Singapore Flat Multifunctional Makeover

Posted: 07 Jun 2012 09:34 AM PDT

This interior Singapore ‘before and after makeover’ was sent to us by chief designer Stanley Tham, of KNQ Associates, who tells us: “The owner of this 550 sq ft one-bedroom HDB apartment located in the heart of town is a successful lady who had stayed here since childhood. Currently staying together with her mother, she finally found the timing right to give her home a rejuvenation after so many years”.

Each piece of furniture was customized to ensure more than one purpose was served; a tall storage unit conceals a tangle of electric cables as well as forming a quirky light source over an adjoining shoe bench, which doubles as occasional guest seating.

An aqua blue and yellow color play was devised to prevent the apartment from appearing too feminine, and bring a cool freshness to the once dowdy setting. Stylish accessories and unusual fabrics were layered in to add life and fun to the space.
