10 Most Popular Homes In Singapore 2015
Just like birds building their nests stick by stick, homeowners put in a lot of heart and effort to transform bare and empty houses into homes to call their own.
Through Qanvast, some homes end up being an inspiration to others - giving them ideas to imagine and create their own dream homes.
As homeowners get more discerning and tasteful, it’s no surprise the battle for the most popular homes is getting fiercer, with the best of the best in the running this year.
Without further ado, here are the most popular homes categorized by Singapore’s favorite interior styles – Scandinavian, minimalist, eclectic, industrial and contemporary.
Scandinavian
The Scandinavian-style is once again the most popular interior style in Singapore. It seems like Singaporeans just cannot resist the beauty and practicality of neutral colours, wood-grain textures, and chic décor.
1. A monochromatic colour scheme and sleek lines made this 3-room flat a lot more spacious and airy. The bedroom, however, takes on a different style with warm lighting and fancier elements for a cosier ambience.
Winner: Voila
Location: Anchorvale (HDB, 93sqm)
Cost of renovation: $44,000
2. This condo radiates a playful vibe by balancing a neutral colour scheme with pops of bright colours, and clean-cut lines with a variety of textures.
Runner up: Prozfile
Location: Minton (Condo, 84sqm)
Cost of renovation: $30,000
Minimalist
Clutter and complicated design are big no-nos in today’s world. It’s even said that a minimalistic interior is good for your health! Believe it or not, simplicity calms the mind and balances the soul.
3. Furnished with simple but practical furniture, this homely apartment is perfect for just about anyone. What’s more, the wood feature wall along the corridor adds a sophisticated touch to the design.
Winner: Spaces Living Concept
Location: Yishun (HDB)
Cost of renovation: $40,000
4. A worthy ambassador of the minimalist style, this home looks effortlessly classy. The lack of colour and embellishments has a calming effect and makes it easy for the homeowners to hit refresh anytime.
Runner up: Dezzo
Location: Telok Blangah (HDB, 80sqm)
Cost of renovation: $17,000
Eclectic
It’s hard to define the eclectic style. But the concept behind it is straightforward - integrate styles and elements from different time periods and origins harmoniously. Yes, distinctive details can be thoughtfully connected to produce one coherent design.
5. The theme of this home, “In Paris with love”, is well reflected throughout the apartment. Even then, special attention should be given to the truly French luxurious master bedroom and one-of-a-kind bathtub.
Winner: Space Sense Studio
Location: Toa Payoh (HDB, 90sqm)
Cost of renovation: $55,000
6. Bringing together elements of country, vintage, and contemporary styles, this HDB flat is comfortable yet interesting to live in. Just take a closer look and you will see that the individual parts fill a place of their own, while fitting perfectly into the overall interior design.
Runner up: The Design Practice
Location: Punggol (HDB, 93sqm)
Cost of renovation: $30,000
Industrial
There’s something charming about the raw and dynamic quality of the Industrial look. It has taken Singapore by storm since being introduced here. To nail this style, one has to play with the juxtaposition of unfinished elements and clean, flat surfaces.
7. What makes this home a favourite is how multi-dimensional it is. The space takes on all kinds of elements; raw and worn textures, patterns, metallics, and bright colours, you name it. Yet, instead of being cluttered and chaotic, the interior is easy on the eyes – an impressive feat.
Winner: Green and Lush
Location: Boon Lay (HDB, 100sqm)
Cost of renovation: $25,000
8. This 3-room apartment seems to have no lack of space with its simple Industrial approach. Not deterred by the small master bedroom space, a glass chamber was carved out to become a nifty walk-in closet.
Runner up: Superhome Design
Location: Yishun Natura (HDB, 110sqm)
Cost of renovation: $32,000
Contemporary
Contemporary interior design is often confused with the modern interior design. The latter refers to a clean-lined and geometrical design style that was created in 1919. Contemporary design, however, is about what’s trending today, right now.
9. With details that make good conversation starters, this is indeed a cool home to own. Take the dining space as an example, you may ask yourself, “Why have one lamp when you can have five?”
Winner: Space Sense Studio
Location: Punggol 5 Room (HDB, 110sqm)
Cost of renovation: $70,000
10. This is an extravagant home designed with taste and class. The refined colour palette and open layout go well with the current contemporary furniture and art pieces, and allow room for future interior updates.
