Viva is good if you want your house to look like the equivalent of an "Amber Chia" aesthetic -- lots of crystal encrusted products (from lighting to rugs to upholstery).

There was an impressive bathroom store... Kohler and fancy stuff like that -- including a gorgeous Phillip Starck section. Plus a very nice Carpentry shop... customisable furniture and fittings with a catalogue of about 20 different types of local wood... (I was quite amazed).

That was the only thing that impressed me lor... besides a few lighting shops with mediocre selections and bad China knock-offs of iconic European designs. The others are to me too 'ah lian' lor... so called 'modern' but in a very iCreative Home way... again, think Amber Chia meets Eric Leong, never towards the definition of "modern" in the Wallpaper* magazine sense I guess...

Rather disappointing but makes for a challenging browse anyway.

Also this isn't a Houz Depot... not many tile/material shops... more towards furniture and accessories lor...
