ART ART ART — but make it local. What’s a home without (at least one piece of) art?
Homeowner, cat mom, and Singaporean content creator Samantha Joy Loh (@holoh.there) recently discovered, through her home renovation journey, a serious adoration for art created by local artists, specifically those where female empowerment sits at the forefront of the creator’s vision.
For her and her hubby’s 4-room HDB Resale Corner unit, Sam stuck to her penchant.
The result? A fun, colourful and retroesque home, with artwork in every form, as well as ultra-cutesy decor filling your eyes and heart with so much inspiration…Inspiration for all things creative, and in some way, inspiration to follow in her footsteps and shine a light on locality.
Our favourite picks of local art and decor in Samantha’s abode:
