4 simple steps to getting your home ready

22nd August 2018 by Aimee Fordos 1 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/christmas-planning-get-your-home-ready/

Setting up home and it’s taking it’s toll?  Take a deep breath. Now, channel some Scandinavian calm and take it one step at a time.

Inspired by Scandinavian ideology, furniture store Scanteak is all about bringing a little tranquillity into our hectic lives. Here, they’ve applied their simple and elegant approach to helping get you and your home ready with style.

#1 Make your dining room the heart of the home

While the kitchen is where all the action takes place, it’s the dining room where you and your guests will linger longest.

The Duo Swivel Bench, Mono Dining Chair and Mono Dining Table combo create a cosy, comfortable place to gather and share news and a good meal at any time of year.

#2 Create a festive atmosphere

A few touches (depending on the time of the year) go a long way to creating a special ambience in the dining room. Decorate your table with simple pillar candles or lanterns. Add some greenery or pine cones for a natural touch, and some baubles for a splash of colour.

Dressing up your dining table with festive touches and accessories will automatically add warmth to your dining room.

#3 Max out your space

Create more space so you can welcome guests in comfort. Stylish storage furniture will help clear your clutter before any guests arrive. Expandable tables add additional surfaces for all that food and drink, and folding chairs are a neat solution to your extra seating needs.

#4 Get gifting

Gift shopping can be challenging, whether you’re buying for a loved one or the office. Fortunately, everyone lives somewhere, and a little something to brighten it up will rarely go amiss. Sleek, affordable accessories such as a coaster set or a butler tray make gorgeous yet practical gifts that will bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Scanteak has 16 showrooms around Singapore. Check out their website to find the closest one to you.

In Aimee’s perfect world there would be at least 40 hours in a day and no need for sleep. She loves food, travel and hanging out with her husband and their two giggly girls. She occasionally puts on her running shoes to hit the trails before refuelling with something delicious (most likely involving cheese), but more often than not just ends up wearing her trainers to lunch.
