M3 Studio Interior Design Inspiration Series
In this five part series, I’ll be talking about some places that are good source of inspiration that you may not have yet thought about. This series is written for all the interior designers in-the-making who finishing up their final year in design school.

Designer’s Advice: Farmhouse Living in Asia

Designer’s Advice: Bohemian Living in Asia
Forgo the bedframe. Go for the floor bed and generous layers of tie-dyed blanket. Rugs don’t just have to be on the floor. You can hang one off the wall as the headboard.

Opt for hanging hammock chair and beanbags instead.
