CONSCIOUSLY CURATED DESIGN
Welcome to The Tides, a boutique residence located on the seafront in Cliftonville in Margate, next door to The Albion Rooms, the alternative hotel/bar owned by The Libertines.
Each of our rooms has been designed around a different country, offering consciously curated and immersive spaces that are inspired by our travels.
Our suites have been handcrafted with as many vintage & reworked items as possible, to create a signature aesthetic that hasn’t cost the Earth.
EACH PIECE OF FABRIC, FURNITURE & DECORATION HAS A STORY TO TELL.
Every inch of these rooms has been lovingly imagined and styled by the owners, using predominantly secondhand and recycled materials. Each piece of fabric, furniture and decoration has a story to tell, or has been carefully designed to fit the space.
You won’t find any high street decor here - just one of a kind trinkets and treasures that have been collected and given a new lease of life, together forming a unique aesthetic that aims to provide a space in which you can truly immerse yourself and escape for the duration of your stay.
LOW FOOTPRINT DESIGN.
From creating original artworks with left over paint, to recycling old coffee grounds to add texture to the walls; this project is a “love letter to the repurposed, second-hand and vintage”. We have upholstered our own furniture, reworked damaged splashbacks and handmade every cushion using leftover fabric offcuts. We have also sourced everything from furniture and curtains, to plants and cocktail sets as preloved items; allowing the locally available pieces to steer the evolution of the design process and ensuring we avoid buying new products wherever possible.
