Jazz up your home with a carpet or rug

21st July 2020 by Expat Living 5 Min Read

https://expatliving.sg/shopping-for-rugs-and-carpets-in-singapore-best-furniture-and-home-decor-stores/

Looking to add some colour and softness to your home? Rugs and carpets can really pull the home décor of a room together and be a focal point too. Here’s where you can buy some beautiful rugs and carpets in Singapore – whether it’s contemporary carpets or traditional Eastern rugs, there will be one you just love!

Living DNA

Living DNA sources sustainably produced rugs from India and Turkey. You’ll find over 150 designs, a huge variety of materials (wool, cotton, viscose, leather, jute, sisal and recycled materials) and as many as six sizes per design! Looking for something a bit different? The store also offers bespoke design services.

Styles range from clean modern to geometric, luxe, vibrant, natural, kids’ items and bathroom rugs. They’re all sourced directly from artisans so you get the best prices for quality craftsmanship.

“I source from 12 localities to assemble a collection you can’t find elsewhere. I choose only special and unique pieces. Recently, I’m seeing more clients choose our viscose rugs; they’re loved by families with young children because they feel as luxurious as silk. Customers tell us we’ve hit the sweet spot – our pieces are far from mass-produced quality, but they’re surprisingly affordable.” – Denise Kaur, Founder, Living DNA

Hedger’s Carpet Gallery

Hedger’s has recently seen a resurgence of interest in more traditional designs as customers realise they can be used as collectible works of art infused with history and tradition. The range includes classic floral, contemporary and modern designs, as well as charming primitive tribal designs. If you have a few already and they need a good clean or patch up, Hedger’s also does professional carpet cleaning and restoration work.

The store’s lamb’s wool and silk carpets are sourced from Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India.

“We believe as the progress of carpet-weaving countries continues, this art form will give way to a modern way of making a living. It’s great how many interior designers are fusing more modern furnishings with classic and traditional carpets. Gone are the times when a plain carpet was placed with plain furnishings of the same palette. Now the carpet makes a statement and adds some colour as well as texture.” – Peter Hedger, Owner, Hedger’s Carpet Gallery

The Cinnamon Room

One of the chic contemporary rugs from The Cinnamon Room will definitely add the wow factor to your living space. They look and feel good, and they’re ethically sourced too! But owner Visha knows that buying a rug or carpet is a big decision so she’s committed to helping you make the right choice. She’ll talk through your space and help you with rug size and room dimensions, and also discuss placement and colour options.

The hide rugs are easily maintained; red wine and coffee stains can be simply wiped away. And because they’re low pile, they’re good for those with allergies. Visha also stocks Dhurry rugs from India.

“I always ensure that neutral doesn’t need to be boring. That’s why I incorporate glamorous metallics, intricate laser etching and geometric designs that will ‘lift’ any room and give it character. Our monochrome and vibrant hued rugs definitely create memorable spaces.” – Visha Nelson, Founder, The Cinnamon Room

WTP – The Furniture Company

Browse a wide range of rugs and carpets, from shaggy to flat-woven, to those with thicker pile and leather carpets, at WTP. The store sources its rugs from India and carries a mix of contemporary carpets in vibrant and more subdued hues.

“There is more demand for flat-woven or Dhurry carpets as they have no pile and don’t catch dust, so they’re more suitable for people with allergies. There’s also a demand for carpets in bamboo silk or Tencel. It has a wonderfully lush look and feel. If it’s woven with wool, the base is more durable than a regular silk carpet. Hand-woven area rugs are highly individual and produce different emotions for different people when they are placed in your home.” – Naazli Somjee, WTP

Originals

Among the wide variety of rugs at Originals, you’ll find vintage Turkish rugs from the Anatolia region, patchwork rugs, natural wool Berber rugs from Morocco and hand-woven wool rugs from India. Originals has also recently begun to stock Armadillo&Co, so you’ll be spoilt for choice with so many awesome designs and sizes!

The store’s 14,000-square-foot showroom allows customers to see a vast selection of carefully selected rugs, furniture and décor in real home situations.

“The most popular rug? It’s a tie between the Jute rugs from India and Turkish patchwork rugs. Turkish patchwork and vintage rugs add warmth and charm to any room. We stock them in a number of carefully selected colours to make it easier to work with; the most popular colours are light blues. They’re extremely rare but so gorgeous when you find the right one!” – Geri Murphy, Originals

Ruby Slipper

Pick up a new handmade and made-to-order rug from Ruby Slipper; they’re sourced from India and Morocco, and each one is a durable and comfy piece made of 100 percent natural fibres.

“People generally prefer rugs made of cotton and jute over wool right now. In addition, more people are exploring new shapes such as oval, while geometric patterns and colourful rugs are also going strong.” – The Ruby Slipper team

Guys: did you know that your skin is structurally different from that of ladies? For most men, androgen (testosterone) stimulation results in skin that’s thicker and tougher than women’s skin. This also means you might need something more than just your wife’s, mum’s or sister’s moisturiser or face wash! 

Lumin was founded on this concept; this California-based online store offers simple yet effective skincare for men, tailored to different skin types and concerns. So, whether you’re looking for a good face cleanser or a moisturiser for men, this is one brand to check out.

To differentiate Lumin from other men’s skincare brands, founders Richard Hong and Darwish Gani flew to South Korea to work on formulas that benefit the thicker and more stubborn skin constructs of men. Most of the ingredients used are powerful plant-based extracts like ginger root, rosemary, coffee and shea butter. The paraben-free and cruelty-free brand also makes a point of avoiding unnecessary nasties commonly associated with popular off-the-shelf products.

If it’s your first time shopping for men’s skincare, you’ll be glad to know that the Lumin experience is simple and fuss-free. Just fill out a brief questionnaire and you’ll get a personalised skincare regime that’s suited to your skin type and lifestyle. You can choose to go with a one-time purchase or have your products delivered on a subscription basis. Alternatively, shop from the curated range of skincare sets catered to different budgets and preferences.

The rain and cold winds getting you down? A warm beverage and maybe a good book to snuggle up to might just chase the blues away!

If hot chocolate is too mainstream for you, could we offer up this red velvet alternative? @littlefarms have a wide selection of oat milks, almond milks and soy milk options. 

Since it's #Veganuary, we recommend using dairy free milks to recreate this recipe....

2 cups non-dairy milk of choice
4 medjool dates (pitted)
1 tablespoon cacao powder
1/2 teaspoon beet powder

Add the milk and dates into a saucepan.
Heat, over medium, until it reaches a simmer. Add the warm milk with the dates and the remaining ingredients into a high speed blender.
Blend until completely smooth and creamy. Serve and enjoy!

Happy New Year from the team at Expat Living. 

Let’s raise a glass to welcome 2021 🥂

As we welcome the start of a new year, it’s time to look back at the year that was. 

Obviously, a standard review of 2020 would be dominated by one global issue, however, we’ve decided to avoid any mention of the C-word and instead, we’re taking a look at some of the other things that happened in 2020 
month by month, from pop culture phenomena to mystery objects in our deserts and skies (full link in our stories)

Enjoy – and have a wonderful 2021!
