Ever wondered why your friend's home exudes a certain X-factor you can't really put into words? More and more homeowners are choosing to express themselves through interior design and decor, moving away from the cookie-cutter "BTO look". If this is the direction you're exploring, here are some tips to get you started.
Collectables and memories...
Do you enjoy watching dopamine decor reels? Before adding those recommended must-haves to your cart, how about taking a trip down memory lane with the items you already own?
These items could include photographs, art, souvenirs from travels, heirlooms, books, and so many more. Customised cabinets or open shelvings are neat options for displaying your past and growing collection of knick-knacks.
As you step into your apartment and are greeted with your cherished objects, it feels like coming home.
Make room for your personal interests
Think about some of your passions and hobbies. If you like arts and crafts, consider dedicating a space and workstation for you to indulge in your interests.
It doesn’t have to be a whole room, even a corner is sometimes good enough. This allows your mind to switch from work-mode to relax-mode so you can let loose and enjoy your hobby. Over time, you'll find that these spaces start "taking after you"...
Create a focal point with unique furniture
Infuse a room with a treasured piece you love - this could be a mid-century modern chair or a walnut wooden coffee table. It’s even more meaningful to use inherited furniture like an antique clock from your grandmother, or a shelf handmade by your dad.
A vintage piece creates an immediate focal point when contrasted with modern decor.
Incorporate your favourite colours
Colours instantly set the tone of a room. Be it bright or muted, they can help tie the look of a home together. If you happen to like a bold colour, consider using accents, or colour drench a smaller part of the home such as the bathroom to give it a distinct character.
One of our clients, drawn to electric pink, shares how she balanced her love for a loud colour with the rest of her harmoniously eclectic apartment. The result is a space that reflects her personality yet comfortable to look at, and to unwind in with her favourite pastimes.

Choosing a new bed or mattress can be surprisingly confusing with all the different size names like Queen, King, California King, Full, Twin XL, etc! If you want to make an informed decision, it’s super helpful to look at Bed Sizes and Mattress Dimensions laid out clearly. Seeing the exact width and length measurements side-by-side helps you visualize how much space each size actually offers and whether it will fit comfortably in your room. It can save you from a costly mistake of buying a bed that's too big or too small for your needs.
