A variety of marble grains in this elegant hotel-inspired home makes a strong visual impact. Added lustre and glossy surfaces keep the taupe shades looking more resplendent, while wood surfaces present a more approachable feel to the look.

A striking black-and-pink wall functions to conceal the entrance of the household shelter. The strong lines and graphic patterns seen were similarly employed in the built-ins, carrying a strong visual statement through this family home.

The TV hides away into the feature wall when needed, opening up the living room as a space for conversations.

Cosy charm is imbued in this shabby chic inspired home, decked out in a muted palette and interesting motifs. One of the bedrooms comes with a rustic bunk bed that would not be out of place in a rural retreat.

The clean, white kitchen stands in contrast to the rest of the home, serving as a standout feature for the small flat. Patterned floor tiles were chosen for the cooking space as a visual connection.

In this cosy flat, an open plan was designed to have a space better suited to have friends and family over. A bi-fold divider for the bedroom lends spatial flexibility, offering privacy when needed.

Whimsy transitioning floor tiles in the foyer guide one visually into the apartment. The zany blue hue of the kitchen cabinets pops against the rest of the neutral colours, serving as a jewel in the crown.

The faux stone TV wall in the living room is a starting point for the rustic resort theme of this apartment. Polished marble helps to balance things out visually with the grungy wood surfaces in the rest of the home.

This bachelor’s dream pad is packed with all the creature comforts, including a separate wet-and-dry kitchen as well as a work-out/lounging zone closed off using bi-fold wooden doors.

This home went the minimalist Muji route with simple lines, fuss-free silhouettes and white-wood decor. Glass dividers in the kitchen and study further expand the illusion of space.

Things were kept simple in this apartment, with understated patterns to draw attention to the focal points of the home.

An elevated living room acts as a form of divider between the entryway and the communal zone, resulting in a cosier atmosphere and a more unconventional layout.

This apartment manages to marry a timeless palette of light greys and whites with touches of opulence through the use of gold details and marble print flooring in parts of the home.

Wall panelling and gilded embellishments allude to the modern Victorian style in this apartment. But the colour scheme is deliberately pared back for a chic and clean finish.

Picture frame moulding, an archetype of the modern Victorian style home, adds a textural and visual dimension to the interiors.

Walls between two bedrooms were knocked down to create a larger master suite, allowing space for a much coveted walk-in closet that comes with glass doors so you can see where everything is at a glance.

The herringbone wood flooring is one of the most eye-catching features in this condominium. Its warm hue juxtaposes nicely against the darker accents seen elsewhere.

Polished copper panels, dark woods and fluted details contribute to the home’s luxurious hotel vibe. In the bedroom, a black velvet tufted headboard ups the class factor.

The conspicuous lines of the wood laminates bring a sense of nature and rusticity into this apartment. The kitchen brings forth farmhouse chic with a brick-like backsplash.

Inspired by the feature of ‘genkan’ (step-up entryways) in traditional Japanese homes, this all-white, minimalist home designed an elevated platform to segregate the living room from the foyer.

Blending neutrals with black accents can enliven and elevate a space. Evoke textural interest and a sense of warmth with woodgrains.

A slightly raised platform in the living/dining area offers a cosy lounging spot in this communal zone. By plopping down cushions and beanbags, the area transforms into extra seating room during large dinner parties.

A lot of thought went into making the most of the small space. The dining bench for instance, extends out from the TV console and comes with storage. The kitchen pantry counter adopts open shelving and is sliced at an angle to allow for storage without taking up necessary walking room.

Rattan and wood finishes, wooden ceiling beams and leaf print tiles give off plenty of rustic and tropical flair to this apartment.
