Lessons From A Luxurious Terrace Home

Fully dressed to impress, this three-generational home shines with bespoke touches such as tailored-made furnishings and luxurious finishes.

One thing that distinguishes interior designer Adrian Heng apart from the rest is his trademark for designing his own furnishings. For most of the project he undertakes, the jack-of-all-trades from SpaceOne ID takes it upon himself to customise almost everything from big pieces such as couches and daybeds to small furnishings like carpets and cushions.

“I prefer custom-designed furnishings over store-bought pieces because I am not restricted by the dimensions and look of it. Best of all, I can create one-of-a-kind designs.” – Adrian Heng

For this brand new cluster terrace unit, it was no different. The homeowners, a married couple, their adult son and daughter and their respective spouses, liked his portfolio of sophisticated-looking designs. They wanted something close to that; a showflat style with a dash of hotel-worthy luxe.

Since he had the luxury of room, the designer played with dimensions in the living area with a three-metre tall ceiling. Designing everything from scratch,  from the interiors to the furnishings, he created a living area all prim and ready to receive VIPs.

Down a short flight of stairs and into the basement, the family area comes into sight. Used for chilling out and hosting small gatherings, the space is outfitted with a khaki-coloured velvet couch set on a gorgeous area rug. In the next room which is the study, a striking tone of Tiffany blue fills the walls with much decadence.

In the three bedrooms,  the lavish amenities of king-sized beds, en suits bedrooms, walk-in wardrobes and private dressing areas bring the rooms a five-star hotel quality. From the public zones to the private bedrooms, it is evident that Adrian has worked hard at putting together a picture-perfect home. And thanks to his winning strokes, the lucky family can truly enjoy a posh hotel-inspired setting even without leaving home.
