SOFT TOUCHES AND LIGHTING
The penthouse features many cosy materials in the furnishing. “From plush upholstery and tactile fabrics to warm wood accents and luxurious rugs, each element was considered to evoke a sense of tactile richness and visual interest, enhancing the overall ambience of intimacy,” affirmed Ng.
Quality furniture from brands like Giorgetti offers both comfort and style. “Plush sofas, lounge chairs and coffee tables are arranged to encourage conversation while maintaining an open and inviting atmosphere,” said Ng. In the main living room, the seating layout is more intimate while in the third level space, a variety of seating compositions, including one of a wide, circular sofa capped by an impressive circular chandelier, facilitate group conversations.
When creating cosy and intimate setting, lighting design is key. Soft, diffused lighting helps create a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the penthouse. Ng recommends warm colour temperatures ranging from 2700K to 3000K that are “reminiscent of candlelight”. Installing dimmer switches to adjust the lighting intensity and set the desired mood for different occasions adds flexibility. At the same time, lampshades and lighting features with diffusers also soften and diffuse light, “minimising harsh shadows and glare”.
