Alessandra Branca - Architectural Digest |
This dining room in the Bahamian retreat of interior designer Alessandra Branca is a great example of what I call Tropical Chinoiserie. She mixes vintage Chinese Chippendale chairs, a RH dining table and rattan pendants from Ikea. Her signature red is especially nice at Christmas.
Do you see the red Chinese Chippendale railing? - here is the view. Who needs outdoor Christmas decorations with this red and green? And note the orchids on the palms that I have posted on. What a stunning view.

The chairs are gorgeous, but the dining room itself looks rather sparse to me. The orchids growing in the palms are just stunning.
ReplyDeleteWhen the outdoors and view are this spectacular, I think things can be kept simpler.
DeleteLove everything about those two shots.
ReplyDeleteLove the combo of table and chairs and am positively crazy about the red Chippendale railing. Now curious about what the house facade looks like.
Lovely home.
DeleteThe house is amazing. Very homey and casual, not over the top "done". A lot of restraint and good taste.
