These 3-Bedroom Apartments Will Show You How Easy It Is To Add Colour To Your Home

August 21, 2019

Decorating your home with colour can seem pretty daunting. After all, you’re probably going to have to live with your chosen colour scheme for a long time to come, and that pressure alone can make most homeowners decide to go with a monochromatic theme just so it’s easier to add colour along the way.

However, these three-bedroom apartments in Singapore will show you that adding colour to your home doesn’t always have to be a stressful or scary experience. Get inspired by the gallery below:

These 3-Bedroom Apartments Will Show You How Easy It Is To Add Colour To Your Home
1. Incorporate Your Favourite Colours
image

For this luxurious-looking apartment near Tanjong Rhu belonging to a couple and their two young children,  the sofa’s vibrant print incorporates the couple’s favourite colours: blue and green watercolour-esque strokes for Michelle, and orange contrast piping for Marc. The deep green high back armchairs (with white piping – to keep the look fresh!) were designed for the lady of the house, who requested good back support for reading. The resin geometric coffee table was made to withstand a toddler’s knocks and bumps. We hear that this design was completed within a 10-day time frame too!

2. Take Inspiration From Your Surroundings

Their gorgeous view is the inspiration behind many design decisions – from the reflective end tables that bring the view indoors, to the bespoke Lagoon rug whose design echoes the movement of water in the Geylang River. This goes to show that colours don’t just have to be stuck to accent walls and fixtures.

3. Don't Just Stick To Traditional Colours

For a glamorous effect, the design team painted the drop ceiling a metallic silver hue. This not only adds a glow that illuminates the room, but draws the eye to the intricate chandelier as well. Silver-painted display cabinets and a glass-top dining table enhance the look.

4. Not Every Room Has To Be Colourful

The master bedroom is a restful oasis decked out in earthy tones. A clever use of materials keeps it looking opulent. The furniture is mirror-clad; heavy blackout curtains with a metallic sheen create an intimate setting; while the gleaming and a faux fur bed throw provide plush comfort.

5. Colours Can Also Create The Illusion Of Space

Are pastels your thing? Then you’ll fall in love with this bright and colourful renovated three-bedder apartment in Tokyo. The designer, Adam Nathaniel Furman, whose maternal grandmother is Japanese, rearranged the floor plan to create a larger living room that is united with the kitchen and eat-in island.

The separate master bedroom and bath are off the dining area, creating flexibility should the owners want to rent out part or all of the apartment. The line between living and dining is marked by a curve where lavender carpet meets green-striped vinyl flooring.

Once the hung ceiling was down, beams, ducts and other guts of the building were enclosed in tight cavities that were then covered in textured white wallpaper to keep the increased height.

Adam ended the wall colour at a uniform distance of just over 1.2m from the floor.

“The white doesn’t hide it,” he said about the ceiling’s irregularities, “but the colour draws your eye somewhere else.”

6. Wallpapers Are A Great Way To Add Colour (Temporarily)

The attention-grabbing wallpaper in this apartment makes for a great conversation starter. A treasured painting from the landlord’s personal art collection decorates another wall; the designer, Alvin Kwan from AKD3SIGN was tasked with displaying the artworks.

7. Use Textures & Motifs

In a refreshing break from the greys and earthy tones in the living room, Alvin played with different motifs and textured wallpapers for the bedrooms. Here’s a look at one of the kid’s rooms! We love how the purple curtains and purple sheets add a pop of vibrancy to the space.

8. You Can Never Go Wrong With Marbled Bathrooms

Clad in marble, the master bathroom exudes elegance. Two shades of marble also add dimension.

9. Same, Same But Different

Adding colour to your home could also mean just using different hues. When Victor Ting of The Carpenter’s Workshop walked into his client’s top-floor condominium unit, he saw a lot of potential for design detailing. The three-bedroom apartment had lots of natural light, with a balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, and large, vertical clerestory windows above in the living area. Colour and a bit of fun liven up the home, courtesy of poufs and a floral carpet from Air, and a contemporary sofa with cushions from Xtra.

The semi-open kitchen provides easy access to the dining room, yet maintains an element of privacy between the two spaces. Wood finishes, ranging in shade from light honey to chocolate, add warmth to the minimalist decor.

10. Colours Also Depend On What's In The Room

Books and soft furnishings bring colour into the neutral scheme of the master bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling bookshelves reveal the homeowners’ penchant for travel, culinary, manga and coffee-table books.
