Having just given birth, being able to get sufficient rest at home is important to Kelly Keak of MTM Labo Singapore. See how the blackout blinds from Ziptrak Interior make a major calming impact in her bedroom
Pregnancy is a magical period in many ways, but getting sufficient shut-eye during the entire nine months is anything but a dream. Factor in the postpartum period, where mothers try to adjust from radical body changes to emotional highs and lows after childbirth all whilst handling a newborn; undoubtedly, motherhood is as rewarding as it is energy-consuming.
That's why creating a restful environment to relax and unwind is a necessity for most new mothers, including Kelly Keak, the managing director of MTM Labo Singapore.
“Being able to unwind at home is so important to me,” says Keak, who was in her last trimester of pregnancy at the time of the shoot. “These days, I’ve been fashioning myself a relaxing sanctuary, where I’m able to truly rest and recharge.”
Keak has created a soothing haven in her bedroom with the blackout blinds system from Ziptrak Interior. Distributed by Durablinds Trading in Singapore, the track-guided design offers easy ventilation without rattling, as well as protection from flying pests.

“My previous blinds were the traditional horizontal wooden blinds that trapped a lot of dust, and I had to constantly ensure that it was clean,” Keak shares. “I love that the Ziptrak blinds do not trap dust. This is really important for me, as an expectant mother who has a newborn that might have dust allergies.”
