A filter of rosy pastels instantly makes this home look lovely and inviting

Germaine Cheah
Pretty In Pink

Stepping into this four-room unit in Toa Payoh, one can’t help but notice that the apartment is entirely bathed in a rosy glow. As the matrimonial home of a young newlywed couple, the doting husband gave his wife free rein over all the design decisions, and the duo commissioned local design-and-build firm Mr. Shopper Studio to help them flesh out her ideas.

With the lady owner having an affinity for pink tones, the project brief given to the design team was to carve out a space that featured a light-filled, pastel-colored Scandinavian theme. As such, a consistent color palette of light wood, neutrals, rose gold and pink was used throughout the home. However, for an aesthetic twist to the typical Scandi style, the designers took inspiration from the interiors of a particular Aesop store they visited – a skincare brand that the owners like – and utilized clean lines and curvatures as their key direction for the home’s design.

Right by the home’s entrance, a floor-to-ceiling cabinet comes into view. As a way to fully maximize previously unused space while concealing the boxy entrance to the unit’s bomb shelter, this customized woodgrain-laminated fixture provides ample storage units for the homeowners’ shoes. Further in, the living room has been dotted with Scandinavian style furniture, of which most notably is the grey fabric sectional sofa as well as a wood-accented television console.
