Michelle recommends…
Wattis Fine Art | wattis.com.hk
“The gallery in Soho is a treasure trove of beautiful pieces. He’s one of the best map collectors and curators in Hong Kong.” At this boutique artisan gallery, you’ll find recoloured antique sketches and interesting images of Hong Kong at the turn of last century.
Eico Paints | eico.hk
“Eico can mix any colour. I often bring in a swatch and they make the exact match. It’s a technical process; they start with white paint and can recreate your chosen colour multiple times. It’s perfect for touch-ups.”
Many of the indulgent fabrics and wall coverings in Michelle’s home have been sourced through Designers Guild. This stable of fabric designer labels includes Ralph Lauren and Christian Lacroix.
The nest of tables in the sitting area is sourced from Kare Design, a brand that offers unique pieces for design lovers across an extensive range of furniture, accessories and lighting. “Kare Design bars are fantastic. They’re the perfect size for Hong Kong apartments and they come with lots of storage.”
Plants
“I love to help local businesses – it’s important to support our local industries and appreciate what we have domestically. I like to give my plant-purchasing business to local Wan Chai and Happy Valley flower markets.”
