What comes to mind when someone mentions “American style interiors”? Does it make you think of the homes in Manhattan, New York, or the super-expensive penthouses along Fifth Avenue? This family that relocated from America wanted their new home in Southeast Asia to remind them of their home in USA, and that was the look they requested from design firm T.M. Design Studio.

There are some elements that are distinctly American, namely the way the colours are chosen so that they contrast ever so slightly, such as the white skirting with the grey walls, and the use of wainscotting.

But what really makes this living room look like a stylish Manhattan suite, is the way the materials (leather, marble and wood) mix so harmoniously and the selected of oversized seating appointments, such as the plush and tufted sofa.

The wall is partially covered in white marble, reflecting the same look used in the counter nearby.

A wooden table extends beyond the counter, creating a casual dining area with ample space for up to 10 people.

In the bedroom, the colours are kept soft, with details added in the cabinetry and the walls to create depth and character.

Notice how the walls are kept free of artworks so that the soft colours really come through.
