Contemporary furniture strikes a balance with old-school fixtures in this 1930s two-bedroom walk-up maisonette in East Coast.
Retro elements that came with the home inclde a red brick wall and plaster ceiling. Cushion, scarf and fossilised wood accessory (on round table), from Opulent.
For decor help, the homeowners turned to stylist and designer Ivan Sim, known for his eclectic style. The couple initially wanted an Art Deco look, but while out shopping for furniture, ended up with more modern and contemporary pieces. The pantry's cement walls fit in with the urban yet nostalgic feel.
The entry to the study is hidden behinda Victorian-inspired panel along the dining room's feature wall.
Ivan drilled holes into the teacups and saucers, then turned them upside down to make pretty bespoke lights for the walk-in wardrobe.
A mix of the modern and retro contributes to this apartment's whimsical, eclectic look. The stained glass pendant lamp and wallpaper with a tropical-foliage print give the reading corner in the master bedroom a colonial-style influence.
