As October draws to a close, pumpkins begin to appear, the evenings grow darker and there is a little more magic in the air. Halloween is the perfect excuse to embrace the unexpected, get creative and have some fun.
At our Design Studio, we love any reason to celebrate and with our colourful interiors, intriguing artwork and distinctive details, there is always something to discover.
The Art of the Unexpected
One of the joys of exploring one of our hotels is discovering something you might not have noticed before. From unusual sculptures and antique finds to patterned fabrics and hand-painted furniture, there is always an element of surprise. We believe interiors should tell a story and sometimes it is the unexpected details that make a room memorable. An unusual piece of artwork, a curious object tucked into a corner or a bold combination of patterns can add a sense of mystery and intrigue. Perhaps not quite a haunted house, but certainly somewhere full of surprises.
A Splash of Pumpkin Spice
It would not be Halloween without a little orange. Luckily, it is a colour we love throughout our hotels, whatever the season. From burnt orange upholstery to vibrant tangerine accents, it brings warmth and personality to a room. We particularly love pairing it with unexpected shades of blue, pink and green to create fresh, distinctive interiors. Whether through a statement armchair, patterned cushion or colourful lampshade, a little orange can go a long way. No pumpkins required.
Dressing Up for the Occasion
Halloween is the perfect opportunity to have some fun with seasonal decorations. Pumpkins, autumn foliage, candlelight and seasonal flowers can transform a space, creating a welcoming atmosphere with a hint of mystery. Across our hotels, flowers, decorative objects and thoughtful finishing touches help create spaces that feel inviting and full of life. Halloween simply offers another opportunity to get creative.
Tricks, Treats and Celebrations
Of course, Halloween is not just about decorating. It is also a wonderful excuse to gather with friends, enjoy a cocktail and indulge in a few treats. Whether it is an evening spent in one of our lively bars, dinner surrounded by colourful interiors or a seasonal weekend escape, there is something special about celebrating this time of year. As the nights draw in, warm lighting, rich textures and inviting corners make the perfect setting for an autumn gathering. It is these details that make our hotels welcoming, whatever the occasion.
A Little Magic All Year Round
While Halloween comes around just once a year, we believe a sense of fun and imagination should never be seasonal. From unexpected artwork to distinctive patterns and decorative details, it is often the little surprises that make an interior memorable.
So, here is to pumpkins, colourful patterns, a little mischief and finding magic in the everyday. Happy Halloween.
