The deliriously inviting Miss'Opo Guesthouse in Porto, Portugal

The photography of this project is so undoubtedly juicy and fresh that my first thoughts were 'WOW, what a funky apartment', but in actual fact it's more than that. It's a swanky and chic guesthouse in Porto, Portugal. Cutely named the Miss'Opo guesthouse, it's concoction comes from a true desire to merge travellers with locals, to creatively inspire everyone who steps through the door, and to create a very unique and interactive environment that is warm both visually and physically. And when I say warm I refer to the glorious deep mahogany colours that are embodied in the wall treatment, in the charmingly chosen furniture pieces, as well as in the quirky accessories, such as the bike seats and the blouses suspended in mid-air to create an air of theatricality.

I also love the attention to detail in terms of the guest's journey and movement through the space. The living, kitchen and general common areas are busy with fun, colour and laughter so that your creativity is fed at every intersection of man and interior. Then once you retreat into the guest bedroom, the mood is calmer, softer, less colourful. This is where you align all the creative inspiration collected from previous spaces within the Miss'Opo guesthouse and delve into creating your own ideas. Lucky, then, that the bed has a little nook that can house the art diaries and travel journals of visiting creative minds.
