Not wanting to be conventional in terms of their home’s design, the new owners of this five-room flat had one request for the Blend by IMC design team: absolutely no wood tones were to be used in the home. Instead, they opted for a monochrome look which the team acceded to by employing a palette of blacks, whites and greys.
However, instead of just using solid shades, the team zoned in on a material palette that also had lots of interesting textures to ramp up the visual appeal of the home. For instance, the newly overlaid floor tiles from local tile supplier Soon Bee Huat feature a grey concrete effect, while custom built-in carpentry near the main entrance and in the walk-in wardrobe were made using white laminates that have subtle wood veining.
Theme aside, the owners had one other requirement for their abode: a series of bookshelves to display the male owner’s impressive Japanese manga collection. Situated in the home office, the structure was outfitted with open cubbies and closed cabinets in textured slate-effect laminates to house comics and office supplies respectively. Additionally, the office’s original partition wall was hacked away and replaced with a half wall topped with glass panels to allow plenty of natural light to flow through easily.
