Housewarming

[Chit-Chat with Jayne Tham]

We visited fashion influencer Jayne Tham and radio deejay Vernon A’s monochrome haven for the first party in their new abode, a cosy housewarming party which saw a guest list of slightly under 40. We took the chance to catch up with the stylish duo.

QNS: Congratulations on the beautiful house! Can you share with us what inspired this home design?

Jayne: I would say that this design is a mixture of our personalities. Vernon and I have really similar tastes, in fact our favorite colours are black and white, and so going for this monochrome look was almost a no-brainer, actually.

QNS: Which part of the house is a best representation of you?

Jayne: For me, I’d have to say the kitchen because I am a big fan of cooking and baking! (Pauses) Or maybe it’s a tie between the kitchen and the vanity room, which has all my clothes.

QNS: Let’s go with an all-time favourite. If there was a fire, what do you save first?

This is a tough one. Let me think… My dog! Then after that, I’ll have to take my bags. Vernon will probably grab his TV, though I have no idea how he can carry it because it’s so heavy!

QNS: What is a key consideration when it comes to planning a party?

Food, definitely. We can’t serve a big group with my 4 out of 10 food! Otherwise, I think it’s the company that really matters.

QNS: What makes a good caterer?

A caterer that listens, who would consider your needs and be open to ideas. Every space and event is different and has different constraints and food requirements, so having a caterer who is flexible is really important for your event.
