Avid decorator Elaine Kim explores French furniture brand Gautier boutique for inspiration while sharing the details that make her interior scheme complete.
Elaine Kim lives a full life—she’s a mum to three adorable boys, a doctor working in palliative care, and the entrepreneur who co-founded family-friendly workspace Trehaus, social enterprise Crib and luxury bridal boutique Trinity Gallery. When it comes to decorating her family abode, she takes charge of its interior design with the same gusto and ambition. “We’re always looking for ways to redecorate our home to make these spaces uniquely our own,” enthuses Elaine.
While the aesthetic design of her home is still a top priority, Elaine appreciates the importance of child-friendly features that make a family home a safe haven for all—and French furniture brand Gautier is mindful of all these qualities through its thoughtful selection of pieces for the young ones.
Housed within a bright, vibrant 7,534sqft space, the French manufacturer’s Singapore flagship is a colourful realm of decorative possibilities.
Living, dining and bedroom zones have been arranged by theme to provide decor inspiration for the whole family. The brand’s signature collections include modular furniture pieces in myriad colourways, which can be customised to suit the needs of each home. A selection of lighting pieces, accessories and other decor items sourced from Europe complete the look of each space.
Versatility also serves as another key feature. Most of Gautier’s furniture collections include modular pieces that can be assembled in different configurations to suit the changing needs of your family. Take, for instance, the brand’s popular range of extendable dining tables, or the bunk beds that can be rearranged to accommodate a growing child’s needs from early childhood to adolescence. Gautier’s collections also embody eco-consciousness, with all pieces produced in Vendée, France using wood sourced from sustainably managed forests as well as recycled wood.
