Are you new to Singapore and setting up, or just feel it’s time to refresh your home? Finding stores with great interior design styles is key to transforming your space. Black & Walnut and Boulevard Outdoor Inspirations are a pair of shopping destinations that will help you create stylish, comfortable and functional indoors and outdoors. They stock everything from fab sofas, to classy coffee tables, comfy outdoor lounges, marble dining tables and more!
Invigorate your indoors with gorgeous interior design styles
Black & Walnut offers a fab range of luxury, internationally crafted, designer furniture and homeware. From chic and contemporary to more classic interior design styles, you’re sure to find something to suit your individual taste. For example, instore there’s everything you need to refresh or fit out your living room, dining room, bedrooms and workspaces. The high-quality pieces are sourced directly from craftsmen, which makes them approachable and aspirational. Plus, the store also produces its own avant-garde line of refined original furniture.
Key statement pieces
No matter your theme, you can instantly update the heart of your home with a modern living or dining room masterpiece, with the store’s diverse range of luxe lounge and dining room furniture, from sofas to lounge chairs, coffee tables, TV consoles, dining tables, side tables, dining chairs and more.
For the lounge room, swap out heavy furnishings for lighter, more breathable fabrics like linen and cotton. For example, the Haricot Sofa (pictured above) is a gorgeously light sofa with modern, clean lines, sleek stainless steel legs and hard-wearing fabric upholstery; it also features top grain leather straps for an industrial finish. Re-organise your remaining furniture around your new sofa to create a more open layout for easy entertaining. Incorporate a stylish coffee table with a glossy or wooden texture to add a touch of elegance.
You can also uplift your dining area with an elegant table-and-chairs ensemble. One of the Somerset rectangular marble dining tables (below) with polished marble top and streamer ribbon American ash leg design would be an absolute show-stopper. Complement the table with comfortable and classy dining chairs in coordinating colours, and complete the look with a matching sideboard.
Inviting lighting
Warm lighting is key to creating the right mood in your abode. Clear the cobwebs, clean those windows and let natural light flood in. For the dimmer areas, strategically placed ambient lights and lamps are transformative. Black & Walnut has a radiant collection of exclusive patented artistic light designs, ideal for brightening any room.
Overhaul your outdoors and instantly refresh your home
Boulevard Outdoor Inspirations is a go-to award-winning outdoor furniture brand in Singapore that carries a wide range of cosmopolitan collections. You can find something for every section of your outside space, from lounge and dining areas, to bars, poolside spaces, patios and balconies. Every taste is catered for, too – choose from enduring classics like synthetic rattan wicker and natural teak or more modern elements like marble dining tables, textilene slings and high-tech rope and strap weaves.
Revitalise your outdoor essentials
A carefully considered outdoor furniture setup can really work to maximise your space. There are plenty of on-trend outdoor options to choose from, including lounge chairs, sofas, coffee tables, dining tables, daybeds, sun loungers, swings and bars. Each piece is thoughtfully designed to look good, feel great and last the test of time.
Select key pieces to allow you to lounge in comfort and style for apéritifs, and then slip seamlessly to your dining space for a feast. Create a cosy lounge corner by opting for a plush outdoor sofa with weather-resistant cushions and fabrics to ensure durability throughout the year. Also new in-store is the versatile Seroga three-piece balcony set (below) , comprising a synthetic rattan wicker weave lounge chair with seat cushion, crescent shaped ottoman and coffee table with tempered glass top in a frosted finish. This set is light and easy to move around, and will stay looking fresh and inviting for years to come.
Elevate your alfresco dining experience with one of the many designer dining sets at Boulevard Outdoor Inspirations. We’re loving the Taramanti eight-seater outdoor dining set (above); it’s the perfect size for gathering the whole crew. Featuring minimalist styling at its best, the chairs have an attractive synthetic rattan wicker weave and comfy cushions. Pair with the aluminium, resin twist wicker and glossy sintered stone table and you’re ready for a cracking party.
Brighten with accents
Accessories can be powerful agents to uplift your aesthetic with subtle changes – for example, you can refresh your colour palette with light, airy colours such as whites, brights and blues to create a summery feel. The Boulevard Outdoor Inspirations range of outdoor cushions are the epitome of comfort and style, too, offering support and softness in high-quality, durable materials. Elsewhere, shade solutions like an umbrella or a gazebo provide relief from the sun during long hot days spent lounging outside. Or add a burst of greenery with one of the store’s diverse range of planters – from sleek and modern boxes to a charming planter set. For awkward or unusable spaces, think about optimising your flooring with decking or artificial turfing.
