Give your space a facelift with the recently-launched STYLODECO (a play on the Singlish phrase ‘stylo milo’), an online platform with a huge selection of sophisticated furniture and home decor accessories.
From candles and lamps to cushions, tableware, chairs, bed linens, fashion accessories and even art pieces, the boutique stocks a number of international brands – most of which are not available elsewhere in Singapore – such as House Doctor, Bloomingville, Malagoon, By Chatel, Petit Pois Children, Papatotoro and Broste, with many more added to the list each month.
The vibe here is elegant and stylish, featuring clean designs with affordable price tags that start from as low as $3 (for candles). Also interesting is STYLODECO’s curation of artworks and antiques, with patterned fabrics from Japan, Iran and France, as well as chromolithographies dating all the way back to 1869.
Pieces to highlight include the eclipse lamp by Objekto ($245), a shape-shifting lamp by Brazilian designer Mauricia Klabin that sits in the Museum of Modern Art in New York as part of its permanent collection, and Les Glaçés by Marylene Tortora ($130), simple handmade cement tiles each engraved with an iconic piece of furniture from renowned designers.
If that’s not enough to entice you, they’re offering ‘Deco Packages’ and ‘Deco Hampers’ for ten, 15 or 20 percent off all year long. Just pick whatever theme, colour, pattern or material you prefer, and you’ll get a ready-todecorate, pre-mixed bag of different products without the hassle of picking out items.
