Something old meets something new in the mix-and-match decor of this renovated maisonette in Hougang — home to finance professional Shelby Oon, her husband, daughter and mother-in-law. Here, she framed retro posters which she bought online.
Shelby mixes up a classic chandelier with a retro wall clock, a crafted bench from Thailand and colourful cushions and ottoman in her living room.
Wood-looking vinyl floors look just as nice as the real wood bench and stool.
Shelby has a wall hacked down to create the breakfast nook that opened up the kitchen. Glass blocks conceal the laundry while maintaining a look of openness. Wood veneer floors and cabinets balance the stark whiteness of the solid surface worktops.
Mosaic tiles turn the HDB Maisonette bathroom into a posh, hotel-inspired en suite.
Shelby crafted her own headboard with printed fabrics in a complementary range of colours. The refinished ottoman was a clever buy from second-hand shop Second Life.
