Replete with warm hues and textural touches, this revitalised apartment is an airy sanctuary that fosters feelings of serenity
Giving your abode a fresh new look not only elevates the aesthetics of your environment but also imparts deeper benefits such as lifting your mood and even increasing your creativity. The considered application of elements such as natural light, soothing hues and the right furnishings can boost one’s mental and physical well-being, resulting in happier homeowners buoyed by feelings of positivity.
The occupants of this 3,000 sq ft apartment at The Marq on Paterson Hill in Singapore’s prestigious District 9 are a couple with three children; they had sought to reinvigorate their home with a new design, functional touches, and practical changes. “The apartment was in its original condition since the development was launched, and was tired and worn,” explains Adrian Ong, founder and principal of Anthracyte Studio, the interior design firm tasked with the project.

Both the designer and the homeowners agreed on an understated yet elegant scheme and overall lighter palette to imbue the four-bedroom home with renewed vigour, augmented by additions that lend warmth and tactility. These take the form of wallcoverings, metal trims, subtly patterned soft furnishings, crown-cut timber veneer with a satin finish, stone varieties such as travertine, and veined marble on furniture and feature elements, which also add a modern classical bent to the abode’s various spaces.
Artwork is placed throughout the apartment, lending energising pops of colour and visual interest. Luminaires from Delta Light and Lutron integrated lighting controls set the degree of illumination and the appropriate ambience.
