Moving into a new space can be an exciting, yet daunting, endeavor. With a completely new space, the decorating possibilities are endless. One of the things that I’ve discovered helps ground my own decorating process is choosing a color palette (or three). Whether it be the paint on the walls, the color of my couch or structural wood details, these large hits of color guide everything that comes after, creating focus within a space. Priscilla Tan, a Singapore-based designer and dabbler of all things creative, decided to let color be the guide as she decorated her home. She and her husband Roland have a playful and experimental approach to decorating their home, filling it with everything from quirky action figures and fun IKEA pieces to elegant mid-century furniture. But by creating zones of color (gray, black, white and wood for the living room and dining room, and a library set in black, gold, red and wood), they have created continuity amongst their eclectic collection of art and decor. Within less than a year of living in this home, which they share with Roland’s mother and three pets, Priscilla has managed to express the family’s style in a way that suits both the space and her budget. Thanks, Priscilla, and special thanks to Tan Yang Er for the lovely photos! -Shannon Grant
Image above: “What I love about our dining room is how mismatched everything looks,” Priscilla says. “Everyone loves our swing bench as they are able to sit on it while having dinner, and after dinner, they can swing it the other way around to watch TV. The cement raw wall was deliberately done up after showing my contractor many samples of how I wanted it to turn out. It took quite a bit of nagging and we are so happy with the final color and texture. All of our guests love the raw touch to the wall.”
