Interior Designer’s Thoughts
The homeowner requested a modern classic interior style with a blend of traditional design elements such as wainscoting, double cornices and hints of gold embellishments for their family home. They emphasised on having ample storage space, shelving units and cosy nooks for their lifestyle needs. As they often host family gatherings and activities, an open-concept layout was proposed to create ease of interaction and spatial flow. To break the monotony of the plain white wall at the entryway, the interior designer suggested incorporating rattan finishes on the built-in shoe cabinet. Keeping practicality in mind especially for their young son, adjustable louvre grills with white borders were installed to accentuate a traditional look and feel. The sliding glass door in between the dining and living area was built to create a sense of segregation whenever they needed. Countering the spacious dining area, the interior designer suggested building a platform beside it to serve as a multi-functional use of space for additional storage, lounging and a place for their helper to sleep in. The arch walls were built to add visual interest to the space as seen at the entrance of the kitchen and master bedroom.
