Even with minimal renovation works, this three-bedroom resale condo has been transformed completely through the power of well-curated decorative details. And the one behind the magic is designer Rashi Tulshyan and her team from Home Philosophy. She says: “The homeowners are a married couple and are British expatriates. For their home in Singapore, they wanted us to have a nature-inspired take on the mid-century modern theme.”

To bring their design vision to life, Rashi worked in tropical touches through decorative details such as soft furnishings and verdant greenery. These distinctive accents make up a relaxing space, perfect for the homeowners to retreat to. The living area which opens up into the balcony strengthens the feel-good atmosphere. Rashi capitalised on the breezy and light-filled setting by giving the walls a fresh coat of white paint. Besides creating a spacious visage, the all-white setup including the existing glossy-tiled flooring makes the perfect canvas for pops of nature-inspired accent colours. Rashi’s expert eye in combining these refined colours with sumptuous textures has presented an inviting yet layered aesthetic for this communal zone.
