優雅餐桌

餐桌以深色重用木材製作，跟其他傢具裝飾配合完美；純白牆壁和大量窗戶加強空間感。餐桌佈置和亞麻布來自Lala Curio，是款客好幫手 property sat in neglect for more than a year before being offered up for lease to the public. For the tenant, who was 33 weeks pregnant when she first laid eyes on the home, it wasn’t an ideal time to move. But the couple took a leap of faith nonetheless – and it’s a decision that’s paid off, as the house has become an integral part of their growing family.

There’s a clear design direction as soon as we step into the foyer. The soft batik-patterned carpet underfoot, the carved wooden screens and the Chinese antiques throughout allude to a distinctive sense of place. They’re among the many pieces the tenant acquired from The Birdcage, her trusted Chinese antiques purveyor and restorer in Ap Lei Chau; the rest of the home’s comfortable, oversized furniture was shipped over from the US. To the left of the entrance is the spacious living room, where plush American-style furnishings in a palette of beige and moss green embody a cosy feeling that’s further amplified by the log-burning fireplace and the expansive views.

來，這兒絕非理想的搬家時間。然而，伴侶們依然抱有信心，最後不負眾望，房子最後也伴著這家庭共同成長擴張。

走進門廳，即能感受清晰的設計方向。腳下鋪上柔和的蠟防印花圖紋地墊，還有四處可見的中式古董和木雕刻風屏，為空間注入獨特格調。這些作品均由租客從鴨 洲The Birdcage購得，她對這間中國古董供應商兼修復商信賴有加。至於舒適的超大型傢具，則從美國運來。門口左面是面積闊大的客廳，當中放滿米色和地衣綠色的美式家飾品，在旁的燃木火爐和陽光普照的戶外景色更能加強宜居格調。
