Inspired by their travels to Europe, the owners of this 3,600 sq ft (334 sqm) 3-storey terrace house in Seletar were drawn to the elegant curves of Baroque-style furniture and their romantic retail stores.
They turned to interior designer Alvin Ling of Distinctidentity to adapt the look to their modern lifestyles so that their home would not simply be an impractical decorative showcase.
Baroque Interior Design
They kept the beadings on the living room walls simple rather than plaster them with ornate floral patterns to keep the Baroque theme from looking too outlandish.

The clean lines of the dining chairs and pendant lamp temper the classical European details of the home.

Dramatic chandeliers anchor the airy space to keep the interiors from looking too washed-out.

Master Bedroom
The master bedroom is where the romantic inclinations of the wife are tempered with the husband’s preferences, too.
The wife steered clear from frilly florals and pastels, but you can still make out the feminine influence in the soft curves of the king-sized Chesterfield-style bed frame.
The sleek home theatre sound system serves as a subtle reminder that the man of the house sleeps here, too.

Bedroom
The customised TV console demarcates the bedroom from its wardrobe area.
