Despite its compact footprint, this apartment doesn’t hold back on style. Senior Designer Sharon Ong from D5 Studio Image has maximised its high ceilings, layering dark laminates and wallpaper for depth. Large-format materials minimise joint lines, with metallic gold strips neatly concealing connections. The result is an indulgent space where modern luxury unfolds in every detail.
The entire apartment is draped boldly in black and moody shades. In the kitchen, gold trimmings and handles frame the cabinetry, standing out against sleek black fittings and monochromatic flooring – demonstrating the designer’s skill in crafting a space that feels both dramatic and refined.
The dining area is immersed in black, with cabinets seamlessly blending into paneled walls for a refined, monochromatic look. A large sculptural pendant serves as a striking focal point, while the moveable dining table enhances flexibility, adapting to various needs and creating more space for entertaining when required.
Making full use of the bedroom’s high ceiling, the designer has introduced a cosy loft for the sleeping area, maximising space without compromising comfort. The built-in staircase features cleverly integrated storage, ensuring every inch is put to good use.
With the sleeping area relocated to the loft, an entire room is now devoted to a dresser and storage. Like everywhere else in this apartment, the carefully curated mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting enhances the space, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels both practical and indulgent.
