Mixing and Matching Living Room Furniture
Friday, November 20, 2020
Entice guests into the embrace of your living room with contrasting colour, textures, and styles.
The urge to combine and hybridise everything could be explained by our innate urge to seek out novel stimuli and construct unique experiences — and the same could be said of how interior styles tend to be expressed in this era. While adhering to the tenants of a particular school of aesthetics may appeal to individuals aiming for authenticity, the proponents of uniqueness instead seek to craft spaces without equal. In this decorative guide, we take a look at various ways of tastefully combining normally disparate colours, textures, and styles to create a unique living space that you can truly call your own.
Colour Play
Interior design by: S/Lab 10
An overt difference in luminosity and colour immediately captures attention. If you want to direct attention towards a piece of furniture that you are particularly fond of, the eye of an observer can be directed with a selection of upholstery in contrasting hues for prominence. Interior designers S/Lab 10 demonstrate the visually compelling effects of colour contrast by introducing a lone turquoise armchair against the pale wood background of the pictured living room, combining two opposing slices of the colour wheel to simultaneously comfort and attract the eye.
Textured Touch
Interior design by: SQFT Space Design Management
While colour contrast is overt and clearly discernible from a distance, the application of contrasting textures is a subtler way of directing attention that invokes imaginings of tactile sensations and invites an exploratory touch. A completely uniform furniture arrangement assumes all people are the same, but some are drawn to plush and overstuffed seats as others are attracted by solid and sleek surfaces.
SQFT Space Design provides a range of seating options — in addition to an assortment of smooth and fuzzy surfaces — distributed around a monochromatic living room to attract and occupy different personalities at once.

Eclectic Mix

If you have grown comfortable with mixing and matching colours and textures, the next challenge to take on would be the blending of styles. Beyond the juxtaposition of colour and texture, the blending of contrasting decorative styles allows room for creative impulses and typically results in a unique arrangement — such as that presented in the pictured seating lounge. The interior designers, Living Space Creative Design, demonstrate an intriguingly eclectic décor that sits astride the past and the future, while combining contrasting colours, textures, and decorative features from the Eastern and Western hemispheres.

Tips: Everyone is unique and manifesting your own preferences in your selection of furniture and finishes would result in a truly unique living room arrangement.

Top 30 Bedroom Interior Design Ideas in Malaysia
Friday, November 20, 2020
Inspiration is fleeting, which is why we packed a hefty dose of imagery featuring 30 delectable bedrooms to inspire. For this particular dose of inspiration, we took a look at some of the most memorable sleeping quarters we have encountered in order to distill the characteristics that make for visually striking and soul-warming bedrooms.
This bedroom is coloured in the palette of our time and features a practical combination of entertainment centre and work station. Interior design by: Turn Design
A black bedstead and a monolithic formation of darkly stained wood make this bedroom distinctly masculine. Interior design by: Sky Creation
Space for a walk-in wardrobe is carved out by way of glass curtain walls, enveloping the bedstead in a translucent scheathe of modern design. Interior design by: JCS Design Project
The bedroom is made an alluring distraction from the home office with a thickly tufted carpet and an abundance of plush fabrics decorating the walls. Interior design by: Surface R
With this bed platform boldly thrust against the sliding balcony doors, the dark wood and reflective metal accents are unified by a generous supply of sunlight. Interior design by: Nu Infinity
A splash of bold colour and an array of differing textures provide this neutral coloured bedroom with multiple points of attention. Interior design by: IA Interior Design
A palette largely consisting of wood tones is complemented in classical fashion with accents in white and gold. Interior design by: ST Concepts
An array of stark, modern lines is simultaneously softened by the reliance on neutral shades and defined with a tentative homage to monochrome. Interior design by: Nu Infinity
Another example of bold shades used to divert attention is demonstrated in this neutral coloured bedroom. Interior design by: Design Integra
The sharp lines of modern convention serve as a suitably subtle background for an array of classical details such as the faint Chevron lines mimicking the veins of autumn leaves on the feature wall. Interior design by: SQFT Space Design Management
A generous panel of stone and a long stretch of capitonné upholstery elevate this neutral coloured space to luxurious heights. Interior design by: Homlux Interior Furnishing
A frame of modern lines and a largely monochromatic palette sets the stage for attention to fall on the intriguing bedstead. Interior design by: FIX Design Solutions
This enigmatic bedroom demonstrates a rare blend of tropical materials, modern lines, and shimmering accents. Interior design by: Latitude Design
This compact bedroom is rendered spacious with a reliance on the neutral palette and sharp lines of modern design. Interior design by: Mode Interior Style
The ambience of a log cabin is injected into this modern bedroom with an envelope of wood grains. Interior design by: Mode Interior Style
With only a limited set of shades and textures, the bed platform and feature wall are presented as the primary points of focus in this space. Interior design by: Architrio
A variation of the previous bedroom is constructed with a smoother variety of textures for differentiation and a similar set of neutral shades for unification. Interior design by: Architrio
The allure of simplicity is demonstrated with this bedroom's array of uncomplicated lines and subtle textures. Interior design by: Surface R
An homage to chaos is formed with the combined effects of the carpet's waves, the haphazard dots on the bedspread, and a colourised bird's-eye view of an iconic New York city street. Interior design by: GDY Design & Construction
The colour turquoise immediately evokes imagery of cloudless skies in the countryside, and when paired with glistening metal accents, the result is a uniquely luxurious yet provincial décor. Interior design by: Metrics Global
The use of turquoise in this bedroom's accents serves to soften the cold and hard lines of marbled stone panels in the background. Interior design by: GDY Design & Construction
When blended with a generous sprinkling of white accents and wood flooring, the use of turquoise speaks of spacious natural expanses. Interior design by: Homlux Interior Furnishing
Geometric motifs serve to embellish neutral spaces without detracting from the deliberate simplicity of the décor. Interior design by: PDI Design
If the simplicity is of lower priority than impressive decoration, a stretch of Damask wall-covering will serve to draw attentions – especially within a frame of simplistic and modern lines. Interior design by: Q1 Interior Concept
Straight lines make an ideal backdrop for classical accents but the inverse appears to be just as true – as demonstrated with the wooden parquet flooring laid in a repeating herringbone pattern that serves as a background for this bedroom's array of modern lines. Interior design by: IA Interior Design
As demonstrated in this bedroom, even a monochromatic décor can be made luxurious with differing textures, classical accompaniments, and linear motifs. Interior design by: Casa Indah Design
The all-white background of this bedroom lies at the extreme end of simplicity, but the introduction of silky grey fabrics and metallic accents paradoxically draws the space into the realm of the luxurious. Interior design by: Regal Violet
Cavernous Spaces: Living Rooms With Double Height Ceilings
Friday, November 20, 2020
Few parts of the conventional modern home feature high ceilings in the default plans, but the existence of a double-height ceiling in your living room is a rare opportunity to decorate boldly along the vertical axis with extra-long curtains and feature walls. If you're fortunate to have in your possession a canvas as generous as a living room with an extra high ceiling, here are some examples of what can be achieved in these spaces.
Immaculate Simplicity
Interior design by: Regal Violet
A dependance on the lighter side of the neutral palette expands the perceived space, as demonstrated by Regal Violet in this seating area. Utilising only grey fabrics to complement a background of white furnishings and finishes, the designers of the pictured seating lounge have managed to retain the voluminous quality of this space – with the grey elements drawing attention to the generous length of windows and to the centre of the seating arrangement.
Interior design by: Regal Violet
The prevalence of white and grey prepares the naïve eye for the glorious bursts of yellow light that become apparent from the centre of the lounge.
Monochromatic Modernity
Rendered with glossy black curves across the white finishes, this seating lounge is designed by Deseo Creativo to speak of the modern notion of elegance in simplicity. The monochromatic background of this home sets the eye up for the scant streaks of blue, while the simplistic palette creates a striking contrast against the ornate chandelier and the seamless expanse of marbled stone on the floor.
Interior design by: Deseo Creativo
Tropical Luxury
Interior design by: DMZ Consultancy
The designers of the pictured seating lounge, DMZ Consultancy, craft a space suited for the tropics by relying on the lighter side of the neutral palette and an assortment of natural materials. The neutral palette saturates this living room in seamless stretches of stone on the floor and walls while wood decks the ceiling. Coupled with the exquisite view and splashes of greenery on the interior, the result is simultaneously luxurious and uplifting.
Interior design by: DMZ Consultancy
Sunny Vibes
Interior design by: Homlux Interior Furnishing
In spaces gifted with generous windows such as this seating lounge with an extra-height ceiling, the choice of interior colour could be heavily swayed by the quality of view. Given that the wooden patio on the outside lies in full sunlight during the day, the practical use of louvres on the windows removes the need for extra-long curtains and enables the ingress of sunlight to complement the yellowish décor of interior.

If you've settled on your approach to decorating the living room, here are some of our thoughts on lighting up the whole ensemble.
Enigmatic Bedrooms Decorated With Purple
Friday, November 20, 2020
From the sea snail shells found along the ancient Phoenician coastlines of Tyre to the togas of Roman senators, and on to as recent a time as Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation, the colour purple has been associated with mystery, power, royalty – and the height of bravery in the case of the Purple Heart. Despite the connotations, spaces painted in purple are relatively rare to come by – especially in this age of neutral-coloured interiors and compact spaces. But the results are undeniably awe-inspiring whether purple is applied as an accent or as a base colour. To illustrate the sensuous effects of purple – and perhaps to inspire you to try something different in the bedroom – we bring your attention to a selection of bedrooms brought to deeply soothing and enigmatic levels with the mere addition of violet-coloured light or materials.
Beguiling Accent
Interior design by: Turn Design
Perhaps the very first and easiest thing to try when experimenting with purple, or any other bold shade, is to inject the colour with the aid of a lighting fixture. Utilising ultraviolet bulbs intended for water purification systems would not be recommended for health reasons – ultraviolet light of the UVB variety is a germ killer and equivalent to sunlight in terms of the damage it can cause – but "black-lights", UVA bulbs, or even regular bulbs tinted purple will provide a harmless wash of violet-coloured light. This equivalent of dipping one's toe into unfamiliar waters enables slight adjustments – leading to possible results such as the pictured bedroom decorated by Turn Design. The purple glow here serves as a tentative accent for the neutral-coloured space, delivered to the sunlit side of the bed via a pair of bedside lamps.
Absolute Saturation
Interior design by: Space In Design
If the alluring quality of purple illumination has won you over, you may find yourself surprised by the delightful effects of a predominantly white room fully saturated in violet light. As demonstrated by Space In Design with the pictured bedroom, the architectural finishes of the walls and ceiling have been deliberately left featureless and white in order to extend the reach of purple light. The result is that all the plain white surfaces are rendered intriguing with a fluorescent sheen, while slivers of white and yellow illumination are used to segment the background and provide the space with a measure of visual depth.
Prominent Display
Interior design by: Jashen Interior
If you are looking for more control over the introduction of bold shades like purple in the bedroom, consider utilising fabrics dyed in your prefered shade of violet instead of attempting to fine-tune the highly variable effects of lighting. As demonstrated by Jashen Interior in the pictured bedroom, the introduction of purple is done through carpeting and drapery in light and dark shades, securing the colour's place in the white space regardless of the quality of light. The net effect of this combination is one of mutual support – the white background brings attention to the purple accents while the various shades of violet lend the crisp white space a contour of uplifting opulence.
Background Flavour
Interior design by: Surface R
With some comfort in its balanced use, one could take the saturation of purple to the maximum by applying various shades of violet in architectural finishes. The result of painting both the walls and the decorative headboard in the same shade of purple is a cohesive background that is instantly soothing to the eye, as in the pictured bedroom designed by Surface R, while the contrasting of dark wood flooring and a sprinkling of neutral coloured planes against the purple background creates a space that simultaneously speaks of fun-loving vibes and regal poise.

Perfect Mattress: 3 Key Tips to Buy The Ideal Mattress
Friday, November 20, 2020
All of us desire a good night's sleep. Here's where choosing the right mattress can help ensure a serene slumber all night long. When you're getting a new bed, it's crucial to invest in a high quality mattress. As we spend a third of lives sleeping, a suitable mattress will help you sleep better and thus improve your physical, mental and emotional well-being. Here are some tips to arm yourself with when you go shopping for a new mattress. 1 Test for comfort and support Make sure that the surface is both comfortable and supportive of your spine and posture. This means your spine should be in its natural curvature while you lie down flat on the bed. Have someone put his or her hand behind the small of your back. If the person's hand can move easily in the back without any gaps, the mattress is suitable for your posture. If there is a gap in between, the mattress is too hard and not supporting your back properly. If the person cannot get his or hand under your back, the mattress is too soft which causes your back to round up. Also lie on your side and stomach and examine if it's comfortable for you. Always take your time when shopping for a new mattress.
2 Find a mattress that suits your sleep style
How do you sleep? Some of us like sleeping on the back, some can only fall asleep when they are turned to one side and there are others who sleep soundly on their stomach. Your sleeping style is an essential factor when choosing the right kind of mattress.
For side sleepers: Get a soft or plush sleeping surface. With extra cushioning, you can prevent pressure-induced discomfort in your shoulders and hips. Plush mattresses offer extra comfort and plush support without the need for additional pillowtop padding.
For back sleepers: Opt for firm or extra firm mattresses as these help to support your back. Firm mattresses generally have a flatter top with no additional padding. Some of them also come with a firm edge support.
For stomach sleepers: Go for a slightly firmer surface so that your spine is properly aligned.
For those who with a combination of sleep styles: You may want to select something that is neither too firm nor too soft so it gives you the flexibility to support your different positions.
3 Consider your sleeping partner
Movements and motion transfers are something to consider if you share your bed with another person. You definitely don't want a mattress that bounces and shakes each time your partner roll to the side or gets up from the bed. Memory foam mattress can help to isolate movements to one side of the bed. You can also go for a hybrid of springs and foam as they usually come with transitional foam that alleviates motion.

Styling Your Outdoor Spaces With Colourful Accessories
Friday, November 20, 2020
Elevate your outdoor space from a mere extension of the living room to a spot of magical potential with colourful add-ons.
Even when subjected to unpredictable weather conditions and wilful sprawls of greenery, the outdoors is just as viable a canvas for creative expression as the interior – and a home would be profoundly incomplete without an inviting yard or patio to extend living areas. If you have the outdoor space to spare, you may be thinking of providing an alternative to lounging indoors by setting aside a patch of grass or floor and adding furniture to it. Appointing your lawn with furnishings in white may be the strongest initial compulsion, but if you want to imbue your outdoor hangout with some semblance of colour, we have some ideas on how to make that happen.
Bright Nights

A standard seating arrangement is a sufficiently practical consideration for providing a place to relax, but a certain measure of magic is necessary to make an outdoor space captivating. To dress a space as though it was transported from the realm of fantasy, consider pairing a boldly coloured rug with fairy lights strung over tree branches to mimic the stars of the night sky.
Image Credit: Lights4Fun
Through both the mystical quality of floating illumination and the striking contrast of bold colours against a natural backdrop, the result is that even the most temporary of lounge spaces are elevated to enigmatic heights.
Bold Fun

Other than surrealist landscapes born of imagination, few visual compositions are as striking as a product of human hands throwing boldly saturated colours against the verdant green of Mother Nature’s work. The contrast is perhaps as much thematic as it is about colour or shade – the same effect can be achieved with everything from a decorative sculpture to a practical arrangement of furniture.
Image Credit: Carpetright
With a background of green grass, the stage is set for a stunning contrast to be made with brightly coloured furniture, decorations, or accessories to facilitate entertainment in your outdoor space.
Image Credit: Carpetright
Tip: Put against the background of a lawn, nearly any manufactured object is instantly made worthy of attention – thanks to the subtle difference in natural or artificial colours and the obvious disparity in theme.

Pastel Pretty

There is an undeniably distinct relationship between pastel shades and rural settings, perhaps due to the prevalent sight of sun-bleached colours in provincial landscapes. Despite the fact that most people now live in urban areas, the association between pastel colours and the serenity of the countryside has moved from a feature of some people’s memories to a cultural trope that is recognisable even to those born and raised exclusively in cities. Selecting architectural finishes, furniture, or decorations in pastel shades, reinforces a rural theme in the yard and immediately transports anyone who rests there to a simpler time and place.

Tip: A rural theme consists of more than just pastel shades – consider mimicking the weathering effects of the elements, then embellish the space with greenery and pale fabrics.
Natural Hues

Bright splashes of colour do not necessarily need to come from products injected with dyes or coated in pigments – after all, Mother Nature is the single most prolific artist around. As can be observed in any place where foliage is given free reign, Nature tends to utilise all the visible colours of the light spectrum, and every definable shade in between, in the formation of flower petals.

While entailing a greater degree of care and maintenance than a manufactured piece of furniture or decoration, there are few sources of colour as powerful or authentic as a bed of vibrant flowers.

Impressive Studies: Inspirational Designs for Home Offices
Friday, November 20, 2020
Some of us bring our work home with us — but without a proper desk to work on, all those files and documents will seem out of place on the dining table. For those in need of some inspiration for a home office, we assembled some of the finest studies we have seen here for your perusal.
A study doesn't necessarily require a significant investment in furniture but with some additional space afforded for a sliding partition, a quiet place of work can be guaranteed. Interior design by: Design Base
Doubling up on spaces is a valid approach to take when faced with a shortage of space. As pictured here, a viable solution is to combine the study with a generous walk-in wardrobe for intimacy. Interior design by: Jashen Interior
The epitome of home offices, the kind all aspiring executives pine for, is pictured here. Encased in glass and saturated in white, this box simultaneously provides an overwatch position and solitude. Interior design by: Regal Violet
While being relegated to the corner of this bedroom, the wash of violet light marks out the larger area as belonging to the study. Interior design by: Design Base
Faced with a shortage of space in this bedroom, the study is instead made to project from the centre of the space, with a stand of shelves providing a form of containment for the bed. Interior design by: Design Base
With an entire room to dedicate, this study is decorated with a certain degree of freedom that is uncommon for these normally compact spaces. Interior design by: A Piece of Art
This pictured study occupies a surprisingly small footprint on a staircase landing, turning a potentially unused space into a functioning workspace. Interior design by: Nu Infinity
Just as with regular work, schoolwork tends to overflow into time spent at home, which necessitates a desk to work on. In this shared bedroom, the workspace is squeezed into a sunlit space beneath a bunk. Interior design by: GDY Design & Construction
This pictured study demonstrates the ultimate space-saving design for work surfaces, with a minimalist and monochromatic surface unfolded from a wall of cabinets. Interior design by: Sunpizz Kitchen & Home
There's a certain comfort to be had in sleeping between partitions, and this study serves to provide a work surface as well as sheltering the bed in a safe berth. Interior design by: Sky Creation
Monochrome is used here to disguise the presence of a desk in and among the formation of bookshelves lining the wall. Interior design by: Nice-Style Refurbishment
Another variation of shared spaces could see a secondary lounge turned into part of a study, as pictured here. Interior design by: Jashen Interior
Outside of individual rooms, there often is a hallway or a stairway landing that can provide sufficient space for a fully equipped study. Interior design by: Casa Indah Design
In compact bedrooms, the study surface often projects from the wall to be counted as an extension of bedside surfaces. Interior design by: Design Base
In this child's bedroom, the study berth projects from the wall in monochromatic fashion to serve double duty as a decorative feature. Interior design by: Casa Indah Design

How to Enhance Your Kitchen With a Breakfast Bar
Friday, November 20, 2020
Cooking spaces are an irresistible draw for some people and a kitchen island will make them feel welcome.
As noted by televised interior designer Candice Olson, the modern kitchen is less one person’s domain as it is a space for interactive cooking between family and friends — with the modern conventions of open floor plans and relaxed banquet protocol often leading to an accumulation of dinner guests in the kitchen.
Interior design by: Pins Studio
The sight of an island counter in the kitchen presents an inviting atmosphere that simultaneously helps to keep the operative area clear of pedestrians and encourages the curious guest to slide in for a respite or lean against it in casual repose. Knowing that everyone would be gravitating towards the kitchen during gatherings, we thought it prudent to review some of the ways you could add an island counter.
Practical Element
Instead of having the breakfast bar rise from the centre of the layout like a monolith, you could also merge the island with the rest of the kitchen to minimise its intrusion into a compact space. Pins Studio demonstrates a space-saving configuration in the pictured galley, by extending a counter into the centre of the walkway, effectively turning the two-wall layout into a multi-faceted workspace that simultaneously keeps guests away from exposed heat sources while providing a vantage point from which they can safely observe the proceedings and engage in conversations with the chef.
Stylish Seats
Interior design by: Mode Interior Style
Fashion arbiters are almost uniformly in agreement when it comes to the effect of accessorising—it is often said that the same piece of clothing can be presented in a multitude of different ways when combined with a purposeful selection of decorative accessories.
Interior design by: Mode Interior Style
As demonstrated in the pictured kitchen, Mode Interior Style differentiates the neutral coloured space with the addition of wire-framed lighting fixtures and bar stools. Although lightweight and unobtrusive in their design, their presentation in the foreground of this space draws the eye away from a simplistic background of rectangles coloured in the shades of the neutral palette.
Interior design by: Mode Interior Style
Twists and Turns
Interior design by: Alvinterior Concept
A kitchen melded with an open floor plan presents an opportunity for creative expression in much the same way as a blank canvas invites an artist’s touch, and an island counter turned into a piece of artistic expression on its own often represents the most defining element of a truly unique kitchen.
Interior design by: Alvinterior Concept
Alvinterior Concept sets the pictured cooking space apart from all others by rendering the breakfast bar with novel lines and angles, resulting in a functional sculpture of form and purpose at the edge of the chef ’s domain.
