Vivid hues and traditional elements pack a punch in this roomy resale flat

- ISABELLE TOW 

Eclectic nostalgia

Fond of curves, terrazzo textures and earthy hues, Elaine and Zul were keen on incorporating these elements into their five-room resale flat when they embarked on a renovation. Aware that a mishmash of so many distinct elements could cause an incoherent look, they engaged a professional to conceive of a tasteful interior design that would seamlessly blend their aesthetic choices as well as accommodate their lifestyle needs.

To tie in the seemingly disparate elements, Ivonne Goh, senior designer of The Alchemists Design, intuitively understood that there needed to be a common visual theme underpinning the design. From the vinyl flooring to the cabinetry, the recurrence of the home’s warm wood hue is the common thread that ties the otherwise distinct spaces together.
