Make Everyday a Wellness Retreat, Take a Break in a Light & Natural Oasis at Home
BY SCENE SHANG
UNWIND AND RECHARGE in a restful retreat at home. It’s easier to practise self-care in a safe, nurturing space that soothes the senses. Your style choices can serve as helpful reminders to stick to healthy habits and refine your path towards wellness.
Read on for some tips and timeless designs from us on how to turn your house into a private oasis.
1. Display Keepsakes For A Morning Of Gratitude
The TIONG BAHRU Desk features multiple levels of solid elm wood, so you have the freedom to tell your story through precious memorabilia. Bring good vibes with the Ji Jian Wu Collection.
Start the day with love and positivity. Practice gratitude every morning by reminiscing happy moments in the past and think of at least one joyful thing in the present. Recharge in a space that makes you happy; have a few sentimental tokens as reminders of sweet memories to lift your spirits.
Heritage pieces tell a sentimental story. Mini Windows II - Blue immortalises Peranakan architecture.

2. Take Up A Reflective Hobby
The natural texture and light colour of KIAN Old Elm Wood Gate Bench and THE SIDEKICK Cane Side Table make a harmonious pair that is perfect for a zen, corner studio.
Disconnect, allow your creativity to flow in a space with minimal distractions. Looking inward and expressing your thoughts and feelings helps you be more intune with yourself so that you lead a purposeful and grounded lifestyle. Try painting or writing in a quiet space that is calm and peaceful. Use natural elements and neutral colours for an open feel.
Tip: Other than sight and touch, don’t forget your sense of hearing. Listening to slow, calming music will help soothe your nerves. It’s easier to be vulnerable with yourself when you feel safe.

3. Make Room to Reconnect
Easily convert the XUAN Table to make room for friends and family of any size. Pull out the nostalgic JIA JU Rocking Stool for an extra seat and a beautiful conversation-starter.
Focus on what’s important; the things and people that matter. Choose furniture that help create spaces for quality time to nurture your relationships with loved ones. Consider stools; simple yet convenient additional seating for groups of any size to gather around a comfortable table.
Furniture Care Tip: Moisture and heat can cause damage to any finish. Always wipe up moisture promptly and dry with a soft cloth. Do not place hot items directly on the wood surface.
