Building upon the foundation laid in our previous article, we unveil a treasure trove of creative concepts, transforming these living spaces into havens of style and functionality. So, without further ado, let's unlock the door to endless possibilities and unveil the transformative wonders of these remarkable 5-room flat designs.

 

Modern and Industrial-Styled Home by Artspaze

If you’re looking to transform your home to become more modern, but prefer a more rugged look or darker tones; this home designed by Artspaze may be a perfect inspiration! Located at 152a Bedok, Artspaze has truly revamped a simple HDB space to one that is breathtakingly stylish and functional.

 

Entranceway





The entranceway of this industrial-style space boasts a wooden main door that provides a warm contrast to the cool tones of its concrete floors and exposed brick walls. A black-accented spotlight draws attention to the transparent stool placed conveniently next to a pair of shoes, emphasizing the open layout concept. This entranceway leads seamlessly to the kitchen and dining area, making it the perfect introduction to this welcoming and functional space.

 

Kitchen / Dining Area




The industrial-style kitchen and dining area exude a sleek and contemporary atmosphere within its open-concept space. The gallery kitchen layout showcases black cabinets and a matching kitchen hood, boldly contrasting against the grey backsplash tiles. Meanwhile, earthy accents and slim wooden shelving add warmth and character to the overall design. The prominent black pipe suspending gracefully from the ceiling, on the other hand, enhances the space's industrial look. 





A massive double-door black fridge, complete with a wine compartment, stands prominently against the other wall. A grand concrete dining table takes centre stage, surrounded by luxurious leather herringbone chairs and complemented by concrete benches for additional seating. Above the table, a captivating glass pendant light with golden accents illuminates the space, adding a touch of elegance. On another side of the room, a captivating green cabinet accent wall catches the eye. Muted green cabinetry gracefully flanks a white wall arch-shaped frame, while wooden shelving stands against a backdrop of glossy stone wall backsplash, creating a harmonious blend of natural and industrial elements throughout the space. 



Master Bedroom




This modern and industrial-style bedroom boasts a refined aesthetic with darker tones, an abundance of natural light, and a spacious layout that mirrors the luxury of a hotel. A sleek wardrobe with black glass sliding doors adds a chic touch to the room while allowing for ample storage. Meanwhile, the frosted door leading to the master toilet adds privacy and a sense of exclusivity. 




Artspaze has even gone above and beyond to upgrade the bedframe to be made of leather – creating a luxurious and hotel-esque look. At the same time, the grey bedsheets and beige overthrows create a calming ambience that is perfect for rest and relaxation. But what truly stands out in this master bedroom is the customised wooden vanity table that seamlessly extends to the wardrobe. It is situated right in front of the windows, allowing plenty of natural light to stream in. The vanity table is also paired with a leather stool for a cohesive look, dried flowers for a natural touch, and a hanging pendant light for additional vibrancy. 


 



Ensuring no space is wasted, Artspaze has transformed another corner of the master bedroom. Boasting a massive mirror atop a circular woven rug, it is surrounded by rustic details like a wooden blanket ladder, earthy-toned cushions, and dried reeds. Meanwhile, the woven pendant lighting fixture provides warm, ambient lighting that radiates throughout the entire space, creating a cosy atmosphere. 


 

Master Bathroom





This industrial-style master bathroom showcases a bold and stylish design with black accents throughout. The wooden shelf that serves as a sink table adds warmth and natural texture, contrasting against the wide black sink. The toilet bowl is also sleek black, complementing the overall colour scheme of the room. The floor and walls are finished with the same concrete texture, creating a cohesive and contemporary look. Not to mention, it also creates an illusion of a seemingly spacious bathroom! Meanwhile, the black frosted glass panel helps to maintain that open feel while adding privacy between the shower and dry areas. To further distinguish the two spaces, the black-tile backsplash is used for added visual contrast. Meanwhile, a massive window allows natural light to flood the room, creating a bright and airy feel that balances the darker tones of the bathroom's design. 

 


Bathroom





The other bathroom designed by Artspaze is also equally stunning. Featuring the same wooden floating sink, this bathroom takes on a slightly lighter colour scheme with a graphite sink (instead of a sleek black one). Not to mention, the lack of doors also helps to make the entire bathroom appear more bright and airy. Not to worry, there is a subtle ledge to ensure water does not get to the sink areas, while at the same time, does not disrupt the aesthetic of this beautiful bathroom. To add pops of colour to the space, dried flowers in vases are also added beneath the sink. 

 

White and Wooden-Accented Home by Creative Studio


If the previous home is too dark for you, and you rather have a brighter and more natural look; perhaps this home designed by Creative Studio would be the perfect renovation inspiration for you! Situated at Lengkong Tifa, this home plays around with different textures of wood to create a visually stunning space. So why not continue on to see some great interior design renovations? 

 

 

Living Room 





This white and wooden-accented living room exudes a cosy and inviting atmosphere with its charming blend of neutral tones and natural textures. A TV is elegantly positioned against dark wooden fluted panels, creating a striking focal point on the feature wall. Meanwhile, the wooden frame sofa, adorned with comfortable beige cushion seats, invites relaxation and comfort. Light wood floor tiles contribute to the warm and inviting atmosphere, while the wooden coffee table and matching TV console shelving offer both style and functionality. Adding another touch of black to tie the space together is the black ceiling fan. Beyond just aesthetics, Creative Studio also takes into account one’s needs and preferences and blends them with style. For instance, take a look at the charming wooden truck-like bookshelf that showcases children's books. Not only does this offer great functionality, but it also matches the space’s wooden them and can even add a playful element to the space. Finally, wooden window blinds and recessed lighting on the white walls complete the harmonious blend of white and wooden accents, creating an inviting and soothing living room retreat.

 

Entertainment Room 




Even with limited space, Creative Studio has creatively found ways to make the best out of it to create a simple entertainment room for relaxation. Anchoring the space is a large L-shaped leather sofa that provides ample seating for comfort. It is set against the massive windows to allow light to stream in and open up the space. Meanwhile, the wooden window blinds give you additional privacy while matching the wooden theme of the entire home. Facing the white walls, two adjustable-height tables serve as versatile gaming or work setups, complete with chairs for comfortable use. A black ceiling fan with a light fixture adds a practical touch, ensuring proper ventilation and illumination in the room. 

 

Dining Area




This simple dining room exudes an elegant and minimalist charm, creating a welcoming space for meals and gatherings. A lighter shade of wooden table takes centre stage, complemented by a grey-cushioned bench and chairs, providing comfortable seating for guests. The open-concept layout enhances the room's spaciousness, allowing for seamless transitions between the dining area and adjacent spaces. Nonetheless, this dining area is still easily distinguished due to the use of lighter shades of wood. Meanwhile, the white walls create a clean and timeless backdrop, allowing the focus to remain on the simplicity and beauty of the furniture and overall design. 

 

Hallway 





Who said that a hallway can’t be beautiful? Well, Creative Studio has challenged the norms of a boring hallway with a stunning hallway. Boasting fluted wooden panels on one side, and wooden cabinets on the other, this hallway is definitely one to impress. Not to mention, the white arch frame to the kitchen coupled with the recessed lighting help to enhance the space’s beauty. In fact, why don’t we take a closer look at the exquisite details?

 



Let’s first take a look at the wooden cabinets. The wooden cabinets are arranged in a L-shape to provide maximum storage space, while at the same time, ensuring the space doesn’t look too cramped. The mix of hidden storage areas and display areas also helps to keep things looking neat and clutter-free. Best of all? The recessed lighting in the cabinets and spotlight help to keep the space well-lighted-up and beautiful. And the wooden panels on the right help to separate the dining area and this space. 

 

Storage Area / Bathroom




Creative Studio didn’t just add fluted wooden panels in the hallway for the looks, they’re for practical reasons too. And that’s to hide away the messy storage area. That’s right, the fluted wooden panels actually double as a hidden storage area! Apart from that, the fluted wooden panels can also be opened up to reveal the hidden bathroom. 

 

 




Despite the small bathroom space, Creative Studio has maximised every inch of this space. Making use of a double wooden sink table, allows you to have more storage area while keeping things neat. Not to mention, the glass shower enclosure helps to open up the space. Meanwhile, the black accents (such as the rain shower and door handles) add a touch of modernity. Meanwhile, the cosy grey floormat adds practicality to ensure you don’t wet your dry toilet areas. 

 

Kitchen 




Moving back to the kitchen, it’s time to step through the charming arch-shape entrance. 

 




Because of the constricted kitchen space, Creative Studio has opted for a lighter colour palette to prevent the space from looking too cramped. The white cabinets with a wooden countertop and matching wooden backsplash tiles create a seamless and cohesive look, adding warmth and natural charm to the kitchen. Recessed lighting illuminates the space, enhancing visibility and creating a welcoming ambience. Not to mention, the L-shaped kitchen layout maximizes efficiency and functionality, with the washer and oven fitted seamlessly within the design. On the left side, massive gated windows flood the kitchen with natural light, creating an airy and open feel. Additionally, a modern laundry drying rack is cleverly attached to the ceiling, offering a convenient and practical solution for laundry needs

 

Master Bedroom




Moving onto the bedroom, it starts to take on a more tranquil and serene atmosphere with the use of muter-toned woods and beiges. The centrepiece of the room is the wooden-framed bed, adorned with crisp white bed linens and sheets, offering a cosy and inviting space after a long and tiring day. Meanwhile, the windows are fitted with wooden blinds, allowing soft natural light to filter through while adding warmth to the room. A simple wooden bedside table adds a touch of convenience and functionality. 

 



On the other side of the bedroom, Creative Studio has made it their mission to maximise storage space. A TV is discreetly fitted among white cabinets and wardrobes, seamlessly blending entertainment and storage functionality. Apart from the cabinet spaces, woven baskets are also placed above the white cabinets for more convenient storage options (and to add some texture to the space). Meanwhile, recessed lighting illuminates the room and cabinets with a soft, ambient glow, enhancing the overall atmosphere. A black ceiling fan with a light fixture ensures proper ventilation and illumination while adding a contemporary accent to the room's design. 




On the left side of the bedroom, a series of sleek white cabinets grace the space, showcasing a seamless blend of both form and function. These cabinets provide a harmonious mix of display shelves and closed-door storage compartments, allowing for convenient organization and a clutter-free environment. 

 

Master Bathroom


 


The master bathroom exudes a sense of elegance and functionality with its well-designed space and carefully selected furniture. A notable feature is the wooden fluted panels sliding door that serves as a stylish and functional partition. This sliding door creates a separation between the handbag display section and the main bathroom area, offering privacy and a distinct division of space. The wooden fluted panels not only add a touch of warmth and natural texture but also lend a sense of sophistication to the overall design. Coupled with the recessed lighting, it helps to add a luxurious element to the bathroom. Meanwhile, the beige laundry basket enhances convenience levels. 

 



Moving beyond the sliding door, the main bathroom area awaits, showcasing a harmonious blend of modern fixtures and tasteful decor. The bathroom furniture includes a sleek wooden vanity with ample storage space, a golden-accented circular mirror, and concrete flooring throughout. The shower area features sleek glass panels and a rain showerhead, offering a refreshing and indulgent bathing experience. Meanwhile, the windows ensure adequate ventilation in the bathroom.

The intricate patterns of the tiles add a touch of character and charm to the entranceway.
