A Boutique Hotel Retreat
Beyond a custom Moroccan plaster arch, this primary suite was designed as a restorative sanctuary inspired by the atmosphere of the world's finest boutique hotels.
The homeowners spoke often of memorable travel experiences where lighting transformed ordinary rooms into unforgettable places. That memory became the design's guiding principle.
Custom stained wood screens flank the bed, concealing integrated LED lighting that softly glows through the open pattern to create warmth and intimacy at night. Suspended above, a hyacinth-colored Venetian reticello glass pendant—an extraordinary sixteenth-century glassblowing technique that traps delicate air bubbles within an intricate lattice—becomes both sculpture and light.
An aubergine palette grounds the room through faux Belgian linen nightstands, while antique mercury glass star lamps introduce a celestial quality echoed by a hand-knotted wool-and-art-silk rug in layered blues and violets. A Louis XV-inspired chair, writing desk, serpentine abalone mirror, Gabe Brown's whimsical Solitude, and a Victorian swan chaise create moments for contemplation and escape. Upholstered cornices trimmed with velvet scallops and beading soften the architecture, completing a bedroom that feels exotic, restorative, and profoundly personal.
