This design concept, known as the "Luxury Oasis," seamlessly melds the opulent textures of Hollywood glam, the iconic shapes and forms of mid-century modern design, and contemporary highlights. It crafts an environment that captures attention while maintaining a unique, visually captivating atmosphere. To further enhance the connection to the geographical location of Palm Springs, this concept will be elegantly woven into Dunn Edwards' "Life in Poetry" color palette, with focus on Terra Rosa (DE5096) as the color of the “point of interest” which is applied to the mini bar that would act as the welcome space and will anchor the overall design, thereby infusing a desert-inspired celebrity lived-in feeling.
This vision envisions a space that not only exudes luxury but also offers a harmonious synthesis of these three styles. Rich textures such as velvet and silk, Swarovski crystal chandeliers, and metallic accents infuse the area with the timeless allure of Hollywood glam. Meanwhile, the clean lines and geometric shapes emblematic of mid-century modern design manifest through furniture with elegant silhouettes. The incorporation of iconic pieces and memorabilia adds a touch of nostalgia, honoring the celebrity's journey. To infuse modernity, sleek materials such as mirrors, glass, polished marble, and polished brass will be integrated.
