Engaged couple Melissa Kuek and Chow Tze Keong are not moving into their conjugal home until after their wedding. But they’ve diligently prepared what will be their first abode months in advance.

To do up their 1,012sqf apartment, Melissa and Tze Keong worked with interior designer J.Q. Ong of Dwell ID. They wanted a sleek, urban flat with an edgy vibe and modernised Baroque pieces. J.Q. tied the look together with the couple’s chosen hue, purple.
