The island’s architectural style is a great design inspiration from any homeowners living in this state. From contemporary to vintage design, check out these tastefully artistic homes that define Penang's diverse mix of culture and ethnicity.

1. Chic Monochrome

This charming 2 storey terrace at Irrawaddy road reflects the designer's true understanding of modern luxury. One of our favourite parts of the home is the dining area that showcases matte black furniture and pristine white walls creating a dramatic contrast to the whole room.

Steel, alongside other industrial materials such as iron and metal, plays an important role in conveying the raw masculinity vibe in the room. On top of that, the designer uses a monochromatic palette to give a more down-to-earth aesthetic to the home.
