A 1,100sqf 5-room HDB home decked in chinoiserie prints and vintage-style furniture
There is incredible detail in every corner of this five-room flat, from the two different black-and-white tiles that greet visitors at the entrance to oriental furniture with traditional features like metal hinges. This decorative Chinoiserie style is the result of a collaborative effort between interior designer and the homeowner.
