Indholdsfortegnelse for December 2019 i Home & Decor

Once again, we are at the end of another year. While some of us are still grappling to come to terms with how fast the time has flown by, others are relieved to have made it through and still be standing proud. I think we should all be thankful for the lessons we’ve learnt and the people we have had the pleasure of connecting with in the past 11 months. I like to spend my December planning home gatherings, because they give me the opportunity to catch up with family and friends I may have inadvertently ignored over the course of the year owing to my hectic schedule. This also gives me the perfect reason to spruce up my abode, and dress it up with festive floral accents for the…

No time to shop? These colourful velvet baubles are available from www.limelace. co.uk at $33 for a pack of four. Alright, we may be cheating a little here – since this dark blue velvety hue is derived from a combination of its texture and actual colour – but the resulting tone is so unique, it would be remiss of us if we did not accord it the recognition it deserves. Part of its allure comes from the way light bounces off the textured yet smooth surface of the object, creating a lovely ombre effect. There is also a sense of sensuality and cosiness, inviting one to reach out and run a finger or two over it. This lovable blue helps to add depth to a space, and is just as ideal…

Kenzo Takada, who retired from fashion more than 20 years ago, is now channelling his creative juices into styling homes and interior design. Despite the change, the 80-year-old innovator, who remains rooted in his design philosophy, discusses his legacy and the recurring Japanese influences on his bodies of work. To say that Kenzo Takada is one of the most influential Japanese –nay, global – fashion designers of the 20th century would not be an overstatement. A flag-bearer for “stopping at nothing to achieve your dreams”, Kenzo was the first male student to attend Tokyo’s Bunka Fashion College. A few years later, upon the urging of his teacher, he took a boat (he could not afford a plane ticket) to Paris, stopping by India and Africa on his way there, and…

The way homes and buildings look are reflective of a place, due to the abundance of certain building materials or the traditional techniques that have been used. In some parts of Asia, elements such as thatched roofs and wood carvings give the houses their distinct characteristics. As a result of the availability of technology, or in some cases the lack of, as well as market demands and the retention of traditional industries, craft is more apparent in some countries compared to others. Singapore faces a dilemma in that we are undergoing rapid development. Traditional crafts are disappearing, either because of a lack of succession from the younger generation or due to traditional crafts being replaced by more efficient means of production. One of the agendas of Archifest is to create…

It has been a great year for the interior design industry, with an abundance of impressive projects being completed by some of the best design studios in Singapore. My team and I had the privilege of showcasing the most beautiful homes here over the course of the past 11 months but there were some projects, which stood out more prominently with their excellent use of space, and innovative design elements. This presentation recognises those creative teams, that have managed to achieve brilliant results regardless of budget or time contraints. It is heartening to see the amount of talent that exists in the industry, and skilled professionals, who continuously work to build breathtaking spaces for local homeowners. I strongly recommend the following interior design firms if you happen to be on…

PENTHOUSE AT NASSIM ROAD BUDGET: $200K AND ABOVE Home to a well-travelled, cosmopolitan couple approaching retirement, this apartment was designed to exude a welcoming and homely vibe. Warm, rich-hued walls and leather armchairs create a visually restful atmosphere in the living area, and provide a great backdrop for pops of colour that come in the form of flowers and art. As the homeowners were avid collectors who had built up an extensive collection of paintings, wine, and objet d’art, the home was also designed to be a canvas that showcased these personal treasures. PRIVATE APARTMENT IN ORCHARD ROAD BUDGET: $200K AND ABOVE Bright pops of colour infuse this stylish home with a vibrant energy that brings a smile to guests when they enter. Design Intervention used neutrals in the rest…

3-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT IN THE EAST BUDGET: $130K-$200K Even though the colours for this bachelor’s pad focus mainly on dark masculine tones, the home remains spacious and visually uncluttered, thanks to the remodelled open layout. Joey created interest with different textures, including a marbled floor and soft furnishings with a pop of colour, to balance out the largely monochromatic palette. The living room features a TV on a tripod stand instead of the usual console, while the wall behind it conceals electronics. Between the bedroom and living space, a sliding barn door featuring custom artwork creates a talking point for guests. FOUR-ROOM HDB APARTMENT AT MCNAIR TOWERS BUDGET: $130K-$200K The modern profile of this BTO flat sets it apart from the rest with a feature wall half-clad in stone, and…

ONE-BEDROOM DUPLEX CONDO IN TANJONG RHU BUDGET: $80K Natural materials like wood, leather, and stone dominate this home, which is made cosy and intimate by a dark colour palette. As space was a concern, Kelvin created a loft extension for a study area and plenty of concealed storage in unexpected areas such as behind the vertical garden. Inside, a double-storey stone wall feature draws the eye upwards and enhances the height of the space. 2-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT IN BUKIT BATOK BUDGET: $130K Kelvin created an airy, light-filled loft according to the homeowner’s specifications, and used white to visually expand the space. The use of translucent elements, like the Kartell Ghost chairs, allows the natural light in the room to pass through, while statement pieces like the iconic Marc Newson chair…

FOUR-ROOM HDB APARTMENT IN JURONG EAST BUDGET: $30K-$80K Once rather dingy, this space underwent a major transformation to become the bright, contemporary home that it is today.

While keeping the Scandinavian feel the clients wanted, Wolf Woo also injected more character with retro touches and black accents. Cinder blocks clad the entrance wall, serving as a dramatic visual highlight, while boldly-patterned soft furnishings echo the style. THREE-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT IN UPPER SERANGOON BUDGE: $30K-$80K Wolf Woof went above and beyond the design brief by adding punches of playfulness and character to this Scandi-styled abode.

In town to witness the fun and unique interpretations of one of Frag’s leather seats — Ele — redesigned by eight Singapore design and architectural practices, we caught up with Franco di Fonzo, CEO and third-generation of Italian family business Frag, to find out more about leather-making and his views on furniture design. HOW DID FRAG BEGIN WORKING WITH LEATHER? My great grandfather was in the business of buying and reselling of leather. During the 1920s in Italy, there were many shoemakers, but there weren’t agents who sold or distribute leather. He saw the opportunity and after distributing leather to shoemakers, he started making belts and wallets, before moving on to fashion items like jackets and dresses. Then, 40 years ago, we started producing leather chairs. As the business grew,…

PASTEL PARADE Colour trends continue to veer towards pastel colours, be it for paint or soft furnishings. However, soft shades of pink, blue and yellow are gaining favour as well. The light hues serve as a happy middle ground between interiors decked out in neutrals and those doused in strong colours. For a cheerful interior, combine delicate rose and green shades with natural materials. Furnishings in pastels pair well with dark coloured walls, another colour trend that is still going strong. “THE PASTEL COLOURS AND BRIGHT POPS OF COLOUR IN FURNISHINGS ARE REMINISCENT OF THE ART DECO ERA AND 80S SOUTHWESTERN DESIGN IN THE UNITED STATES.”– TERENCE CHOO, MARKETING AND PR MANAGER, P5 NEO FARMHOUSE Will the farmhouse trend subside? According to interior designers, it is set to stay. The…

FOUR-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT IN ORCHARD BUDGET: $200K-PLUS An open concept visually expands the space and allows natural light to pass through this home. In the kitchen, Selina made sure the owners had plenty of storage space for their cooking needs, and a large kitchen island perfect for preparing and serving food. In the equally expansive bathroom, she upped the luxe factor with his-and-hers basins and a dressing area clad in the same soothing dark tones used throughout the home. TERRACE HOUSE IN OPERA ESTATE BUDGET:$200K-PLUS This single-storey home is flooded with natural sunlight, thanks to a skylight in the dining area and glass-louvered windows between the bedroom and living area. The modernity of the sleek monochromatic palette is balanced out by nostalgic elements such as decorative ventilation bricks reminiscent of…

CONDOMINIUM APARTMENT AT MEYER ROAD BUDGET: $80K-$130K Inspired by the whimsical colour charts of Wes Anderson’s movies, this home features warm pastels set against cool greys and whites. Buttercup-yellow barstools pop against the soft blush of the kitchen cabinetry, while a peach-toned ceiling draws the eye to the dining area. Arches and curves are also a prominent feature, with the open-concept dry kitchen delineated by pink micro-cement flooring outlined with a rounded corner. The ceiling rose and classic cornices, as well as the terrazzo flooring, are subtle nostalgic elements that set off the modernity in the rest of the house. CONDOMINIUM APARTMENT AT HOLLAND ROAD BUDGET: $130-$200K A dramatic modern interior was created with the feature wall in the living room displaying an array of framed minimalist artworks hung above…

TWO-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT IN ORCHARD BUDGET: $160k As the homeowners aren’t into heavy-duty cooking, Parenthesis proposed open-concept living that merges the kitchen, dining, and living rooms. A teardrop island functions both as a transitional area and a useful foyer counter. A dedicated space for serving drinks sits in the dining area, and features fluted glass and a mirror backing. In the living room, marble-clad drawers create a soft contrast with the ash tones of the wood. THREE-BEDROOM HDB APARTMENT IN MARINE PARADE BUDGET: $120k Parenthesis blended the modern and classic in its interpretation of the traditional shaker-style kitchen with a freestanding oven and farmhouse sink. However, the overall design still appears contemporary with cabinets painted in muted Dartmouth green and set off with brass handles. For visual interest, hand-painted tiles…

FOUR-ROOM HDB APARTMENT IN FERNVALE, SENGKANG BUDGET: $30K-$80K A haven from the bustle of the neighbourhood, the black and white palette of this bachelor pad is easy on the eye and creates a relaxed atmosphere. It also provides a great backdrop for the homeowner’s extensive book collection, with shelf upon tome-laden shelf the centrepiece of the living room. To ensure the home remained spacious and visually uncluttered, the walls between the living area and one of the bedrooms were removed. Three-D Conceptwerke also suggested a black epoxy flooring instead of tiling or screed, so that the black reflected the light back into the space. FOUR-ROOM HDB APARTMENT IN BUKIT BATOK BUDGET: $80K-$130K Three-D Conceptwerke worked hand-in-hand with the client to conceptualise this one-of-a-kind space. The walls of the dining and…

The TV used to stick out like a sore thumb in the living room. Now, it’s an integral part of the interior, whether for watching Netflix, browsing Youtube, or playing Overcooked.

As a TV, The Wall Luxury offers vibrant, ultra-sharp hues so you can enjoy a larger-than-life cinematic experience. Discerning homeowners will also be glad to know that it can be customised to their preferred size, viewing ratio and even shape, thanks to its modular panels, while maintaining its 30mm slim profile.

BEACH CHIC Instead of the frumpy and formal Christmas styling, consider creating a sultry and laid-back atmosphere with decorative accents in natural textures and warm, earthy colours. This absolutely casual and quirky look is especially ideal for homes along the waterfront, with salty breezes blowing through, adding to the charm of this alternative to the usual Scandi style. DARK & SENSUAL Some homeowners may be apprehensive about delving into such a sombre hue over the holidays, but the truth is blue is the hot new colour of 2019. This year, a range of blues have been in; whether it’s moody navy, aquamarine or relaxed grey-blue, they all work to create a calm atmosphere in the home. These blue hues are reminiscent of the tranquil sky and sea, and you will…

FOUR-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT WITH A POOL IN RIVER VALLEY BUDGET: $200k and above With the entrance to this apartment situated in the middle of the home's layout, Sarah was able to divide up the house into two main areas: the private wing on the left which comprises the family’s bedrooms, and a public space for entertaining on the right. This recreational space was designed with a luxe-resort feel and an open concept for a seamless flow and an unrestricted view of the spectacular city skyline. While the home's design offers plenty of storage space, it is all tucked out of sight – the wardrobes in the master bedroom, for example, are concealed by motif wall paneling, while the TV console is hidden behind a sliding art piece on the wall.…

THREE-BEDROOM CONDO APARTMENT IN KEPPEL BAY BUDGET: $200K AND ABOVE Situated by the sea, this apartment is a mix of the glamourous and pragmatic.

Out in the balcony, a clear glass bar table and chairs provide a recreational space without being a visual distraction.

SEMI-DETACHED HOME IN SENGKANG BUDGET: $80K-$130K Minimalist and airy was the request for this home. To achieve this, it was redone from top to bottom, including the ceilings and electrical works, so all the trunking and pipes could be rerouted and concealed. The open-plan kitchen includes an island that extends into the dining space. W5A also introduced lots of neatly organised storage options. For example, veneer panels form a streamlined look that conceals a refrigerator and a larder beneath the staircase.

Can I be perfectly honest with you? Before the launch of Ikea’s Markerad collection, I had never heard of Virgil Abloh. I know — I can practically hear the outraged gasps of Off-White fans everywhere. So when Ikea announced its collaboration with Virgil Abloh, I made it a point to check out the luxury fashion label. It’s easy to see why Abloh’s style has captured the hearts of millenials all over the world. With its signature quote marks, four-way arrows and industrial design, the brand creates a visual disruption that calls attention to the ordinary and rethinks what we take for granted. It’s edgy, iconic, and definitely far from #basic. In the Markerad collection, we see pretty much the same brand identity: the startlingly bright orange labels sewn on gray…
