Whether you’re thinking about refreshing a room or getting a complete home makeover done, take a look at these three home interior design projects in Hong Kong by Haven Design.
This full-service interior design practice provides tailor-made solutions for residential and commercial projects. A key focus for the company’s Design Director MARY WONG is creating interiors that are not only beautiful, but also reflect the unique story of the clients – their personalities, habits and aspirations. By getting to know their character, Mary comes up with a design that not only appeals to them, but also supports the way they live and relax in a functional way.
Home interior design project #1 – Carmel Hill, Stanley, Hong Kong
The aim here was to create a space that reflected the bubbly personalities and active lifestyles of the owners. So, the home’s simple white walls made way for a bold colour scheme, and wood-grain vinyl replaced the old flooring.
Curved edges and semicircular design features were employed throughout the home to enhance the sense of flow. This also created a softness that extends to the bedroom, which has an ultra-comfortable feel – a bit like a high-end hotel suite. The use of sophisticated dark panelling is paired with natural materials like wool and timber for balance.
The tranquil bathroom has a handcrafted Japanese style soaking tub made from Alaskan cedar as its centrepiece. Elements of dark stone along with soft lighting and timber accents bring to mind a boutique spa.
This comfort extends to both the family room – a relaxing space with tailored cabinets and open shelving – and the living room, where sun streams in and a sky-blue feature wall accentuates the views.
One floor down from the entrance, the entertainment space has a different kind of energy, celebrating a love of sport and music. Aside from the central billiards table, there’s a classic Rock-Ola jukebox and a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed pinball machine; you’ll also spot Beatles cushions, framed rugby jerseys and more. The Haven Design team have transformed it into the ideal area for hosting a party or watching live sport with a few drinks.
Home interior design project #2 – Robinson Road, Mid-Levels, Hong Kong
This 1,800-square-foot apartment is a sanctuary where texture and colour combine to create an atmosphere of quiet luxury.
Designed for a retired couple wanting the perfect space for enjoying time with family and friends, the home favours understated elegance over ostentation. An array of stylish fittings and accessories create layers of tactile interest; there’s Finnish-engineered wood flooring, Italian marble floors, a custom-design rug, 3D-embossed ceramic tiles, gilded wallpaper accents, Gessi and Grohe bathroom fixtures, and artisanal veneers from Italian brand Tabu. Meanwhile, the colour palette grounds the home in warm earthy tones, punctuated by sophisticated touches of burgundy, blues and warm greys.
Complementing these aesthetics, Haven Design included some senior-friendly conveniences, such as a smart home system with lighting and curtain controls, a shower seat and floor heating in the bathroom, and a concealed bar area that can be opened up for gatherings.
This wasn’t the first collaboration with the couple; the company worked on their previous apartment over a decade ago. Mary says that the established trust between designer and client was a key factor in how well things turned out.
Home interior design project #3 – Shui Fai Terrace, Wan Chai
These homeowners have a deep appreciation of Asian design aesthetics, and wanted their home to harmoniously blend the elegance and serenity of Asian interiors with modern living.
One request was to separate the long living and dining area without losing natural light from the living room window. Mary created a Japanese timber “moon gate” to frame the view while visually separating the areas and allowing ample natural light to flow.
Timber is used elsewhere in the design, too – in cabinetry, raw wood benches, timber shoji doors and strip patterns on doors. The overall effect is a feeling of warmth and texture, but also cohesion and harmony.
The clients like to collect artworks on their travels and they wanted them integrated seamlessly into the design. Mary used pops of colour to achieve this – so, a blue chest of drawers contrasts beautifully with a gold portrait, while an orange wallpaper accent complements the painting in the dining room.
The furniture and décor resonates with the overall aesthetic, too, while some existing items were upcycled to suit the design. A stone slab was repurposed from an old bench, for instance, transforming it into a new, stylish top for the study shelf. It adds a unique character to the room but also aligns with the interior designer’s commitment to sustainability.
