Challenge
How does your bedroom “feel”? Is it a place to go to sleep or does it have a special ambiance? It is a place to dream and allow your mind to wonder or does it have the opposite effect?
Romantic environments have a soul that permeates through to give you time to escape from the outside world and connect with an intimate side of yourself. The scent of fresh flowers, the glow of soft lighting and candles intertwined with soft, touchable textures.
With an ocean view, this sunlight filled room overlooking a beautiful pool area had the potential to look gorgeous and luxurious and feel like the perfect feng shui bedroom.
The challenges to this room are evident in the before shots (click through the images above). There were the heavy structural beams, dark floors and somber colors. All together, I was excited though because the room would make for an opportunity to do a dramatic makeover.
We began by figuring out how to structurally remove the beams and add a balcony, turning the large windows into french doors to maximize the enjoyment of the serene view. With my clients love of the Moroccan style, this was the perfect opportunity to create a lavishly romantic oasis, starting with lighten the pallet to allow the focus to be on the dance of color and textures.
