Great things can be accomplished when there’s plenty of trust between the homeowners and their interior designer. DOMENICA TAN speaks to the owners of this classy four-bedroom condominium apartment and finds out more about the journey that led to this look.
In shades of grey, brown and cream, the apartment exudes an understated, posh look and a welcoming ambience. A minimalist calligraphy-inspired artwork was customised to blend with the colour palette, and add an artistic touch to the living room.
Home for this family of three means neutral colours and a space with a warm, cosy ambience. With recommendation from a relative, homeowners Michael and Stella Ling (pictured) sought the help of husband-and-wife duo Yeo See Wee and J. J. Yip of Wee Studio.
“Michael and Stella gave us lots of free rein in the design of their home. They were overseas during the renovation process and trusted us with the design entirely. We were also mindful of their appreciation for designer furniture, which they wanted to include throughout their home,” shares See Wee.
To create a luxurious, hotel-inspired look, wood panellings were used as wall detail and to camouflage storage cabinetry. As part of the $200,000 renovation (including furniture and furnishings), the designers customised pieces, such as the dining table and sofa, to fit the existing layout of the home, as well as to complement fixtures and accessories from designer brands like Knoll and Lightyears.

A SANCTUARY
Taking advantage of the high ceiling in the bedrooms, See Wee and J.J. created a cove in the daughter’s room. With dark wood-look laminate cladding the walls, floors and ceiling, the result is a cosy, restful space.
