House Tour: The grandeur of Victorian-style interiors in this cosy 2-bedroom apartment
By Home & Decor Team -
With its signature large furniture pieces and ornate mouldings, the classic Victorian interior style would look a little out of place in most smaller Singapore homes. However, in this two-bedroom condominium apartment designed by Tammy Tay from ImagineSK66, the elegance of Victorian interiors matches well with the cosy space.
Keeping in mind that the homeowners are a young couple starting a family, Tammy made it a priority to design storage that could also sport Victorian-style elements which the homeowners favoured, as well as stick to the $30,000 budget. In the dining room, the built-in seater was paired with a plush tufted feature wall; its full-height dimensions create a sense of grandeur and the illusion of higher ceilings.
Wainscoting elements, such as those framing the living room mirror and shoe cabinet, are also kept slim and minimal.
Textural layers were important in creating the luxurious look, from the blue velvet chesterfield sofa and stone-look coffee table to the printed wallpaper. Some furniture and accessories were bought from ImagineSK66’s online store, such as the high back dining chairs and coffee table.
To create the same Victorian-style ambience in the master bedroom, Tammy proposed a geometric cream wallpaper and custom feature wall headboard. Completing the look are accessories and loose furniture pieces with glossy surfaces, and chandeliers and sconces throughout the home complete the look.
