Good As New
Worn-out surfaces can be an eyesore, which is why Veromobi has come up with the Alba range of acrylic panels that can resist stains, yellowing and more, keeping your place looking brand new. The acrylic composite panels can be used in various ways – such as applications from bathroom screens to sliding door infills. The bendy Lite version can even be used to make lampshades. The durable material is easy to install with the option to customise its glossiness – whether matte or mirror-finish, it’ll meet all your aesthetic needs!
VEROMOBI ALBA IS AVAILABLE AT THE EWINS HOME, #01-100 MIDVIEW CITY, 24 SIN MING LANE, TEL: 6659-0080.
The Midas Touch
Gold is making a classy comeback in room decor, and you can get in on the trend with this limited-edition micro version of the iconic Tolomeo lamp from Artemide. The luxe high-gloss gold finish on this lamp adds a dose of swanky style and debonair charm to contrast with the lamp’s utilitarian look. Perfect for the dapper man’s study or lounge area, this classy addition is ideal as a bedside lamp in a tastefully curated boudoir, too.
THE ARTEMIDE TOLOMEO MICRO GOLD LAMP, $546, CAN BE FOUND AT MILLION LIGHTING, 203 KALLANG BAHRU, TEL: 6743-2033, WWW.MILLIONLIGHTING.COM.
A Clean Sweep
For Perfectionists
Isn’t it frustrating when you can never seem to find the right tissue box to go with your Instagram-worthy living room decor? Vicky Tay, founder of The Better Company, was inspired by her own experiences to source for producers who could create disposable tissue boxes in a range of solid colours, as well as marble- inspired designs. Minimalists will dig the understated, simplified styles available.
THE BETTER COMPANY TISSUE BOXES ARE EXCLUSIVELY AVAILABLE AT WWW.THEBETTER.COMPANY.
