In Okwiri's master bedroom, simplicity takes centre stage with its plain white walls, serving as a serene backdrop to the handcrafted king-size Lamu bed and impeccable lighting. This carefully curated space creates a mood that oscillates according to preference, providing an intimate sanctuary for winding down.

The Jacuzzi and walking closet elevate the room to a larger-than-life experience. Okwiri, reflecting on his design choices, shared, "I preferred to have plain walls to create a calm and restful space when I am winding down, with less noise."

This intentional design not only amplifies the luxurious atmosphere but also adds a personal touch to his night-time rituals, making his master bedroom a haven of tranquillity within his enchanting abode.

Venturing outside, a monochrome floor, a rustic table crafted from treasured boat wood, and a mirror reflecting the outdoor allure painted a picture of outdoor elegance. Okwiri's investment in his space showcased a deep adoration for his friends, ensuring they too indulged in his curated haven.

And when probed about the future, Okwiri, hinted at settling down.

"I am ready to settle, and I am dating at the moment," he quipped, leaving the air filled with anticipation of the next chapter in his enchanting life.
