Something Blue Living: Saturday Swoon

OK people, be ready to turn green!

This weeks Saturday Swoon is an exceptionally stunning and beautifully designed boutique hotel in Mykonos, Greece.

The rustic original features combined with clever new shading.

The Design Hotels™ Projects main objective is to create hotel hospitality with a difference. A far cry from your usual boutique hotel, these spaces make you feel like you are visiting friends in their gorgeous holiday house, as opposed to booking into a hotel.

Old shutters create a stunning and warm backdrop to an understated check in a area.

San Giorgio Mykonos started its humble beginnings in the ’90s thanks to a successful local fisherman who laid claim to a piece of Paradise Beach. Step into 2012 and the 34-room property has changed hands to the neighboring Paradise Club.


Bohemian living at its best!

Long-time friends of Design Hotels™, proprietors Thomas Heyne and Mario Hertel together with the owner Markos Daktilidis approached the brand to design a new hospitality experience.

A hammock over the pool, why didn't anyone think of that before?

With a chill out area like this, who needs to leave? Simplicity and style in an understated combination of features.


A collection of rustic tables and chairs creates a dining area for perfectly cosy dining experiences.

Each room in the hotel has been uniquely decorated with a variation of items that bring out the best features of the space. A neutral palette with the addition of beautiful textiles in cushions and rugs warms the environment and at the same time creates an eclectic feel of rustic beach living.


Typically Mediterranean white washed built in cabinets keeps the space open and light.

By combining silver and wood accessories set against a white backdrop of walls, floors and cabinets sets a mood that can easily be updated and changed as desired. Finding unique items of furniture are well worth the hunt as the look remains totally original and uber stylish!

Boldly patterned textiles provides an injection of colour and drama against a neutral backdrop.

Dining al fresco, wood and white against natural stone you cant go wrong!

The theme of silver and white with naturally sea washed wood is a sure win combination for relaxed beach living.
Hanging baskets and hats provides stylish storage solutions


Hanging rugs and soft interesting lighting combined with a white canopy bed and rustic furniture makes this room so inviting and romantic.


Soft grey walls and an patterned tile echo the theme of silver, white and wood here.

This room above has all the combinations of an example of Something Blue Living, I absolutely love the collection of old furniture, especially the dramatic rattan chair in the corner. The use of driftwood as a curtain rail is so clever and easy to achieve. Making a space unique and interesting achieved by reusing old and combining new to marry the look together.
