Since RenoTalk’s first conversation with home-grown furnishing firm IUIGA back in 2017, it has become one of Singapore’s top go-tos for furniture shopping.
IUIGA has become nationally renowned for its winning formula of luxury furnishings and home decor at highly affordable prices without any stinge on quality.
At IUIGA’s website, one is treated to an extensive range of items in categories such as home and living, kitchenware, accessories, and travel.
The brand prides itself on being able to provide its customers with high-end, stylish, and functional life essentials without traditional middleman markups. That means IUIGA brings their products directly from manufacturers and suppliers to their stores, leading to transparent and affordable pricing.
While renovation plans and BTO + condo releases have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, that has not stopped anybody from browsing their favourite interior styles online for their dream home. Social media feeds are especially brimming with beautifully done-up living rooms, inspiring homeowners to revamp or build their communal spaces.
Why not turn to IUIGA to get started?
The RenoTalk team has scoured IUIGA’s furniture lines for furnishings you can get to decorate your living room in five different styles.
1. Mid-Century Modern Style
Also known as the ‘MCM’ style, this popular variation of the ‘modern’ style originated in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s. Due to the housing demands then, there was a focus on function and simplicity.
Furnishings based on this style are simply designed, with more emphasis on practicality rather than aesthetic. However, ‘simple’ does not equate ‘boring’; MCM-styled furniture may have pops of bold, bright colours on them to accentuate the space - think mustard yellow, teal, sapphire blue, muted red, and dark green.
They can also be crafted from combinations of different materials (glass with wood, plastic with wood, metal with wood, etc). A common trait of MCM furnishings is the slim-line furniture legs to avoid a bulky, cumbersome look.

2. Contemporary Style
The contemporary style is often mixed up with the modern style; while they may share some similarities such as simple designs, down-to-earth materials, and clean lines, contemporary focuses on the trends of today.
Contemporary keeps up with what is popular in interior design today; it uses neutral colour palettes (like black, white, and grey), metal-based or metallic materials, and organic, fluid shapes. It may even borrow design traits from other styles to form something unique to appeal to today’s market.

3. Luxury / Glam Style
This style is what its name indicates - think glamorous and rich fittings and furnishings in your home. It is not about how much you put into your living room, but rather, the quality of what you put in it.
Lush textiles such as leather, suede, and velvet will make for opulent upholstery, while glossy surfaces and glittery metallic finishes in your furniture will add ‘upper-class’ to your living room. Bold, dark or muted colours (blue, black, grey, red, green, etc) in grainy patterns on your walls help to complete the look.
However, despite what it sounds like, going for the glam style is far from intimidating; in fact, it is possible to turn your home into a luxurious abode without breaking your budget.

4. Retro
You can accomplish the retro style by combining ‘modern’ and ‘vintage’ design elements. Just like the MCM style, the retro style started and gained popularity between the 1940s to 1970s.
Go for big blocks of bold solid colours (red, yellow, orange, green, brown, etc) and exaggerated curves. MCM design traits like slim furniture legs and leather upholstery also suit this style. Weathered or worn-out carpentry or recycled wooden pallets can help amp up the vintage vibe.
Loud brightly-coloured or heavily intricate patterns, prints, and pop art are also major contributors to the retro style. The more shaggy textures and colours, the better.
However, do note that what makes something ‘retro’ is the amount of nostalgia it gives you - it’s about the ‘outdated’ coming back in style. So the above tips can be taken loosely; even having 1980s-styled mosaic tiles or parquet flooring in the living room may be enough for a retro look.

5. Holiday Resort
It’s all about creating a space that is simple, practical, and comfortable enough to be called a sanctuary.
Think soft shades of blue and green, whites, and wooden furniture. Wooden furniture gives your living room that rustic ‘home away from home’ feel while the whites, blues, and greens invoke comfort, healing, and tranquillity.
While wooden furniture are more durable and easier to maintain (especially in holiday resorts frequently used by travellers), you do not have to stick with solely that; as the holiday home emphasises relaxation, you can have cushions on your sofa or opt for a padded/fabric sofa (counted your fabric sofa is properly and regularly maintained).
Glossy surfaces and wide mirrors reflect sufficient natural light into your living room for an airy, open feel. Adding plants (and you can find them on IUIGA too!) may also enhance that ‘beach resort’ vibe.
