Difference from Contemporary Island Resorts: Formal, Not Casual

A tropical interior that is distinctly colonial rather than resort-like. Contemporary island resorts feature earthy tones, low-slung furniture close to the ground, walls that can completely disappear, and decorations from local crafts. Colonial style, in contrast: walls are whitewashed solid walls, furniture has formal silhouettes with height and armrests, dining tables are paired with six matching chairs, and tables are set with porcelain and silverware. It is a place where one would dress neatly for dinner. Avoid: using earthy color palettes, making seating low and loose, completely blurring the indoor-outdoor boundary, using local handicrafts as primary decorations.

一個明顯是殖民而非度假的熱帶室內。當代海島度假是土色系、低矮、家具貼近地面、牆可以完全消失、裝飾來自當地工藝;殖民風相反:牆是刷白的實牆、家具是有高度與扶手的正式輪廓、餐桌配六張成套的椅子、桌上有瓷器與銀器。它是一個要穿著整齊吃晚餐的地方。避免:使用土色系的大地配色、把座位做得低矮鬆散、讓室內外完全沒有分界、用當地工藝品當主要的裝飾。
