What does a flight attendant’s home look like?
Living out of a suitcase for much of the year, a private jet attendant insisted his Kai Tak, Hong Kong apartment feel like home, not a hotel – complete with feng shui elements
As a flight attendant on a private jet, Sean Li spends only half the year in Hong Kong, and many nights in luxury hotels around the world. No surprise, then, that design inspiration from those high-end hospitality stays would feature in Li’s plans to personalise the new 762 sq ft Kai Tak apartment he’d bought off the plan in 2021.
But there was one thing he knew wouldn’t suit him.
“When I do come home, my time here is precious – I want it to feel like a home, not a hotel,” he says.
This wasn’t Li’s first renovation; his previous apartment was kitted out in art deco style, which, after a while, felt too “busy” to be relaxing. This time, he wanted a look with longevity.
His ideas synced with the “young, energetic” team from Epic Interior Design, he says.
