Unique Living Room Designs You Can Find In Singapore

Everyone has their own unique quirks and that is what makes them special. In today’s generation, there have been many talks about being proud of who you are and showing it to the world. There may not be many opportunities for you to showcase your real self, but there are certainly some interesting ways. One of the many ways one can show their uniqueness is through the styling of their own houses. Everyone tends to go for safer themes like contemporary or Scandinavian to keep the house looking wholesome, but that also means that your house is not that different from everyone else’s. Even with the most pleasing aesthetics, a plain jane house will lack the ability to take your guests’ breath away. 

To stand out, you can never go wrong with designs that scream “you”. Your ideas and beliefs put into the design will create a space that no one will ever be able to replicate, and that will set you apart. If you want a house that is different from the rest but are afraid of going all out, you can always start with planning your living room design first. It is the first space that guests see, and where most of everyone’s time will be spent, including you. Here are some uniquely designed living rooms you can find in Singapore for you to get some inspiration on your design journey.

Industrial Theme

Designed by: MET Interior

For those looking for a classy interior without being too basic, an industrial theme would be the perfect pick for you. Industrial themes feature open spaces and exposed structural elements. Also known as the theme with an edge, industrial themes get much influence from the vibes of factories and warehouses. It is definitely a step up from the basic contemporary and Scandinavian themes and is sure to wow any guest that enters. While you do not need a dark colour palette for this theme, doing so does add an extra layer of mystery to the house’s ambience. Add on a few statement pieces plus some comfortable furniture and you have found yourself the perfect rugged-looking living room. This home in Tampines Avenue 5 shows the perfect blend of utilitarianism and decoration and is without a doubt a unique find in Singapore.

Vintage Theme 

Designed by: Authors • Interior & Styling

The theme says it all. Vintage-themed living rooms feature anything from an earlier period, from the colour palette to even the furnishings. From Victorian times to the retro fever, there are many ways you can play with this theme. Its versatility allows you the creative freedom to design the living just the way you have envisioned it to be without being too basic. There is no colour palette to adhere to as well, as each era has its own specialty. The 1960s are known for their pastels, while the 1930s involve more muted neutral hues. Vintage living rooms exude feelings of nostalgia, especially when the furniture has been passed down from generations before. Having a vintage living room will leave your guests in a nostalgic trance, and this flat in Ang Mo Kio is a great example of that.

Nature Theme

Designed by: Space Atelier

Nature lovers can also showcase their green fingers in their own living room.  Having a green wall as a statement feature in the room will bring out a different look to the living room. Not to mention it makes for a great background for pictures too. 

Nature-inspired living rooms have the ability to replicate the outdoors, making you feel the same freshness without having to step outside. Especially with the majority of people working from home, this theme will work great to get your mind off life’s stressors. There are many ways to bring nature indoors. You can take inspiration from the colour palette of nature or you can make use of wood, rattan, motifs and plants amongst many others to bring your living room to life. 

This flat in Tampines is a great example of bringing nature indoors, with brick designs and green features mimicking the buildings and greenery you typically see outdoors. Add on some cool panel shelves for decoration and you have got yourself a cool living room your friends will love hanging out in. 

Eclectic Theme 

Designed by: Bowerman

Those who cannot seem to decide on what theme to go for can always fall on an eclectic theme. Eclectic living rooms are the best way to showcase your love for the past, present and future without having to compromise on design. These themes showcase the perfect marriage of the old and the new and can help you to tell a story whether it be your own family history or even just a story you love. 

This HDB flat on Circuit Road is the epitome of eclectic with a backdrop of a kimono and walls reminiscent of older Japanese times, mixed with modern furniture. However, one thing you would have to note for this theme is that you should have a clear vision in mind. Randomly pulling in furniture and accessories you like without putting thought into whether they complement one another may result in a chaotic and messy looking living room. With the right unifying motif, you are set to achieve a beautiful living room that’s unique. 

BTS Theme

Designed by: Free Space Intent

For any Korean pop fanatics, why not take a shot at designing your living room inspired by your favourite boy or girl groups? Believe it or not, one homeowner in Tiong Bahru has done just that. The living room (and the whole house of course) is the true embodiment of one’s deep love for the best-selling Korean pop sensation, BTS. As Korean music videos invest heavily in the visual appeal of their sets, you are bound to be spoiled for inspiration choices. Taking inspiration from their “Dynamite” era, the living room is filled with endless pastels and unique decorations. Gone are the days of the monochromatic themes as more homeowners are pushing their boundaries for a colourful living room. Needless to say, having a living room theme dedicated to your favourite boy band gives you all the reason to proudly display your merchandise in your living room. As a Korean pop fan, that truly will be a dream come true.
