When you?re re-designing a hotel located in a tropical paradise, the design possibilities are endless. Renowned interior designer David Flint Wood found himself in such a situation, when he transformed the guest rooms and suites of the Coral Sands Hotel, in a recent renovation of this luxurious Bahamian resort.

Wood?s design blends traditional English-inspired décor with island-inspired details ? the effect is a look that?s timeless, but with a defined sense of place. He achieved this through architectural fixtures like Palm Beach shutters by Hunter Douglas Hospitality at the windows and doors. These shutters provide excellent light control -- letting in just enough sun -- as well as ventilation. Plus, they?ll stand up well in the tropical climate, as they?re guaranteed to withstand the heat and provide ultraviolet protection ? after all, longevity is as important as style.
