The Clift

So, The Clift hotel has purple,mauve themed bedrooms,although it could just have been ours - or just our floor for that matter. It's not my favorite colour by any stretch, but I could cope with it here and embraced it. Our room was relatively small - NOT Paris small - Darling and I could both be standing in the room at the same time. There was no need to 'rotate' as in Paris style i.e one sits on the bed whilst the other moves around the room, or alternatively one has to be in the bedroom whilst the other is in the bathroom. The clever thing about the room was the use of mirror. Both the wall behind the bed and the wall opposite were fully mirrored, obviously giving the illusion of space. We all know this clever trick, but the difference here was the way they were both curtained, framing the mirrors and making a double trickery for the eye. Clever Starcky.

You see how the curtains repeat themselves in the mirror. Also, the wall lights. I love how they are positioned. I love the gold stool - like a lovely little pot of gold.

Very smart the light is. I also love the floating orange cube.

The colour combo works well don't you think? Out there that's for sure, but that's what makes him clever.

Simple desk you think - but then you see the subtle orange in the inside of the legs. The small constant continuation of the colour theme was wonderful.

The first thing I always do when entering a hotel room is immediately scanning the mini bar. The novelty never wears off. It's like finding the forbidden fruit. The holy grail that one cannot touch. Again, spot the mauve! Only in the inside of the cupboard.

Look at that lovely little KitKat in the back.
