The Brief

Living away from home can be freeing and exciting, but it can also unearth something less pleasant—homesickness. As the pandemic has made it particularly difficult to connect with loved ones across borders, many have had to grapple with this feeling, finding creative ways to build a home away from home.

It is then no surprise that this Vietnamese couple wanted to infuse their HDB flat with a touch of their home country. With the help of interior designer Vina Christine from Fifth Avenue Interior, they were able to materialise their aesthetic vision into a gorgeous abode that tells a story, incorporating Vietnamese furniture and exuding mid-century modern charm with a sense of nostalgia.

Rattan and green hues tie the look together across the various areas of the house—a boho-chic, Jungalow-inspired combination that balances out the sleek luxury of mid-century modern design. While the space is bold and eye-catching, it retains an understated, classic charm.
