It’s Party time!

Following the success of the inaugural #TBLblockparty last year, the event returns this year, bigger and better!

Arete Culture offers everything from furniture and furnishings to unique home decor accessories. Whether you’re designing rustic-inspired or nautical-themed interiors, you’re sure to find something stylish.

Lights, furniture, action! That’s what you can expect at #TBLblockparty, taking place at Tan Boon Liat Building on Nov 24 and 25. This event, of which Home & Decor is the official design media partner, showcases design and furniture shops coming together to celebrate form, function and festivities with mini markets, pop-ups, design talks, workshops and exclusive in-store deals at over 25 showrooms, across 15 storeys.

Truly a one-stop shop for furniture and furnishing needs, and more, Tan Boon Liat Building is home to a variety of interior design-related stores that offer a myriad options, regardless of the interior style you’re seeking for your home.

Furnish a rustic-inspired space with pieces in natural materials like wood and wicker; then complement the look with a touch of luxury with an ornate mirror from Arete Culture. From dining sets, canvas art pieces to outdoor furniture, you’ll find something unique to create character-filled spaces in your home interiors.

If you prefer the Chinoiserie look, Emperor’s Attic is a treasure trove of drawers, chests and even stools designed with Chinese influenced details like handpainted floral motifs and traditional brass door handles.

Have specific dimensions you need to abide by for your furniture items? Think about customising wood furniture affordably at Grey and Sanders! It offers a wide range of solid wood slabs, which can be cut to the exact size you need. Take your pick and choose your preferred table or bench legs, too. This way, your home will definitely look one-of-a-kind!

Of course, the secret to a cushy, comfy home is soft furnishings, like carpets and rugs. Hassan’s Carpets has got you covered in that respect, as you’ll be treated to an in depth explanation on various weaving methods, and there’s a wide range of designs to choose from at the store. Pick a vibrant hue to add a pop of colour to your home!

Light your space well to achieve a warm, cosy ambience – and why not do so with an impressive sculptural lighting design taking centre stage in the home. Pop by Gamut, where you’ll find designer lights that not only illuminate spaces, but also serve as art pieces to admire!

There will even be a building-wide lucky draw. Visitors stand to win cash vouchers, so mark your calendars and enjoy a holistic shopping experience at #TBLblockparty!
