#236 SquareRooms SEP-NOV 2025

In this issue, we explore how colour and texture shape the way we live. From Geraldine Toh’s murals that turn walls into stories, to hotels across Asia designed to ease the weight of travel, we uncover the emotional pull of shade, surface, and materiality. You’ll also find an eclectic home complete with a pet duck, a second-generation designer blending engineering and craft, and apartments reimagined with bold personality. Together, these stories remind us that design is never just about looks, it’s about choices that define home.
