Holiday Haus

When longtime clients sought to breathe new life into a former rental property, a quaint 1930s-era bungalow, an enchanting transformation awaited to shape it into the renowned Holiday Haus. An idyllic retreat for visiting family and friends, this haven was envisioned as a cozy sanctuary radiating unique charm and warmth.

Comprising two bedrooms, a shared bath, and living, kitchen, and dining spaces all craving design cohesion, the vision for Holiday Haus was inspired by the allure of Swiss chalet-inspired aesthetics, an homage to the bungalow’s intrinsic architectural charm. Embracing a narrative of escapism and timeless elegance, the client yearned for a space that transported inhabitants to a place of nostalgia and comfort.

Our dedicated Austin interior design team meticulously curated the interiors to evoke the feel of a quaint boutique hotel, each room meticulously designed to cater to families with young children and friends seeking respite for a leisurely weekend retreat. Drawing inspiration from the evocative imagery of storybook illustrations from Heidi, we crafted a color palette that echoed the whimsical charm of alpine landscapes and rustic chalets, infusing each corner with a touch of old-world allure and modern sophistication.

A custom faux bois wall texture united the living spaces with an air of warmth and continuity, creating a seamless flow that tied together the essence of the bungalow’s Swiss-inspired design language. Surprises awaited in the cozy guest bathroom, where hand-painted ladybugs danced upon the walls, adding a playful touch of whimsy and sentimentality. Tailored details like the floor-to-ceiling peek-a-boo shower curtain with a sheer panel maximized the limited natural light, infusing the petite bath with an ethereal luminosity.

At Holiday Haus, every nook beckons with the promise of delightful moments and cherished memories. Guests can revel in games in the inviting living room or savor coffee on the serene screened porch, while the freestanding outbuilding, now reimagined as a media room and lounge, offers a cozy respite for reading or hosting movie nights. In every detail, from the rustic textures to the charming accents, the essence of a bygone era paired with contemporary comforts weaves a narrative of tranquility and elegance, inviting all who enter to experience the design expertise of Amity Worrel & Co.
