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.

"I am half-Peranakan, and have always been drawn to loud colours and the Oriental style, with a French twist. My designer picked out several prints with butterflies, birds and flowers like peonies and engaged a Chinese artist to illustrate three murals, including the floral motif in the master bathroom,' says the owner.

This style extends to the powder room where a blue-andbronze sakura blossom wallpaper, and mirrored cabinetry, were paired for a luxurious ambience. “We wanted an elegant surprise effect upon entering, with the idea to create a soft-toned jewellery box,” shares the Design Intervention team.

The master bedroom is a restful oasis decked out in earthy tones. A clever use of materials keeps it looking opulent. The furniture is mirror-clad; heavy blackout curtains with a metallic sheen create an intimate setting; while the gleaming and a faux fur bed throw provide plush comfort. See more of the home here.

This colourful 1,650sqf 3-bedroom apartment in Tanjong Rhu has bespoke furniture that matches its stunning view!

Their gorgeous view is the inspiration behind many design decisions – from the refective end tables that bring the view indoors, to the bespoke Lagoon rug whose design echoes the movement of water in the Geylang River.
