From Taipei to Singapore: Inside Yvonne Lim’s new family home that’s chic yet practical

For Koh, the brief was clear from the start. “Our approach was to create a functional home that reflects Yvonne’s lifestyle while remaining comfortable and visually calm,” he said. “Every design decision was made with daily life in mind. The aim was to create a home that feels timeless, practical and easy for the family to maintain.”

Custom carpentry was introduced to maximise storage, while high-quality laminates were selected for longevity. In the kitchen and other wet areas, sintered surfaces were used for durability and ease of maintenance. Warm neutral tones anchor the interiors, complemented by layered lighting designed to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

To keep the clean lines uninterrupted, there are no light switches on the walls; instead lighting is controlled via phone or portable remotes 

The final result, Lim said, captures exactly what she had hoped for. “It is not meant to feel like a showroom. It is lived-in and full of life.”
