Brand new furnishings, updated surface materials and a well-executed design plan gave this three-bedroom apartment a new lease on life
Whether for a first or second home, when purchasing a resale apartment, it can be tempting to fully overhaul the space and update it with new fittings, fixtures, and furnishings. However, there is something inherently beautiful about resale homes, and homeowners actually strive to maintain and honor the integrity of the old house despite sporting a new interior. This is perfectly demonstrated in this walk-up apartment in Yio Chu Kang.
Home to a couple and their toddler, the owners engaged the help of local interior design firm three-d concept were to turn their dream home into a reality. Having already had an existing relationship with the team from a previous renovation project, the owners gave the designers free rein over the ideas and execution of their new abode. Without the constraints of having to follow a specific theme, the designers could then focus on creating a space that would suit the young family’s current and future needs.
To create a greater sense of openness and allow more natural light to filter through the home, the wall looking out into the balcony was torn down and replaced with sliding glass doors. This was then complemented by clean white walls that not only helped elevate the lightness and expanse of the apartment but also served as a timeless backdrop to display shelving adorned with memorabilia, personal artifacts and the like.
