Last week, I got the opportunity to spend the night in one of the guest suites at The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton in Dallas. A dear friend and client is thinking of purchasing a residence there and asked me to join her to view the available floor plans.
I absolutely LOVED looking at all the different floor plans and walking through the decorated models. I probably should have taken more pictures, but at the time, I just wanted to enjoy the moment. I DID, however, noted a few details of the suite we stayed in…a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath appartment on the 15th floor.
Immediately, you are greeted by a stunning striped wallpaper that leads you from the foyer to a breathtaking view of downtown Dallas.
The stripes empty into the dining area where they are replaced with a soft tropical print. Even though the both patterns were dramatic, they were done in soft neutrals, so the space still felt calming and relaxing.
Of course, as you would expect from the Ritz, DETAILS play a big role….
Another detail…area rugs, custom cut and bounded to fit the room. The rugs create a soft surface over the gorgeous hardwood floors in all the bedrooms.
I loved the acrylic hardware used throughout. Its a fresh alternative to the more traditional “heavy” rods. They almost disappear into the wall, allowing the panels to take center stage.
The covered outdoor space. The building next door is the Ritz Hotel, which is “attached” to the Ritz Residences by a connecting hallway on the 2nd floor.
And of course, one of the best reasons to live in a downtown high-rise…the view!
No decisions were made that weekend, but that’s ok…maybe we’ll just have to do it again! 🙂
Hope I’ve inspired.
