Design Down Under

This next destination brings us to a quirky Australian hotel called QT Gold Coast. The hotel's website gives a perfect description of Nic Graham + Associates design intent: "nostalgic surfer chic meets miami catwalk cool." This hotel is filled with bold, modern furniture, lighting and finishes that I'm convinced would brighten up anyone's mood. There seems to be so much to do and see, keeping artists, vacationers and surfers occupied. I personally love the custom light fixtures in the lobby (below) and feel they are a perfect addition to the space whether you are looking at it from below....

or above.

I also like how the quirky and modern beach vibe is carried through every space in a unique way and even as the function of spaces change, guests see repeated design elements and furniture pieces.

Bold patterns and clean, modern style continues into the guest rooms and complements the beautiful views of Australia. I also appreciate the graphic tile work in the bathroom complemented with mirror placement that reminds you to continue having fun!

And here is the hotel's Spa Q. I especially love the perfect mixture of textures found through this space with the metallics, basket light fixtures, metal chairs, and fur. 

And don't forget about the cafe, Fixx, complete with a variety of treats and an organic menu.

Be sure to explore the rest of the hotel or begin planning your Australian getaway by booking a stay at QT Gold Coast on their website!
