What Is The Best Way To Organize Cables for a Clean and Functional Space?

Revamping a family home is no small feat—it requires coordination between many people, all while making sure everyone’s design preferences and functional needs are met. Leading the charge in her family’s renovation, Airin Lee, makeup artist and founder of arly.co, opens up about how her 25-year-old family home underwent a stunning transformation.

“As this is a family home, everyone had a say in the design and planning process,” says Airin. “We blended jadeite, silver metallic, white, black, and light wood throughout the space.” The challenge for Airin was to harmonize her parents’ love for traditional Chinese elements with her brother’s taste for sleek, modern design; and her own preference for a cosy, European vibe. 

“Revamping the space is not just about changing design, it is actually about how this place can grow with us.”

“My family is actually very particular about aesthetics, so when we are choosing different kinds of things in the house we needed variety. Nexen has a wide variety of colours and sizes, and we decided on the Starlight Silver with a metallic finish, Oslo Grey and Soft Sand. They go seamlessly at different areas of the house.”

Functionality was also key in a home with many different personalities and needs. For Airin, the Nexen Slim eBar was the perfect choice, offering a range of sizes and colours that helped reflect each family member’s unique style so that everyone can call this their home. “For my mum and dad, happiness is simple—it’s when everyone is together at home.”

“It looks really good in the house. I find that it is very seamless. Sometimes you forget that its actually this entire plug right there.”

With 15 years of experience as a makeup artist, Airin has a sharp eye for both aesthetics and functionality.

“What I love about the Nexen Slim eBar is how fluid it is,” says Airin, reflecting on her selection of colors and sizes for the home. “If you only need one plug, you can have that. If you need four, you can always add on later.”

This flexibility is crucial for Airin, as a family home needs to adapt to the changing needs of each family member at different life stages. By keeping the functionality flexible, she ensures the home evolves with everyone’s needs over time.
