This portable, wooden book box is an eye-catching and original design created by a mum. Just right for toddlers to use independently because it displays the books’ covers, not the spines. Safe to use; features rounded edges and finished in our pioneering water lacquer which is better for kids and the planet. "Purchased as a birthday gift for my 2yr old grandson. It is ideal for storing his books. There is no reaching or difficulty for him to access his books at any time. It is well built, sturdy and a beautiful design. Looks lovely in his bedroom but easy to move around the house." - Jacqueline, Tidy Books customer. Photo Credit: Baby, Kind & Meer

The Ray rug from Kasthall is a long-pile, hand tufted rug. It has a soft, inviting pile, with a harlequin-style grid pattern and a unique hand-drawn look. Its design was inspired by traditional hand-knotted rugs. Available in several beautiful colour combinations, this elegant rug makes a real style statement.

This is an example of a modern dining room in Singapore.

The bathroom has been transformed into a calming, functional retreat. A walk-in shower and deep bathtub sit side by side, offering both quick refreshes and slow unwinding moments. Double basins make busy mornings smoother, while carefully placed windows bring in soft natural light, adding to the serene atmosphere. It’s a space designed for both practicality and pause, a little everyday luxury.
