1. A characterful apartment in Orchard
When tasked with refreshing the interiors of this apartment in downtown Singapore, designer Nikki Hunt revelled at the opportunity to wield her signature application of pattern and colour in crafting a stylish yet comfortable abode that represents its occupants’ diverse cultural experiences.
Encompassing a unified selection of elements and styles, the home shows off its continental and Asian design influences proudly, making for a comfy, classic residence that is warmly welcoming and utterly liveable.
The apartment is home to a husband and wife, their teenage son and daughter, and their pet dog and two helpers. The husband, who collects Indian art and sculptures, had lived in Japan for several years and appreciated the serene, calming quality of Japanese design. He requested that Japanese-inspired elements be incorporated into his personal spaces.
The wife, who is partial to a soft palette and Chinese motifs and design details, had resided in the US and was a fan of the classic American East Coast ambience; she asked that the main entertainment areas communicate a crisp, Hamptons-like feel.
