Classic Decorative Accents + Modern Furnishings = Transitional Charm

It’s all about paying attention to details and adding decorative pieces in a tasteful manner to give modern furnishings flair and character. Avoid going overboard with decor, the right amount of restraint prevents things from getting too cluttered and overwhelming.

Have A Feature Wall

“An English Beading Recess design can enhance an otherwise ‘boring’ or ordinary-looking bomb shelter,” Pei Zhen advises. Update traditional wall molding by making it a feature wall and play with wood textures for added flair.

Opt For Luxe Finishings
