One of the realities of expat life is that many of us spend years living in rental properties. The good news? You don’t need to renovate or redecorate to make a space feel like yours. Often it’s the smaller touches that turn a house into a home. Here are a few of our favourite brands for home decor in Singapore available at A Raft of Otters – that do exactly that. You can pop in to see them at Tanglin Mall or on Joo Chiat.
Lou Lauwerys – home decor in Singapore for your walls
Lou Lauwerys’ latest collection of botanical lino prints features frangipani, orchids and lotus flowers. These hand-pressed artworks help you create your own Botanic Gardens-inspired gallery wall. It’s a simple way to add colour and character to your walls!
TEMPLE Home Fragrances – set the mood
TEMPLE’s beautifully crafted candles, diffusers and room mists layer botanical notes such as sandalwood, tuberose, lemongrass and peony to create a home that feels warm and welcoming. Consider it the finishing touch for your home decor.
Fleur Kakasi – dress up your table
If you’re not allowed to paint the walls, dress the table instead. Fleur Kakasi’s pure linen tablecloths feature bold colours and hand illustrated tropical prints to brighten a room. Inspired by the lush greenery of the Little Red Dot, they’re easy home decor ideas for adding personality without making a permanent change.
Lily and Sophia – pottery for a good cause
These ceramics are handmade by women in one of Vietnam’s first female-owned pottery studios. From mugs to statement serveware, each piece is handcrafted, unique and designed for everyday use. What’s more, every purchase helps provide meals for homeless children through the Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation.
