Creating a living space

Beyond four walls, a paint job and functional appliances, a home needs to be a sanctuary for its owner. And for Ronald Lim, Gain City’s Furniture and Bedding Director, such a haven needs furnishings with character and depth that provide not just comfort but also create a restorative living space.

Dining Tables and Chairs

As the saying goes, the nourishment of our bodies is food, while the nourishment of our souls is in feeding others. And to do both well, you’ll need a good table. Gain City has an entire range of dining tables that serve families of any size.

For instance, with Steyn’s Extendable Dining Set, each table can be fully customised, from table size, to table base and table top. “We always encourage our customers to actively voice their inputs and thoughts when involving any of our dining table sets. This includes their desired dimensions, preferred material (quartz, culture marble or sintered stone) as well as colour choice,” shares Ronald.

The same goes for dining chairs, which can also be customised to the desired colours and materials. Customers are spoilt for choice with more than 50 dining chair selections to choose from.

Recliners

It is natural to want to seek solace in the comfort of your home, especially after a long day at work. For many, the recliner is the perfect restorative furniture to soothe both the mind and soul. Simply being able to lay on your recliner sofa tilted back, with your favourite drink on hand as you muse about your day’s events can be both therapeutic and comforting. There are, of course, many variants of the recliners, so make sure to pick one that is perfect for you.

Need gradual and gentle guided movements to ease your tensions as the night approaches? The Girona Full Fabric Rocking Recliner, which comes with an adjustable rocking function, features a 360-degree swivel. Looking for something more low-maintenance? The Metz Leather Recliner is upholstered with an array of materials for customers to choose from. They can also opt to customise using easy-to-clean and water-repellent fabric. To choose a recliner that is perfect for you, Ronald opines that you should primarily focus on the recliner’s comfort factor. “Its material quality and comfort levels
are often inextricably intertwined,” he adds.

Bedding Accessories

The most invigorating form of restoration, sleep is the fuel we need to reinforce our bodily functions and mental acuity. Think of your bed as the open canvas of your slumber, and your bedding accessories as the paint. No sleep can be complete without properly fitting pillows, bed sheets, and blankets.

Epitex’s comfort pillow provides substantial head and neck support, so you know you won’t wake up with stiff joints. It is also made of polycotton, a material that is known for its anti-bacterial properties. Pair that with Horgen’s Zayne Bed Set, an all-encompassing composition of pillow andbolster cases, a quilt cover, and a fitted sheet that is made with soft, combed cotton. If you enjoy your sheets with a silkier texture, you can instead opt for Horgen’s Solid Fitted Sheet. Made with a blend of synthetic rayon and naturally occurring cotton fibres, this sheet has a satiny and delicate feel. In fact, with more than 15 acclaimed brands of bedding accessories under its roof, customers will have no shortage of styles to match
their dream home.
