Customising your furniture is now convenient and affordable with the new service from furniture retailer Courts. Shoppers can customise everything from sofas to wardrobes easily. Start by looking through the wide range of materials — including the leather-like fabric, as seen in Courts’ latest furniture collection (above). Then take home fabric swatches and furniture postcards (necessary measurements provided) to picture them against your home’s size, lighting and wall colours. Finally, confirm your selections when you are ready. “
The Courts customisation service is available at all Courts stores. Visit www.courts.com.sg for more information.
Those with uncompromising taste can now personalise their light switches as well. Avatar On by Schneider Electric is a suite of switches that come with customisable covers, ranging from wood-look finishes to, if you like, a printed image of your favourite holiday destination. The snap-on interchangeable covers are easy to remove, too. This custom switch will ensure that you stay on trend and in style every day of the year.
