Have you always wanted to experiment with colours and patterns in your home? The year 2023 is the perfect time to take the plunge. Paint brands and colour experts worldwide have curated bolder and significantly more vibrant colour palettes for this year, influenced by the population raring to go for an adventure after being cooped up during the pandemic.
Need help figuring out where to start? We quizzed Santhi and Sari Tunas, the twin founders of the lifestyle brand Binary Style, for some tips. Founded in 2015, Binary Style specialises in "conversational prints" - unapologetically colourful prints that combine natural and architectural elements that tell the story of Singapore. Starting out with collections of scarves, Binary Style prints are now available as clothing, upholstery, home decor and jewellery. We've asked the twins to share more.
MANY HOMEOWNERS FEAR ADDING PATTERNS TO THEIR INTERIORS BECAUSE THEY COULD LOOK DATED QUICKLY. ANY THOUGHTS?
The key would be to avoid trends as they come and go. Stick to something that you are genuinely interested in, something that - to quote Marie Kondo - sparks joy. This way, you will always appreciate it. It will always be meaningful, and thus timeless, to you.
