Charming Chinoiserie for Prestige Global Designs

February 24, 2017 olha romaniuk

Within the public and private areas of a home, Chinoiserie décor elements can make spaces come alive with opulent colours and patterns. In a dining area, a majestic feature wall framed by slim slivers of light brings focus to the space and serves as an elegant art piece that complements the stately dinner table and chairs. Likewise, Chinoiserie-inspired patterns add a touch of sophistication to the cabinetry and furniture pieces and provide a statement-making backdrop to a small seating area.

In a bedroom, the colour selection for Chinoiserie-inspired pieces can soothe the eye with a softer palette and delicate detail work. The use of gilded gold for a frame above a bed’s headboard and in slimmer profiles of the framed mirrors instantly adds a luxuriously composed feel to the space.

Ornamental treatments that are signature to the Chinoiserie style do not have to be confined to wallpaper and panel treatments. Creative implementation and mixture of bold and delicate patterns within the living room space pull the furniture arrangement together into one cohesive area. Elsewhere, ceiling and wall framing techniques that recall aspects of traditional Chinese architecture add visual depth and highlight the difference in ceiling heights in a lofty Singapore residence.

Subtlety comes a long way when designing a home in a contemporary Chinoiserie style. Discreet interior decor touches can add interest to a space without making it look cluttered or busy for a clean and composed look. The delicate trellis-like feature with strong, rhythmic pattern cutouts above the bed’s headboard provides a perfect alternative for an artwork to enhance an otherwise unadorned wall. Selected upholstery, soft cushions and bedding bring further harmony to the room, tying it together cohesively with the strategic use of gold and black accent colours.

Updating the Classics for Prestige Global

December 17, 2016 olha romaniuk

A well-executed contemporary classical design approach in residential applications goes beyond combining fine architectural details and sophisticated furnishings with clean-lined geometries and bold shapes and assesses how well these elements come together and how they can complement each other within a space. The result is elegant and enduring; a design that is neither trendy nor outdated in its approach.

With the notion that tradition and modernity can coexist, three homes’ interiors exemplify the refined appeal that a contemporary classical style can bring to a dwelling. Defined by a combination of distinctly classical interior proportions with timeless geometric shapes and warm brown and neutral colour palettes, one unit in a cluster house development and two condominium apartments offer inspired examples of spaces that transcend the typecasts of any specific time periods.

An impactful yet inviting living room delivers a balance in creating a striking first impression with its formal seating arrangement and distinctly classical proportions and in setting up a welcoming living space with the use of warm brown tones and accent lighting. Neutral lines and bold prints on the carpet and fixtures enliven the space, while the unique organic cluster of pendant lamps anchors the overall composition together.

In the dining room of this unit, the colour palette is deliberately muted, immediately enhancing the presence of the stately, classical proportions of the wall panelling that, in turn, frame the display of photographic works on each wall. The classical dining table and chairs are the central masterpieces of the room, setting up a reciprocal dialog with the decisively contemporary lamp that hangs in place of a typical chandelier.

Beadings and treatment of the walls in the bedroom continue the classical language introduced in the dining room. Strong linear geometry asserts itself in the bedhead behind the plush bed cushions but is softened by the unobtrusive brown and neutral colours used throughout the room. A statement piece – a leather wingback chair in deep blue – draws the gaze to itself and neutralises the earthy shades that dominate the rest of the bedroom.

A corridor at this condominium unit proves that it, too, can be more than a simple transitional space. As with the rest of the spaces within the unit, where the design capitalises on simple, clean lines to create some pleasing spatial arrangements, the corridor takes on a captivating identity of its own, where strong geometry and symmetry govern and guide through the space. Contemporary artworks and picture lamps, along with the directional cove lighting above, remind of a formal art gallery display, while the brown and beige tones remain pleasant to the eye in their contrasting colour pairings.

Bringing Comfort to Luxury for Prestige Global Designs Blog

October 9, 2016 olha romaniuk

Here, comfort and luxury go hand in hand, setting up an environment that is, at once, cosy and statement-making. Throughout the interior spaces, fine-grained wood surfaces and rich earthy finishes envelop with their comfort, while stately, marble-cladded floors and walls educe opulence and luxury. Gold accents enliven the spaces with delicate glimmer. Soft cove lighting brings subtle highlights throughout, adding to the overall warmness and tranquillity.

Balance and meticulous attention to details are found everywhere, in the careful proportions of surface treatments, in the reciprocity between the grandeur of marble and wood finishes and the soothing lushness of textiles, drapery and bedspreads. Used throughout the residence, the presence of dark surface finishes is further balanced with the selection of light blue furniture from Poltrona Frau in the living and dining areas.

The master bedroom is a welcoming retreat and exudes calmness and luxury. The marble-cladded bedhead is a splendid centrepiece anchoring the space together with its prominent black and gold textural interlacements. Custom-made oval night stands bring in a reprieve from angular surfaces, while the handpicked Louis Poulsen pendant lamp enjoys its time in the spotlight against a dark wood panel backdrop.

In the daughter’s room, play and study areas coexist next to each other, with a generously sized bunk bed and study table inset into a raised platform that is spacious enough to be used for playtime activities. Storage and display cabinets accommodate plenty of toys and books, while maintaining a clean and uncluttered feel.
