Colonial Charm Meets Asian Heritage In This Spacious Loyang Valley Apartment

This Loyang Valley family home – which features a stylish blend of colonial and Asian influences – was designed by the homeowners themselves

July 14, 2021

Home & Decor

Designing a home with both colonial and Asian influences requires an eye for detail and balance, something that homeowners Alvin and Gina proved to have when they took on the task of designing their Loyang Valley condo apartment themselves.

They wanted a relaxing home that exuded the charm of a colonial mansion, with some Asian antiques in the mix. Since the home overlooks verdant greenery just outside, some tropical elements would tie it all together seamlessly. “We wanted a design style that would transport you to a place of serenity, away from Singapore’s hustle and bustle,” says Alvin.

Alvin and Gina chose a dark wood floor – reminiscent of Raffles Hotel – to connect all the spaces together. They wanted a large, spacious area that would be able to host gatherings, so they reoriented the location of the TV and sofa to create more space. The TV console itself is also kept minimal – they did away with the usual boxy setup and large speakers, choosing instead to have a smart Wi-Fi connected TV that can mirror their phone display for streaming services.

In pride of place in the living room is the seven-metre wallpaper, outfitted with bright floral wallpaper that breathes life into the living room and reflects the greenery outside.

The furniture is an eclectic mix of classic English furniture and Asian antiques – a leather chesterfield sofa, for instance, sits next to an antique cabinet and coffee table from India.

An light, neutral, intricately-carved cabinet like this one helps to balance out the heavier elements while still lending visual interest.

The dining area is set in the 150sq ft balcony, which overlooks a lush green field. Ceiling beams, traditional rattan awnings, and a scrubbed wooden table complete the look.

In the master bedroom, the four-poster creates a focal point in the otherwise all-white bedroom. A white louvre door separates the sleeping quarters from the walk-in closet.
