Rosewood Baha Mar

Residential in style, public spaces were designed to flow harmoniously between the foyer and into the Living Room and onto the Library. Within the lobby, walls are adorned with a bespoke mural, hand-painted by the artists of SilverHill Atelier, that serves as a focal point and creates visual separation between the various spaces. A large, custom-made vitrine nearby displays a curated collection of the hotel’s objects. 

The Living Room mural showcases sweeping island views in the painting styles of John Hussey and Milton Homer Williams, both ex-patriot artists who passed through the Bahamas. SilverHill Atelier worked closely with local artist John Cox to develop the final concept. The color arrangement was imperative to the design and the Wimberly Interiors team selected a sophisticated palette of neutrals, highlighted by rich tones of green, blue and charcoal. Purposely avoiding the expected color scheme of monochrome or vivid brights, the mural acts as a visual tool that blurs the lines between indoors and out. 

In the guestrooms, a thoughtfully curated blend of furnishings and finishes elevates the ambience with a redefined interpretation of luxury Bahamian design. A foundation of luminous and refined hues, including crisp whites, subtle gray washes, and rubbed ebony finishes, sets the stage for an invigorating atmosphere. Guided by the spectacular views and panoramic sunsets, color punctuations of Caribbean blues, coral, and lavender add contrast. Accent pieces that showcase local craftsmanship, including woven rattans and intricately painted lacquers are incorporated into the design.
