House Tour: This interior designer’s eclectic-style walk-up apartment is full of vibrant shades!

House Tour: This interior designer's eclectic-style walk-up apartment is full of vibrant shades!
image

British interior designer Elly’s eclectic Asian-influenced style is abundantly present in her home here. She loves a good juxtaposition; such as pairing modern lucite Ghost chairs with the organic natural curves of the Suar wood dining table. The wingback armchair was specially upholstered in a duck-egg ikat fabric.

image

Elly went for a linen-texture wallpaper in turquoise blue for a pop of colour in the living space – it’s the perfect backdrop for the soft muted palettes of the framed vintage ikat textiles.

image

The coffee table is an antique Indian patara (dowry chest) made of carved wood and steel, and mounted on turned wood legs. A mother- of-pearl inlay tray on top of the table “lightens” the look of the dark wood tones.

image

An antique Chinese apothecary cabinet provides a statement-making platform for Elly’s brass items and Balinese shell mirror.

image

Elly’s textile collection includes pieces from Bali, Java, India, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam. She uses natural rattan and bamboo baskets and boxes to store her samples of tiles, fabrics and trims.

A sofa in the studio is made extra cosy and inviting with a throw and cushions clad in brightly hued fabrics.

image

The bedroom is a calm and serene space with layered whites and carved wood. Contrasting natural textures abound, from the Balinese capiz shell pendant to the traditional Javanese carved wood headboard and the Indian bone inlay table used as a nightstand.

image

Elly was drawn to the raw driftwood- effect wood of the mirror, which contrasts beautifully with the curved lines of the wooden plantation armchair.
