When neutrals don’t feel natural to you and clean lines aren’t your focus, it’s time to take leave from interior design norms. We hear you, so today we’re going cuckoo for colour and outlandish decor. We’ll be taking a trip to an extraordinary boutique hotel in Germany, where colour and art pieces create a spectacular union of whimsy and wonder. Next we’ll go home to a bright neoclassical studio apartment that’s characterised by blue colour blocked boiserie, coral clashes and acid yellow accents. Finally we’ll round up our celebration of colour and creativity with a cool modern open plan space, where artfully curated pieces vibe against a desaturated backdrop.

Our first colourful interior design is the Boutique Hotel Holst, located in the centre of the resort town Baden-Baden, Germany. Situated close to the Festspielhaus, this upmarket 9 suite hotel offers its discerning guests a perfect theatrical accompaniment. Bespoke furniture brings bursts of contrasting colour and exciting silhouettes to the rooms, from a hot pink accent chair to a sleek round coffee table.

Each of the 9 hotel suites have an individual design concept. Suite “Soviet Sport” features an amazing art piece that circles the ceiling before trailing the wall to the ground, and ending up as part of a round rug. Plain walls and a small sofa provide a clean gallery white backdrop for the piece. An interesting yet understated floor lamp design serves dual purpose as a side table.

Holst is a Russian word, meaning the artist’s canvas, and Holst hotel will become a venue for contemporary art exhibitions. The intent of the interior design here is to surprise–even the indoor plants are given eye-catching planters.

Almost all furniture items at Holst are custom created to complement the room themes, and to be independent objects of design. A racetrack shaped dining table is brought to life with a stunning array of decorative tiles and lustrous gold edging.
