POINT OF VIEW

This bedroom sitting area overlooks the pool and gardens, so designer Olga Adler of Olga Adler Interiors knew the views were key. “I wanted to strengthen the connection between the lush greenery of the outdoors and the interior space and felt that a light, natural material such as rattan would be perfect to accomplish that goal,” says Adler. “Modern rattan pieces give off a casual coastal vibe, and the low seat profile of this chair is perfect for lounging with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The end result is a room that feels like a restful retreat—organic, layered, and airy.” Delray Beach (olgaadlerinteriors.com)
