Relaxing, accessible and aesthetically pleasing community spaces are hard to come by, which is why Sher Maker designed a gorgeous reading room for the community in Chiang Mai, Thailand to enjoy.
When one thinks of reading rooms, dull colors with ample wall real estate comes to mind. This is what makes this particular interior to intriguing, as it deviates from the typically accepted notions of relaxing design to offer something bold and beautiful. The space's walls feature translucent blinds which offers privacy and less distraction from the outside world while still letting in as much natural light as possible. The floor features a deep blue colorway, which matches the chairs. This color choice perfectly complements the wooden accents and lush greenery which accents the interior.
