🧠 The Design Philosophy
Trellis is a study in balance—where clean lines, muted colors, and iconic shapes come together in perfect harmony.
🌿 Natural materials like teak wood, rattan, and matte brass
🎨 A warm, muted palette—caramel browns, olive greens, burnt ochres
🛋️ Signature mid-century silhouettes in chairs, sofas, consoles, and lighting
✨ Finishes that are tactile, grounded, and quietly luxurious
Every space, from the entryway to the master bedroom, is designed to feel intentional and lived-in, rather than overly styled or artificial.

🏡 Best Living & Dining Interiors
The living and dining zones at Trellis are unified through warm-toned microconcrete flooring that flows seamlessly across the space. A floating TV unit featuring rattan cabinet doors anchors the living area with earthy texture and visual lightness. Adjacent to it, a cozy dining corner is enhanced with statement pendant lighting and a bespoke bar counter, adding both functionality and charm. The entire space is subtly zoned using elegant vertical wooden fins, creating distinction without closing off the openness.
🛏️ Best Master Bedroom Interiors
Designed with a perfect balance of function and style, the master bedroom features custom wardrobes tailored for Him & Her, complete with smart internal storage. A barn-style sliding mirror door adds a rustic yet modern flair, while the oak wood-paneled back wall with linen-upholstered headboards elevates the sense of comfort. Built-in laundry space and open shelving are integrated seamlessly to enhance practicality without sacrificing design.
🧒 Best Kids & Guest Room Interiors
The kid’s room is playful yet refined, featuring chalkboards, magnetic pinboards, and open box storage that support creativity and growth. Versatile shelving units are planned to adapt as the child’s needs evolve. In the guest room, mirror wardrobe shutters reflect natural light and make the space appear more expansive. These rooms are designed with flexibility in mind, serving both present-day functionality and future adaptability.
🍳 Modular Kitchen & 🚰 Bathrooms Interiors
The kitchen boasts a classic aesthetic with white matte subway-tiled backsplashes, oak laminate finishes, and clean-lined cabinetry. Built-in appliances are neatly integrated to retain visual coherence while offering modern convenience. The bathrooms follow a soothing palette with a mix of cement-finish and vitrified tiles in tones of pale blue, soft green, and subtle grey. Each wet area is crafted to feel fresh, calm, and elevated—mirroring the elegance of the overall home.
