Creating a tranquil home environment is an ideal way to relieve the stresses of a hectic lifestyle. And one of the simplest methods to achieve this is with a sleek, uncluttered interior. This is also a good way to make a small home appear larger.
Living area - before
Living area - afterNested within a Balinese-inspired condominium estate, this 2-bedroom apartment was given a style overhaul in a matter of 4 weeks. The all-pervasive neutral color schemes are still in hot demand, but we hope to infuse the color palette of nature into the home to create an interesting look. Green, brown and blue-green tones - colors which immediately conjure up images of trees, sands and skies, contrast sharply against light cream shades to produce a contemporary space that is fit for living for two.

Living/ dining areas - afterIn a small apartment such as this, it is very important to provide plenty of storage. The best way to keep the interior uncluttered yet functional is to integrate storage into the design in an unobtrusive manner. A dining banquette bench offering storage underneath is integrated with the long TV console and joins up with a shoe cabinet cum half-height partition which allows shoes to be retrieved on the entrance side.
