Owner and designer Annie Tan of interior and architecture consulting firm The Interarch Design transformed the tired, cluttered space of her 1,500 sq ft (139 sqm) three-bedroom apartment in Upper Bukit Timah into the easy-breezy home it is now.
In the dining area, a rattan and bamboo bench, and a “weathered” metal pendant lamp from Australia contrast nicely with the lighter wood tones of the dining table and chairs.
Foyer
These metal stools add colour to the white-and-brick foyer.
