House Tours: Homes with fabric, wood, stone and mirror feature walls

1/10

Owned by a dental surgeon, 3,100sqf four-bedroom penthouse in Tanjong Rhu was layered with luxurious textures and rich tones to make its river-view even more dramatic. The homeowner worked with a commercial contractor to deck out his home in all manner of plush finishes.

Feature walls in the living and dining area are clad in nubbly fabric panels and rugged stone to add natural texture. The dusky backdrops also frame the homeowner’s designer furniture, like the Eames La Chaise and Barcelona daybed by Mies van der Rohe and the Box sofa from Turkish design group Autoban.
