Chinese New Year is a moment of renewal — not only in ritual, but in the spaces we live in. In Singapore, where homes are carefully considered and long-term investments, the season is often marked by subtle changes rather than complete overhauls: a new sofa that anchors the living room, lighting that softens the atmosphere, or details that bring warmth and balance to the home.
This year, Royal Interiors presents 8 Royal Picks for Chinese New Year — a curated selection of brands chosen for their ability to shape space with intention. The focus is on pieces that feel considered, timeless, and aligned with how Singapore homes are lived in today.
The Core Four: Foundations for an Auspicious Home
The first four brands form the backbone of the collection — furniture and lighting that define comfort, proportion, and atmosphere. These are the pieces that quietly set the tone for the year ahead.
Liu Jo Living
Liu Jo Living brings a fashion-informed sensibility into the home, translating softness, texture, and detail into relaxed yet refined furniture. Upholstered seating, tactile fabrics, and gentle silhouettes make it particularly suited to contemporary Singapore interiors, where comfort and material presence matter as much as visual clarity. It is a natural starting point for living spaces that feel warm, welcoming, and adaptable.
Catellani & Smith
Lighting sets the emotional rhythm of a home, and Catellani & Smith approaches it as an atmospheric element rather than a statement. Sculptural yet restrained, the brand’s lighting works quietly with architecture, creating depth through shadow, reflection, and glow. In Chinese New Year traditions, light symbolises clarity and renewal — making this a thoughtful addition to any space.
Gamma Arredamenti
Gamma Arredamenti focuses on form, structure, and precision in upholstery. Its sofas and seating pieces are designed to anchor the living room — offering visual weight without heaviness. For Singapore homes where the living area is both a social and personal space, Gamma provides a sense of permanence and balance, ideal for starting the year grounded and composed.
Penta
Penta’s lighting introduces elegance through proportion and material rather than ornament. Whether floor or suspension, the designs add a refined architectural layer to interiors. Thoughtfully placed lighting enhances energy flow and spatial harmony — key considerations when preparing the home for a new lunar cycle.
The Supporting Four: Adding Character and Expression
Once the foundations are in place, the remaining four brands allow homeowners to express personality, confidence, and individuality. These pieces are not essential, but they bring character — the kind that makes a home feel complete.
Bentley Home
Bentley Home introduces tailored luxury through rich materials, strong forms, and refined detailing. It suits those who prefer interiors with presence and gravitas — spaces that feel composed, confident, and quietly impressive.
Dolce & Gabbana Casa
Bold, expressive, and rooted in Italian culture, Dolce & Gabbana Casa adds colour, pattern, and personality. Used selectively, its pieces bring vibrancy and celebration into the home — a fitting nod to the festive spirit of Chinese New Year.
Trussardi Casa
Trussardi Casa balances modern lines with understated elegance. Its designs work well in layered interiors, adding sophistication without excess. It is ideal for those who value quiet luxury and subtle refinement.
Versace Home
Versace Home is unapologetically expressive, offering strong visual identity and iconic detailing. Whether through a single accent piece or a bolder statement, it brings confidence and individuality — qualities often associated with prosperity and success.
A Considered Start to the New Year
Rather than following trends or seasonal excess, these eight brands were chosen for how they support long-term living. Together, they offer a balanced approach to preparing the home for Chinese New Year — starting with comfort and atmosphere, then building towards character and expression.
At Royal Interiors, the focus remains on thoughtful curation: pieces that work well in Singapore homes, feel relevant beyond the festive season, and age gracefully with time.
Because an auspicious home is not defined by how much changes — but by how intentionally those changes are made.
