Paired with a spick-and-span environment, this stunning combination of cultural elegance truly speaks for itself for what it means to call home.

Interior Designer’s Thoughts
The homeowner requested for a Balinese interior design with a modern twist. As a frequent traveller and being a pet owner of two felines, having a home that was functional for all its inhabitants was one of the key aspects in the design brief. To achieve this, the interior designer suggested installing slip and scratch resistant vinyl flooring at the communal area where the pets would often roam around. When it comes to art decor and personal touches in the home, much of it was drawn from his travel inspirations spanning across Southeast Asian culture and heritage. To optimise the space near the entrance, a shoe storage cabinet is seamlessly enjoined with a dining bench to enhance spatial flow and movement. Original parquet floors remained in the bedrooms to create a separation between spaces, while adding warmth to the space. To keep a consistent design theme in the bedrooms, a partition wall was built to accommodate a recessed niche and cove lighting. This also heightens the space with an illusion of a full height headboard using an earthy accent colour that blends harmoniously with the rest of the interior. One of the bedrooms was converted into a dedicated home office and the idea was to keep it mainly functional and conducive for work from home days.
