Grand Duchess Apartment by INK Design

One of the most overlooked romances of daily life is the relationship between person and space. Whether it is directly felt or otherwise, a space communicates impressions and commands reactions from the viewer.

This spatial intimacy is nowhere more evident than upon entering the 2000 square feet apartment in Grand Duchess condominium. The homeowners approached interior design KC Tan from INK Design with a definite look in mind: Classic Victorian Interiors. KC Tan from INK Design is LivingPod’s recommended interior designer for this month.

For KC the clients brief was a great opportunity to express his creativity. The creative inspiration for the interior design of this apartment was provided by the 100 year old clubhouse conserved within the Grand Duchess condominium.

KC took this personal creative challenge and presented the mistress of the house with a Classic Victorian feel that is timeless, respects the past, recognizes the present and yet, is still functional interior design.

Upon entering the charming apartment, one is immediately greeted by a Classic Victorian living room with a sophisticated blend of charming fabrics of cushions, and the owner’s favourite Tiffany-blue curtain with wave valance in white piping. To create the classic texture on the wall, two different yet complementary wallpaper designs are used for the entire house.

The whole house is decorated with vintage/antique wall lamps and hand blown lamp shades.

KC sourced for brass hinges and door knobs for the cabinets.

Open Concept kitchen adjacent to the living room complements the Victorian design interiors with its high stools and bar counter.

The huge balcony overlooking the greenery has a charming old Victorian picnic setting .

The spray finished navy blue on the doors bring out the vibrancy of the entire house.

KC has specially chosen the garden cornices design for the ceiling, to add the extra Victorian feel.

KC has selected a modern Axor Hansgrohe waterfall tap and basin to blend in with the Old Victorian vanity and vintage wall mounted side lamps.

To create a grand entrance, a hand crafted mirror is hung on the wall and laid with a Persian rug.

The open concept kitchen design seamlessly weaves the timeless Victorian feel with present day functionality.With this project KC Tan , of INK Design has proven that modern interior design can be profoundly appealing, memorable and stylish – without being merely trendy or fashionable.
