Tailored Transformation
The Cinnamon Room’s VISHA NELSON talks us through her recent Sentosa Cove home transformation.
Clients: American couple Erika Franco and Luis Nava, and their five-year-old son.
Brief: Arriving in their landed, rented home in Sentosa Cove just before Christmas 2020, Erika contacted Visha to help them bring their home aesthetic alive with an eclectic range of home décor. The aim was to infuse a cosy, warm vibe and create a family home.
Erika already had the key functional pieces of furniture, such as sofa, dining table and beds, but she was keen for softer touches and accents.
Results: This was a collaborative effort, and the family now loves their home and its eclectic vibe. They have a real appreciation of the different aesthetics on display, which are reflective of their own personality and style.
Visha’s view:
The open-plan living and dining area needed grounding by defining each space. Rugs were key to creating a focal point, while adding warmth and texture. We helped Erika with artwork, to bring vibrance to the space, and added finishing touches such as candle-holders and striking accents around the room. We chose a black and white rug that tied in with her distinctive emerald green sideboard.
The master bedroom has breathtaking wall-to-ceiling views. Our metallic hide rug, complementing Erika’s red and gold antique screen, is the focal point of the room. Softer elements such as cushions and candle-holders were added to tie the large space together. The natural light coming in hits the metallic rug and makes the whole room shimmer.
Functional elements such as side tables were introduced, too; these are stylishly unique, and they’re also nested, which has the added bonus of being space-saving. We also worked closely with Erika on our home visits to ensure each area had a customised rug to the correct proportions.
The Cinnamon Room is at 43 Jalan Merah Saga, #02-74, Holland Village.
