ABOVE and RIGHT TOP The master bathroom sports both an interior and exterior section, divided by glass. The internal part is characterized by the extensive use of old wood: large teakwood planks comprise the flooring while a solid teak block forms a counter. The warm wood tones are matched with taupe on the walls and combined with a pleasant insert of white pebbles in front of the toilet and shower. An antique rustic bench and white cotton drapes add a decorative, rustic appeal. Outside, in a garden setting, sits a canopied bath on a block of black lava stone, a shower, private plunge pool and balé. RIGHT BOTTOM Neutral shades of cream, white and taupe form the perfect backdrop for a guest bedroom, leaving the focus on the natural patina and carvings of the old wood. Bedside lights from DeLighting.
