These days modern contemporary homes are a trend amongst homeowners but we’re here to remind you of the stunning elements that Asian designs have to offer. You can balance Asian influences with modern and contemporary designs to achieve a harmonious home.
Many homeowners look to the west for home design styles like French and Scandinavian, but we suggest you consider looking a little closer to home.
Although modern and contemporary homes are trendy, you can have your interior designer fuse those styles with Asian aesthetics to create the perfect space. These Malaysian homes have opted for locally influenced designs; from stunning feature walls to décor and furniture, here are some ideas you can steal.
This modern home has various Asian twists and one of our favourite spaces in this unit is the feature wall that sports major oriental influences.
