Brilliant Interiors
Oriental Opulence The Mandarin Oriental hotel in Bangkok features a very distinct and captivating interior design theme. Combining traditional oriental design cues with modern décor elements, every room in the hotel has a personality of its own…
As soon as you walk into the hotel, you can’t help but admire the lively personality of the main lobby. Using Mother Nature as its inspiration, the lobby brings together different natural elements like fresh flowers, potted plants, and wooden planks in a wide, well-lit space to create a garden-like feel. Adding an interesting twist to the area are the tasteful chandeliers; featuring traditional oriental designs on barrel-like bodies, they give the lobby an unmistakeable avant-garde touch.
The Author’s Lounge sees a crisp, bright interior that’s charming and pleasing to the eyes. The main colour at play is white, which manifests itself in the form of lounge sofas, chairs, tables, and wall paint. All these pure white elements instantly give way to an area that looks classy and understated, while also creating the illusion of added space. Hints of green and pine are blended in the colour palette to break the simplicity and bring the entire setting together.
