Mid-Century Modern / Asian Foyer

Location: Santa Rosa Beach, FL

Designer Credits: Jeanette Turk

Project Overview:

The juxtaposition of artwork and decorative accents is essential for blending Mid-century modern and Asian design styles.  

Alter-like alcoves to display art and collectibles are essential to Asian design, and this element is most apparent in the foyer. The original artwork in the foyer of the Chinese fisherman, the antique slave collar and the campaign chair from Africa, and ancient opium pipes from Hong Kong complement the antique Chinese cabinet in the foyer. 

The original artwork throughout the house encompasses everything from traditional to contemporary, but the elements of each piece wink at our design vision for the space. 

The orange swoop bowl and mandarin vase in the main bedroom contrast fabulously with the abstract cityscape that evokes modern Hong Kong, while the books and wooden balls provide a grounding, stabilizing effect.
