Eclectic Caribbean Inspired Penthouse by Kit Kemp

10 Aug 2023

Inspired by a trip to Barbados, this room was created with warmer Caribbean climates in mind. Fiery reds and golden yellows mix with sea green and cooler blues to create a dreamy colour scheme that captures the beautiful palette of this tropical paradise. The energy that is created by the assortment of textures and pattern is infectious yet not overwhelming, as it invites you to relax and take in the views.

Using the modern upholstery fabric, Carnival Linen on a chesterfield style sofa, like a Halisham, updates this classic and reflects the other furnishings.
