Welcome to our Japandi lounge! This is a view of our humble abode from our balcony 😊 Situated right in the heart of our home, we have our statement piece- Castlery’s Marlow Performance L-shape sectional sofa. Its curved edges add a touch of softness and elegance to our home's decor. 
Stepping into our living space with a greenery view from the entrance creates a refreshing and inviting atmosphere. The sight of lush plants and trees immediately brings a sense of tranquility and connection with nature. This is enhanced by our automatic curtains, which allow for an airy, light-filled environment. 
You can clearly see our love for arch and curves from this wide angle shot! This complements well with our Vanilla Oak herringbone vinyl flooring from ArcFloor. 
We concealed a beam with a partition wall which allows us to integrate arc-shaped shelves. Sitting on these shelves are beautiful pieces from Taobao and Hooga. We positioned the Ronde Tracklights from Shiok Lighting in a way which highlight the arches and our 75 inch Samsung Frame TV. Doesn’t the “Great Wave off Kanagawa” resemble a perfect painting on our lime-washed wall? 
In order to create a welcoming and visually striking entrance, we used the combination of warm wood tones with Paranakan tiles at our foyer. 
We love how the fluted panels not only conceal our carpentry for storage but also enhance the aesthetic by providing a niche for displaying our photos and reed diffuser. It's great when functionality meets aesthetics so seamlessly! 
We incorporated fluted panels to conceal our bomb shelter to maintain both functionality and aesthetics. The arch and niche for footwear storage add a touch of elegance and organization to our foyer. 
We love how the LED strips contribute to a cozy ambiance. 
The beauty of fluted panels, arc and curves from our cosy lounge 😍 
Hidden behind the fluted panels are our storage compartments! Who doesn’t appreciate having extra storage space? 😉 
A perfect ensemble of Castlery’s beautiful pieces in the heart of our home! Featuring their Marlow Performace Boucle L shape Sectional Sofa, Amber Boucle Swivel Chair and Lorenzo Wool Area Rug. We fell in love with the Marlow series as this sofa comes in four sections, allowing us flexibility in customising its configuration. Its spill-resistant feature adds practicality to its charm. 
In a corner of our living room stands a faux topiary tree with real wood branches from The Nursery Singapore. As an artificial plant, it offers low maintenance, longevity, and versatility, needing no watering or sunlight while effortlessly enhancing our home decor. 
Moving on to our balcony, you'll find even more greenery awaiting! 
We opted for wooden-like tiles for our balcony over traditional wooden decking as it offers durability and resistance to outdoor wear and tear while providing the aesthetic appeal of wood. 
Featuring some of our greens 🪴🍃 
This is our adenium, which hails from Taiwan. Its petals boast a beautiful pink hue that adds a nice touch of elegance 🌷🌸 
We are fortunate to have a balcony overlooking Bidadari Park, a key area in NParks’ conservation efforts. The park will feature over 2,000 new trees, including more than 150 species specially planted or transplanted from other locations. This ensures that our view of greenery will remain undisturbed by future construction. 
Beautiful sunset view 🌅 
This is how big our sofa is! It has accommodated 11 pax, perfect when we host large gatherings! 
Sitting nicely at a corner of our living room is our customised 4ft fish tank. 
We chose a cherry blossom backdrop as it brings back memories of our recent trip to Japan where we chased hanami from Tokyo to Kyoto. It is a perfect corner of tranquility and nostalgia as we enjoy the company of our goldfish and reminisce the rain of sakura along the river banks of Philosopher’s Path 🌸🌸 Much therapeutic when we see this everyday! 
There can never be too many greens 😉. Standing beside our fish tanks is this beautifully structured Everfresh tree from Pluntco. It’s fascinating how this foliage plant from Japan closes it leaves at night to conserve water! 
Another statement piece we love will be this dining table from Can Can Furnishings. We love how the warm wood tones of its fluted legs complement our Vanilla Oak vinyl flooring. This curates a nice cosy corner where we get to enjoy the latest netflix from our 75 inch tv while munching on our meals. Albeit not a good habit! 🤣 Having our fish tank right beside also adds another charming element to our dining experience. It brings joy and a sense of companionship as they will always swim towards us whenever we sat down, probably anticipating to be fed too! 😄 
This is how cute they are! Our lovely dining company 🥰 We do feel a little sorry if we are eating fish next to them though 🥹 
Another adorable shot 😍 
The perfect view of our living room from our cosy corner! Not only does Cancan furnishing’s Brighton Table functions as a dining table, it also offers ample space for our miscellaneous (Eg. prepping angbaos for the little ones 🤪) Its round surface is perfect for meals and games, accommodating large gatherings when our Sloane Marble Dining Table isn't enough. The coordination of the grey white terrazzo tabletop with our coffee table from Forty Two adds a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing touch to our living room. This pretty much sums up our living room. Stay tuned to our upcoming posts on other corners of our humble abode! 😊
