Just because you have an HDB apartment, it doesn’t mean that you can’t decorate it in whatever style you love. Here we have some stunning examples of renovated HDB apartments that are stylish, clever and definitely not ordinary.
1. Eclectic mix of Industrial, Rustic and Glamorous style
This stunning, four room apartment at 641 Choa Chu Kang St 64, is an eclectic mix of Industrial and modern rustic style with added touches of glamour. The mix works because the statement pieces like the rough timber feature wall with backlighting, and the chunky furniture are balanced by the huge double-height set of windows.
The strong mix of textures continue into the kitchen space, with the feature timber echoed in details and flooring; the rustic touch of cool bar stools upholstered with old jeans combines with a glossy benchtop and refrigerator, adding a glimpse of glam. Industrial style touches via the exposed pipes and bare bulbs continues the theme from the living space.
A touch of Peranakan style of patterned tiles combines with more exposed pipes and faux timber tiles to continue the whole Industrial, Rustic, Glamorous theme in this statement HDB renovation.
2. Tropical Vintage garden vibes
If you have a soft spot for resorts, then the Tropical Vintage style of this
Eunos Crescent HDB apartment should be the perfect interior design inspiration. Mixing strong tropical colours like bright pink and orange, with more neutral tones and featuring cool vintage finds like the cane furniture, creates a fun and warm home.
By adding lots of greenery and bright white walls, the small living room space has a more spacious feel. Sheer white curtains allow in lots of light while cutting down on the glare.
The central hallway corridor has been brightened up by using glass walls with a retro touch of timber framing. The glass wall hides away the study and bedroom spaces without losing the light. This area is perfect for handy round dining table, more plants and a display of collectibles.
