Keeping things fresh, this four-room BTO unit exudes subtle charm with its combination of light pastels, wood tones and clean line.
When it comes to creating bright and cheery interiors, nothing quite beats the appeal of a pastel-centred colour scheme. Despite its relative simplicity, this combination of subdued hues is capable of softening even the harshest-looking space by bringing in a calm and stylish vibe.
It was due to this particularly soothing quality, along with their clients’ sense of style that influenced interior designers Wilson Teng and Vandra Png of Studio Forty Four to propose a cosy tan-and-neutral backdrop, accented with understated pastels for this four-room BTO apartment.
“When Vandra and I first sat down with the homeowners, they shared with us their love for cheery, light-filled living spaces and that was when the current colour scheme was first brought up,” recounts Wilson.
Opening up to an interesting entryway that mixes diamond-shaped and wood-effect porcelain tiles – the tranquil yet lively aesthetic of the apartment is immediately conveyed through an all-white wall adorned with nifty Muuto Dot hooks, which make for convenient “grab-and-go” storage fixtures.
Further enhancing the apartment’s uniqueness is a mix of custom-made furnishings occupying the general living spaces. The living room, which can be zoned off from the adjoining entryway by a pair of sliding doors, prominently features a periwinkle Playground sofa by furniture designer Jens Juul Eilersen and a Turning storage table from Menu.
