Against copious amounts of natural light, a stunning combination of light wood variants and breezy blue shades come together to create a comfortable haven for two
In the world of interior design, color plays a vital role. Whether in warm or cool tones, colors evoke different emotions in us. For this reason, a successful interior design relies heavily on the ability to use colors to invoke the right mood in the right space, as well as look pleasing to the eye when viewed at as a whole. Case in point: this four-room HDB apartment located in Punggol that was designed by Kandy Tan from Adroit Interior Design.
Clean and minimalist with a dash of whimsical creativity, this home features plenty of blue and white tones – the former injecting a sense of serenity and peace into space while the latter keeps the ambiance fresh. This is then complemented by wood vinyl flooring, which is overlaid through the entire apartment, creating a more expansive look.
Within the communal areas, the interior is a visual layering of spaces, where different sections of the home flow into each other seamlessly. This is all attributed to the tearing down of the partition wall that once separated the living room and kitchen. By doing so, the couple is able to move through these spaces freely, without the typical experience of walking through corridors.
