Expat Living Singapore – July 2019

Art Deco is a trend that
just keeps resurging.
But how can you
integrate it into your
current style? We
ask four home décor
experts what they
would suggest to help
these two different
types of shoppers.


Design

Victoria Cheung, Sales & Marketing
Manager, Altfield Interiors
The colour palette I propose for this young
couple is an elegant and subtle neutral
palette with metallic accents, which is a
popular Art Deco colour scheme.

By focusing the décor efforts on
soft furnishing items such as cushions,
trimmings and chairs, they can easily
refresh the look and feel of their home,
without spending too much money on
permanent fixtures. These can all be
easily transported when they move in the
future, too.
Since they love entertaining, I would
suggest creating a feature wall in the
lounge or dining room. By covering one
wall in a geometric wallcovering they can
add visual interest and depth.
In the lounge or their bedroom,
Donghia’s Jazz fabric would be ideal for a
statement chair; it has a fun and dynamic
design interpreted in a timeless and neutral
colour palette.

WHO
THEY ARE
A young couple
who’ve just arrived
in Singapore. It’s their first
overseas posting and they aren’t
sure how long they’ll be here, so they
don’t want big-ticket items. However, as
they’ll be entertaining a lot, they want their
home to look elegant.
WHAT THEIR STYLE IS
She loves Art Deco – luxury fabrics and gold,
for instance – but he would like more subtle
design styles and isn’t convinced Art
Deco is for them.
