Home Town Decor Update & Weekly Inspiration

My partner and I just returned from a very hectic sourcing trip, which saw us up and about from 7am to 5pm over 2 days, trawling through countless stores to bring the most gorgeous home decor accessories to you. We're currently hard at work unpacking boxes of items and checking through each and every one of them. 

We were heartbroken to find that some items were broken or damaged during transit even though they were swathed in newspaper and bubble wrap, but we will try to fix them for use in our own homes, since we love them too much to throw them away.
 
We only bought items which we really loved, and hope that you will feel inspired to decorate, when you see the items on our website (under construction).

In the meantime, here are some photos which have inspired me during the past week! Enjoy!

What a gorgeous bedroom. I love everything about it, from the grey curtains to the simple but chic lamp, to the classic bedside console, the bed frame, the patterned pillows and of course, the teal ottoman. Sleek and Chic! (from here)

What an ingenious way to mix patterns, stripes, chevrons and checks! (Does anyone know the name of the pattern on the cushion on the bed?) The trick is to incorporate similar colours, in this case, white, grey and black, to introduce a common element to pull the look together. 

Notice the low hanging picture frame? What a smart idea to free up space on your bedside console, and yet have your favourite picture right next to your bed. (from here)

What an eye-catching bed frame! It can be yours for US$5000 from here. Love the calming neutrals too.

What a beautiful setting for a relatively small bedroom. I love that the bedside consoles are mis-matched, providing 2 different kinds of storage solutions. The mis-matched consoles save this bedroom from being just too symmetrical. (from here)

I absolutely love this lucite storage trunk with chrome handles by Serge de Troyer. It's a modern day treasure chest, practical yet stunning at the same time. The lucite also reflects light to some extent, brightening up the room and making it seem more spacious. (Got US$3000 to spare? Get one from here)

My mother has always advised against getting wallpaper in Singapore, since the humidity destroys the wallpaper rather quickly, causing edges to curl. However, it seems that newer materials are being used in recent times, and today's wallpaper offers a dazzling array of styles and patterns for you to choose from. These include embossed wallpapers and those with tactile accents. 

This pretty blue seascape wallpaper caught my eye - not too much, yet it adds a very subtle and interesting element to the room. (from here)

Modern chic living room. Lovely oversized zebra ottoman functioning as the living room table and lots of small decor touches to complete this clean and sleek look. Love! (from here)
