The true measure of a good designer lies not just in his ability to create feature-worthy projects, but also to produce works that are truly functional, livable and enhance one’s standard of living.
Door Privacy Screen
Established interior design firm KNQ Associates took the opportunity to transform this flat in Simei into a cosy home for its owners and children.
“A minimal yet decorative screen at the entrance adds a layer of richness to the simplicity and demarcates the different zones,” says the interior design firm.

Modern Day Living
“In designing this private apartment for a small family, we ask ourselves what truly defines modern day living,” says the design team.

Easy to Maintain Home
“We also wanted to create a ‘livable’ living space for the occupants – a timeless and unforgettable look is what we seek – which would also be light on maintenance.”

Small Home Design
“The floor area of the apartment is not big, hence one of the most important considerations is to make the occupants feel comfortable during the time that they spend inside.”

Visually Interesting Decor
“Materials are purposely kept minimal yet still visually interesting and clean-cut lines define the interior décor of all rooms.”

Fabric Bed Headboard
“In the bedrooms, special emphasis is placed on the choice of fabrics to dress up the headboards, making sure they look luscious but never over-the-top.”

Playful Colours
“To us, an elegant living space should be approachable and uncomplicated. It has to have class but it also should be playful in a way, as seen in the selection of ‘casual’ colours chosen by the owners themselves for each room. A home is like a personal mirror, so reflect yourself in it.”
