This unit at Strathmore Ave is a resale HDB apartment with an estimated floor area of 1021 sqft. It features a Modern Scandavanian style. Fully developed in May 2021, this ultra-modern HDB unit in Strathmore Ave is truly a sight to behold. Encompassing 1021 sq ft, it features a contemporary style, in vogue with the urban-minimalist look that is a hot commodity among many present-day Singaporean buyers today. This unit uses a Modern Scandavanian backdrop as its overall canvas, whilst its primary texture is a light wood, followed by natural marble for a highly polished and edgy look. The colour white is the main highlight here since white represents minimalism and has a clean and soothing appeal.
Like yin and yang, the purity of the colour white contrasted with the classic elegance of the colour black.
Although you see hints of zen minimalism in the interior design here, the look is simple and eye-catchingly pleasant but without being overly dull or boring. For instance, the highlight of attention are the wood embellishments here. With the wood appeal, you can't go wrong for a trendy, 21st century "new-age" modern interior update. Wood-based materials also gives it a raw, natural touch that sets the mood of each room for the better. If you are into all things Gaia and Mother Earth, then wood puts you in touch with your inner sustainability.
We would recommend this designer for a classic design topped with an urban-contemporary feel that is edgy and practical at the same time.
However, be prepared to fork out a little more than usual for the cost of renovation since the designer only uses nothing but premium materials. With them, you get superb materials that come hand in hand together with super craftsmanship, albeit from a bunch of talented homegrown designers "ala" Singaporean-made. Come to think of it, why not support local talent? In addition, where else can you get natural polished marble and exceptional quality wood accents at this
cost elsewhere? Their service is worth every top dollar compared to hiring some fancy-schmancy top-interior designer from abroad. Even the Kardashians' home and decor don't even come close to that, minus the price tag!
The master bedroom is spacious and wide enough that there is plenty of space for the user to move in the room freely. It has pristine white backdrops like the plastered white ceiling, brick walls, and natural caracca Italian white marble floor. This application of plain neutral colors is well-transcended in the melamine chipboard wood manufactured Tatami bedframe bedroom cabinet bed frame wall and the light sheer bay window curtains. The KR design rubber wood study table is simple and minimalistic. This room is unique due to the distinctive style and multipurpose design of the Tatami wooden bedframe. However, the walls above the bedhead stand could do with a random striking picture or two to spice up its bare nakedness.
In line with its theme, the kitchen layout is simple and minimalistic at its very best. The Turkey-originated Luna grey marble flooring adds depth and character to the ambiance. But the deep, dark and masculine colours of the built-in cabinet wood materials are the real scene stealers seconded by the electrical equipment. For example, the Panasonic brand of Nanotechnology stainless steel refrigerator, oven, microwave oven and range exhaust hood provides fast and speedy culinary chops in the kitchen. On the other hand, the Speedydecor customized super matt teak wood built-in kitchen with warm underlighting has a hint of sophistication and an alluring feeling. For instance, the designer specifically designs it to be sleek, modern, and cutting-edge so that the user can cook, bake and wash up effortlessly like a world-class culinary connoisseur. The hallway into the kitchen is brightly lit with the Anova white recessed spotlights, elongated, and maximized well enough for people to move around freely, albeit without the fear of knocking into sharp kitchen objects.

The living room is cleverly-designed with a no-frills NipponPaint pristine white colored painted wall. Complementing this design colour are hints of natural matt wood-based accents that can be seen all over the tv cabinet area and flooring. The decor and furniture are laid out tastefully in the simplest of manners, such as the Emohdesign Nordic style solid wood small round coffee table, UrbanNordic Nordic inspired single person lounge armrest chair, and random art pieces hung on the white walls. The colours played around are all neutral in shades. Natural plants add a touch of sustainability to the living room, whilst an oddball figurine of two human figures adds a touch of eccentricity and personal touch.
Make no mistake. After all, this is the same living room but viewed from a different angle. As mentioned earlier, the plastered white ceiling above and the Hong Lee's Ariston white marble flooring give the living room atmosphere a super minimal and clean outlook. From this perspective, you can see that some of the walls are in the shade of papier grey from Nippon For a slight contrast look, wood embellishments are placed on the wall beside it for that seamless raw urban feel. The colours of the furniture are either set in neutral or in a two-tone monochromatic shade. Notice the cushy-looking sofa set with matching coloured pillows? Here, it is a marriage of light grey and dark grey instead of stark black and white. Also, the room could do with less clutter.
A standard modern-day bathroom that relies on practicality and functionality for the area to become a one-way access easy-convenience for its user. Whether it is for grooming purposes, sheer indulgence in a cold/hot relaxing shower after a long hard day at work, or a quick trip to the lavatory for those urgent privacy issues. Here, space is maximized fully in the form of the black Urban Mood semi-elliptical full glass vanity mirror, modern design Bacera's ceramic black wall-mounted toilet, the Myseat premium Osmo wooden bathroom cabinet, and the Gama Resources black ceramic kitchen sink. However, the Iran-originated Pietra grey marble is the centre of attention for it looks uniquely beautiful. On the other hand, the top walls of the wall-mounted toilet could be improved with an eye-popping abstract painting or two
Overall, one can conclude and give their thumbs up that the unit is
designed expertly for a spacious home despite initially being merely a compact-sized HDB unit. For example, this factor can be seen clearly in its space-enhanced spaces that are maximized to the very core by the team of interior design experts. Even the furniture and decor are
placed strategically and in proper order. So that the user can move around freely and blissfully in their own house without any constraints. As cliche as it may sound,” Your Home Is Where Your Heart Is”, is a saying which means that your home is your ultimate sanctuary. Coincidentally, it is also a popular Elvis Presley tune. But, that is another story, of course!
Finally, the theme across the house fits perfectly with everything surrounding it. The colours used are minimalistic and pleasant but with an edge that makes your interior a cut above the rest!
