204 Tampines

Design in a Day (DIAD); HDB; 2018

This project was designed for a client working in the hospitality industry, who wanted to replicate the calming environment of a hotel at home. We focused on styling the living and dining area of her three-room flat.

Notes from our stylists

  • Reconfigured the spatial layout to optimise the floor space of the client.

  • The client loves grey and had her walls recently painted grey. We developed a complementary colour palette with shades of blue and cream to create a sophisticated, calming, and streamlined look throughout the area.

  • Décor pieces such as mirrors, artwork, and materials with reflective finishes were added to lend an upscale touch. Rugs and cushions were used to soften the colder, harder accents of the space.

  • The client had expressed wanting to replace most of her existing furniture. For a functional, tailored fit, we selected key pieces and accessories for the home.
