Besides fashion and homeware goods, these multi-label boutiques offer a wealth of decor inspiration, too

It’s often said that inspiration can be found anywhere and everywhere, and the same applies to home design too. It’s not just design showrooms that provide fodder for interior inspiration, beautifully-designed retail boutiques and showrooms can also offer ample ideas and concepts.  

With the increased focus for brick-and-mortar shops to create immersive in-store experiences, local retail destinations are blending fashion and lifestyle with design and even food to create multi-concept venues. These homegrown brands are also expanding beyond their usual offerings to introduce tableware, decorative items and wellness products for the home; many of these brands have also joined forces to dream up creative collaborations. 

Whether it’s a minimalist space with a soothing colour palette or a vibrant shop with quirky graphics, these boutiques will offer plenty of inspiration as well as products for you to dress your abode.

Homegrown design label Beyond the Vines, which rebranded from a womenswear label into a multidisciplinary studio last year, was established with the belief of making good design accessible to all. Their 2,210 sqft flagship boutique at Ngee Ann City is a clear reflection of that.

Past the mint-green doors is an expressive world of colour. A cobalt-blue polycarbonate structure, nicknamed the ‘Blooth’, makes a striking statement in the centre of the store and doubles as a retail counter. The lofty showroom also features industrial-chic boltless racks as well as a mirror-lined ‘Bag Bar’ at the front of the store, which proudly carries the brand’s cult-favourite Dumpling Bags in an extensive array of colours.

The front of the store is also the show stage for the brand’s latest partnership with local coffee tech brand Morning. The At Your (Self) Service collection sees both local brands working in tandem to introduce new colourways to the state-of-the-art coffee machines, which retains its acclaimed innovative features such as temperature control settings and the ability to control the pressure profile. The in-store display is also perfect for having a physical feel of the coffee machines, which currently retails online only.

The collection also extends beyond coffee machines to allow you to fully play the role of a home barista. Other products that will amp up the style factor in your kitchen include mugs in a vibrant assortment of colours, glass cups, tea towels, fabric coasters; while fashion items such as shirts, caps and tote bags will ensure that you brew and drink your coffee in style.
