Answering the homeowners’ call for a cosy home, interior designer Kah Fei from OVON has used a monochromatic colour scheme of predominantly whites and creams to give this flat an ethereal-like quality. The solid wood timber flooring, plush sofas, soft curves, and a textured rug add layers of comfort and style, while the thoughtful interplay of white and warm white lighting create a radiant and inviting ambience and bring attention to the homeowner’s collectibles.
The entrance to the kitchen has been widened to make the space feel brighter and more open. Given the homeowners’ love for mint green, the designer has incorporated the shade tastefully into the kitchen using mint green tiles as a backsplash. Durable white Melmer quartz countertops were chosen for heavy cooking, complementing the white laminated cabinetry to achieve a fresh, crisp, and inviting aesthetic.
Thanks to the widened kitchen entrance and removal of the previous balcony sliding doors near the entrance, the dining area now feels more spacious and can also comfortably accommodate an eight-seater table. A variety of lighting options, including spotlights, a pendant light, and table lamp, provide versatile ways to illuminate the space and enhance the ambience.
The wall between the storeroom and master bedroom was demolished to create a larger master suite with a spacious home office, walk-in wardrobe, and even a luxurious double sink vanity outside the bathroom. A panel divider effectively separates the work and dress areas for privacy so the homeowners can go about their daily routines with ease.
Mint green tiles in a chevron pattern add playfulness and texture to the cream-toned bathroom, creating a look that is serene yet dynamic. Striking black fixtures provide bold contrast, introducing a modern edge that enhances the overall elegance of the space.
