Key Design Styles & Furniture Pairing
Modern luxury
The main goal for modern luxury is to achieve a high-end feel while maintaining comfort and sophistication.
Using large, plush, low-back modular sofas, using textures such as velvet and rich leather. Marble or dark-lacquer surfaces for consoles and dining tables. Metallics, colors gold or bronze are used sparingly for chair legs and lighting fixtures to add a touch of glamour.

Contemporary Minimalism
Contemporary Minimalism maximizes space and light; focus on purity and calm.
Using simple, unadorned pieces in a neutral palette such as white, grey and beige. Functional, handle-less built-in cabinets that disappear into the wall. Dining sets often feature slim legs and light wood to maintain a visually "light" footprint.

Persian / Peranakan Fusion
Incorporating vibrant, historical, and patterned elements.
The main pieces such as sofas and beds remain Modern or Contemporary to prevent clutter. The fusion is introduced through accent furniture: deep-toned wood side tables, brightly patterned Persian rugs used as a focal point, or Peranakan-style printed cushions and vases. This allows for tradition without overwhelming the small space.

How the Furniture Reinforces the Concept
Furniture is generally Modern: It offers comfort, scale, and clean lines, which are necessary for modern living and HDB spaces.
Cultural Identity is Custom-Built: The spiritual and cultural identity is integrated into permanent fixtures such as niche display and Mihrab feature wall ensuring the house retains its character even if the homeowner changes a sofa or a chair. This makes the design timeless.
This synergistic approach ensures that every project is both a practical, modern Singaporean home and a reflection of the client's cultural and spiritual values.
