At a glance, one may mistake this charming home for a luxurious five-star suite. After all, the homeowners of this four-storey house possess a deep appreciation for the finer things in life. 

While embarking on the design of their home, they wanted a look that would reflect their preference for understated luxury and sophisticated taste. For that, they turned to the team at award-winning local design firm Prestige Global, who designed it from scratch – from reconfiguring the layout to selecting furniture. 

“For the living room, we chose silver travertine as a backdrop and paired it with a black Poltrona Frau sofa; the indirect LED lights, as well as the plush throw pillows, give the space a cosy ambience. To add a touch of drama, we placed a life-size horse sculpture lamp to divide the living and dining rooms,” says Jeremy Tay, director of Prestige Global. 

This careful curation of materials, colour and accessories certainly plays a role in the home’s decadent atmosphere. For instance, the grey velvet curtains in the open-concept dining area create an intimate mood, while the modern chandelier adds grandeur to the space.

In the master bedroom, the designers took advantage of the view – the lush greenery of Poets Villa, where the house is located – and designed the space with an earthy colour palette. Here, a divider was erected for the walk-in wardrobe, where a chaise longue and a wall-mounted television set make it the perfect place to lounge. The harmonious look of the overall design is complemented by the attention to detail and quality finish, resulting in a dream home that’s everything the homeowners wanted.
