I always travel with my Nala things because they change the whole energy of a hotel room in five minutes. When I was in Singapore for our launch, I checked into the beautiful Lloyds Hotel and emptied my suitcase like it was a mission. Placemat on the desk. Table runner on the console. Toiletries bag lined up in the bathroom. Pouch on the side table. Pillowcases on the bed inserts and all.

The best part was coming back after housekeeping and finding the Nala pillows perfectly arranged on the bed. Even the cleaning ladies understood the assignment.

If you spend a lot of time on the road, this is the trick. Bring a few pieces that carry your style and you instantly take ownership of the space. It stops feeling anonymous and starts feeling like your room.

Our home collection lands in KL on the 28th. Pack a couple of pieces the next time you travel and see how fast you can flip a standard room into something with character. Even Lloyds Hotel got the full Nala treatment.
