I always love seeing more exposure to Thai design. Elle Decoration {UK} featured Reflections in this month’s issue…a kitschy boutique hotel in Bangkok with rooms decorated by various artists and designers. Here are some of my favorites…
Bangkok Kitsch

on a side note, do you know if it is possible to get a digital subscription to Elle UK like you can for ELLE US?

These rooms looked amazing. I might be going to Thailand later this year but will be staying with family. But will definitely try to stop by this hotel to take a peek for some inspiration. Oh, here’s another Thai design for you, http://www.propagandaonline.com. I reallly enjoy their clean lines and quirkiness.
hi joy! thanks for posting this up. I totally forgot about this great place. Seems like a lot of big cities around the world are doing art hotels. Check out http://www.hotelfox.dk/ Also, did you get my email about propaganda and playground?
The rooms look so amazing. So colorful and vibrant!!Thanx for sharing this with us.Cheers!!
What a treat! I just returned from staying at this hotel and you’ve captured it perfectly. It was almost too kitsch, if that’s possible. It definitely didn’t induce sleep, but did inspire lots of creative thought during my time in BKK.
I love the vibrant colours and patterns so much (especially the bed-sheets bottom left)!
I’m so happy with this link. This summer I will be visiting Bangkok and would love to sleep in this hotel. Thanks for showing.

I want to stay there! The bottom right room reminds me of one of my favorite stores in Siam Square, the shopping area in Bangkok. The store is called It Happened To Be a Closet, and it has all these kitschy things just mismatched – it just looks fun. There is a small bakery on the bottom floor and a tiny Italian restaurant on the top floor, not to mention a small salon. Their designs are original, with fun, vibrant colors and patterns for simple t-shirts, blouses, dresses, and skirts. 🙂
