Modern Classic With a Twist

The modern classic theme is very unique and perfect for making a huge impact on Singaporean homes. If you want to emulate it in your homes, here are 5 ways you can do so:

1. Cheers to the classic bed

The best example of this technique is featured in this image. The classic tufted headboard of the bed is just the thing the ambiance requires to complement the sleek modern materials, lighting, and design elements that are spread around the room.

2. Up and down

For example, if the ceiling is modern, some of the major elements on the floor can be classical. Just take a look at this gorgeous living room – its false ceiling is the epitome of modern elegance while the furniture on the ground speaks the language of the classical style.

3. Counteracting the design elements

However, balance and harmonizing are key here. You can’t let one style get the best of the other. You can even play with the color schemes with this technique. The pink and white formation of this bedroom is a great example of how to carry it out!

4. Material contrast

Pairing sleek surfaces with slightly distressed classical style ones makes a lot of difference. You can get inspired by the matt grey laminate and cloudy grey floor featured in this image.

5. When all else fails – marble
