This executive apartment in Bishan was reimagined to create a harmonious space for a family seeking both comfort and practicality. Inspired by minimalist Scandinavian design, the home balances clean lines and functional solutions while meeting the unique needs of a busy household.
The family had several key requirements for the renovation: four bedrooms to accommodate everyone, ample storage solutions to maintain a clutter-free environment, and a functional laundry area. Additionally, they wanted the home to feel inviting and harmonious, blending aesthetics with practicality to support their active lifestyle.
The Living Room
The living room sets the tone for the entire home with its open and airy design. Large windows flood the space with natural light, offering stunning views of the city skyline and creating a serene environment. A neutral color palette dominated by whites, greys, and warm wood tones enhances the sense of spaciousness and tranquility.
Carefully selected furnishings ensure the space is both functional and stylish. A large, comfortable sofa anchors the room, complemented by soft area rugs and understated decor. This inviting area serves as a central hub for family bonding, from movie nights to casual conversations, all while maintaining a clean and modern aesthetic.
The Reading Nook
In a quiet corner of the home, lies a cozy reading nook that offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Custom shelving houses the family’s favorite books, while a plushsettee provides a comfortable spot for reading, napping, or simply enjoying the view of the neighborhood. The nook’s thoughtful design combines functionality with charm, making it a favorite space for all family members.
The Kitchen and Dining Area
The kitchen underwent a significant transformation to enhance functionality and aesthetics. A central island now anchors the space, providing an area for family cooking, casual meals, and everyday conversations. The lower cabinets feature dusty blue laminate, contrasting beautifully with milk-white countertops, backsplashes, and upper cabinetry to create a bright, airy feel.
The Bedroom
The master bedroom embodies serenity, with soft blue accents that create a calming retreat. A walk-in wardrobe, cleverly designed as a corridor leading to the bedroom, provides additional storage while enhancing privacy. Curtains replace traditional doors, optimizing the space’s brightness and flow.
In the children’s bedrooms, practical storage solutions are seamlessly integrated, ensuring the rooms remain functional and clutter-free while reflecting the individuality of their young occupants.
