An old terrace house gets a breezy Scandinavian-style makeover for its homeowners and their children.
It bears all the hallmarks of a Scandinavian-inspired home. The white walls, modern furniture, clean lines and, of course, the essential dose of warm brown accents for some rustic cosiness. But what also makes this refurbished three-storey terrace house a standout is how it has been so effortlessly and stylishly pulled together against a predominantly white backdrop by interior stylist Priscilla Tan of Styled by.pt.
From the modish neutral-toned furniture to the way it is laid out, the different sections of the home showcase how simplicity meets beauty. Subtle wood tones for the furniture and flooring at the family’s resort-chic front porch extend into the living room. The 6m-high ceiling in the living room lends the space a breezy feel, upping the hygge factor of the home.
