboard with a walnut detail and a walnut finish to match the bedside table with brass handle details.

That way, the rug could be enhanced as a highlight of the room. In addition, we also added an interesting table lamp on each side of the bed to create a cosy and warm ambience at night.
