Designing Stunning Exteriors with a Passion for Interiors

Putting the wow factor into Samui’s homes with Oriental Living. Samui boasts an ever-expanding collection of homes for the island’s many visitors and residents. Many places impress with incredible views, but the interiors may lag behind the exteriors. A lot of villas may need a helping hand when it comes to furniture and décor. They’re supposed to be convivial places after all, whether for a couple or for a dozen or more guests. And that’s where Oriental Living steps in.

A Journey with Oriental Living – From Art Gallery to Interior Design Excellence

Oriental Living is the brainchild of Dutch-born Michael Dietvorst, who started the business 27 years ago as an art gallery. Together with Khun Alex W. Raksai and a very efficient team, he presents the best furniture, accessories and art from South-East Asia, China and India – the provenance is basically inspired by the Silk Road catchment area. The team manages every time to come up with collections that are a blend of the original and the satisfying. Both traditional and contemporary influences are to be seen in the showroom that Oriental Living has in Maenam. Step inside and you’ll see that immediately – there’s a vibrancy here that a good many villas can only hope to have.

Beyond the Showroom: Oriental Living’s New Show Home

There’s only so much that a showroom, however good, can achieve. Oriental Living will soon have an actual show home, which will really give you a much better idea of what they can do. The show home, which will be ready this September, is close by and will definitely be worth a visit.

Discovering Unique Pieces from Across the Region

Over the years Michael and Khun Alex have found many suppliers who fit their criteria of inspired design, and if you’re on Samui at the moment, you can drop in at the store and see the latest collection, all the products that have just come in from various places across the region. You’ll be warmly welcomed and offered some coffee. Feel free to browse to your heart’s content; the experience is much like stepping inside a gallery, and you’re a guest for as long as you choose to stay. Should you have any questions, friendly, knowledgeable staff are there to help. Fluent in English, Thai, Italian and with a working knowledge of Chinese, they’ll be able to give you informed advice.

From International Fairs to Hidden Treasures: Oriental Living’s Sourcing Expertise

Attending international fairs (they’ve just returned from Jakarta and Singapore) is something else that they do, gathering new contacts and fresh ideas along the way. But probably just as important is the harvest of treasures they hunt out themselves in the most out-of-the-way places. The small city lanes that no-one bothers with can be home to great artisans, and by doing a lot of footwork, they come across some wonderful products. Their contacts, new and old, send them the fruits of their labours; the store is filled with amazing and curious finds.

From Concept to Completion: Interior Design Expertise

Oriental Living is expert at turn-key furnishing and interior design for entire residential development projects; over the years they’ve worked with a number of top-end designers, including The Ridge, Samujana and Kanda Residences. But they’re equally at ease if you’re just looking for inspiration for your own home. So whether you’d like a ready-to-move-in solution, right own to the spoons and forks, or you’re just thinking of buying a table, these are the people to go to.

Interior Design with a Personal Touch

When it comes to projects, they also have an in-house designer, Khun Viu Chaiyasin, who can proceed from just a few ideas, fleshing out a look and a style that will complement the property. If you’re looking to start, continue or finish a project, big or small, the team can work within your budget and implement your ideas. Oriental Living prides itself on listening to clients’ needs and spending time getting to know them. And once the project has been completed, it’s still not time to say good-bye. The team also offers an after-sales service that includes a yearly inspection, which means that they’ll see potential problems before they occur.
