Holiday Haus
We were approached by longtime clients with a desire to give new life to a former rental property. The 1930s-era bungalow was longing to become Holiday Haus, a welcoming space for their visiting family and friends, as well as a home away from home with a truly unique charm.
The main house included two bedrooms, a shared bath, as well as living, kitchen, and dining spaces that needed design unification. An overall Swiss Chalet-inspired style was chosen because it felt right with the existing architecture. The homeowner loved the idea of a space that would truly feel like it transported you to another place and time.
Our Austin interior design team furnished and decorated the home as if it were a personalized boutique hotel. The goal was to establish rooms that served a family with small children and friends sharing accommodations for a long weekend. We adopted a color palette based on storybook pictures from Heidi. We then created a custom faux bois wall texture design to provide warmth, consistency, and connection between all the spaces.
Hand-painted ladybug walls in the bathroom created a playful and sentimental surprise in this cozy guest house. The limited natural light is captured through the tailored floor-to-ceiling peek-a-boo shower curtain with sheer panel, an essential for this petite bath.
Guests can enjoy games in the living room and coffee on the screened porch. The freestanding outbuilding, originally used as a home office, was converted into a media room and lounge — a comfortable place for reading or hosting movie nights!
