Following a trend that’s gaining popularity in the design world, interior designers Ronald Akili, the PTT Creative Team, and Singapore-based Takenouchi Webb, who all worked in partnership with Andra Matin as he designed the hotel, collectively decided to position the beds of the Garden and Pool suites in the middle of the room. Rather than looking at the closet doors, as fun as they may be, guests now get to look onto the patio and enjoy views of the gardens and pool area outside their rooms. So although it may seem counterintuitive, next time you’re rearranging the bedroom, consider following the example of the designers of the Katamama hotel and place your bed in the middle of the room.
