But now, it is no longer for days gone past. Tufted furniture was once a thing of the past, seen in regal homes, cigar bars, or plush hotels. Faux leather is also great for this application.' 3.

'We always consider the ‘use’ factor when proposing our schemes for clients,' says Cat. Also, if sustainability is a priority, this type of wood is a greener option, and it can last anywhere between 20 to 100 years. When it comes to flooring, engineered wood floors are resistant to moisture and tend to be stable. Even a trained eye can be fooled as often as not. Engineered wood is a great material to bring in because once installed, it can be difficult to distinguish from solid or natural wood. The use of timber on, say cabinets or countertops, or even floor and roof will give rise to a modern farmhouse living room, bedroom, or kitchen style. 'Using wrought details such as a Rocco mirror or rugged materials with a softer material palette can create the right balance,' says Chad. 'And in terms of textures, you'll find boucle and cashmere incorporated into lots of my designs.'

'For this living room we were inspired by the cocktail lounges in Singapore so we brought this glamor through a mural wallpaper, complemented by a curved green sofa, and eye-catching crystal lighting.'

The idea is to mix the idea of lounging or sleep, with the feeling of being inside a plush, high concept space.

Life is for the living, and objects are meant to be enjoyed.'
