image
Keep things simple and clean with a Scandinavian-inspired home. The muted colour scheme in soft, earthy tones is pleasing to the eye, while wood furniture in light shades are a classic staple in many homes as they never go out of style.

3. Warm And Comfy

Forget the sofa and save space – go Japanese by creating a comfortable space on the floor with the right cushion seats and a low coffee table. Clever built-in cabinets save space too, and here we see the reappearance of that classic white + wood theme.

A cosy dining area sits next to an airy kitchen, and the lack of doors really opens up the space to make the petite unit look much bigger and more comfortable.

4. Clean And Monochromatic
image
Lovers of white will love this apartment in Compassvale Ancilla. Not only does it look effortlessly modern, the faux brick wall behind the TV console shakes up the monotony of the sleek white walls, adding some texture to keep things interesting. Keep the lights to bare spotlights and you’ll have a home that has no fuss and frills.

An open-concept kitchen enlarges the space and the bar counter is great for homeowners who enjoy entertaining and hosting guests. It’s also for those who don’t cook extensively, as containing cooking fumes is more difficult with this design.

For instance, a unique headboard that extends to the ceiling brings so much visual interest to the bedroom, so you can focus on keeping the floors more bare. Vintage-style pendant lamps on either side of the bed also lend flair to the space.
