At last, a man cave without a trace of leather upholstery, dark wood paneling, or sports memorabilia. Palm Beach-based interior and textile designer Mally Skok transformed a guest bedroom at this year’s Kips Bay Decorator Show House in Palm Beach to suit the cultured gentleman in residence.

Skok, known for her joyful pattern play, challenged herself to survey the hand-painted fabrics and wallcoverings from her latest collection through a more masculine lens. The well-traveled man, she thought, would have a strong design point of view and prefer to be surrounded by mementos from his adventures across the world. The bedroom is also deeply personal to Skok herself, who has filled the space with pieces that reflect her own unique travel and life experiences.

“It’s not a room that one could have put together overnight,” says Skok. “I drew a lot of pieces from my own personal collection to show exactly what type of person would live here.”

Skok’s Shantaram wallpaper, framed by turquoise crown molding, sets a lively backdrop for a collection of vintage furniture and artwork. One of her own desks serves as a bar for in-room cocktails, while artisanal pottery, Zulu baskets from her native South Africa, and colorful prints from Chairish add collected layers. Covered in Skok’s woven South Ken fabric, the headboard’s blue, ochre, and cinnamon palette informed the custom bedding designed by Pioneer Linens. Skok selected the chunky, woven pendant light by Made Goods to play up the room’s masculine feel.

The Palm Beach bedroom’s dusty red accents extend to the adjoining bathroom. The linear Artistic Tile flooring echoes Skok’s Shantaram Mini wallcovering, while the fluted Kohler vanities recall the bedroom’s rattan furnishings. These thoughtful design details ensure the globe-trotting guest feels like he’s back in a favorite under-the-radar hotel suite escaping the bustle of the outside world.

“It’s just a little bedroom, but it’s a lovely place where one can close the door, help themself to a Negroni and watch Netflix without having to talk to anyone,” Skok says.
