Mixing the whimsy of Wonderland with an Asian interior decor aesthetic as well as elements of the Parisian lifestyle, Shinsuke Kawahara has created an eclectic paradise apartment.
With no actual bedroom, the apartment layout is already unique, featuring a serene Tea Room where Kawahara can go to for a peaceful escape. Rabbits fill every nook and cranny from porcelain figurines to mesh wire sculptures, adding a fairytale feeling to the home. Colorful kimono prints cover furnishings, rugs and curtains, and multi-hued glass vases create a busy and cheerful environment. The mix of tradition with modern as well as whimsical elements make for striking decor.
Anyone who likes the idea of having their own secret garden should consider emulating the bright, floral-infused Asian interior decor that Shinsuke Kawahara uses in his home.
