This HDB five-room flat in Hougang was transformed into an intimate, classical abode, thanks to the mastery of interior design firm Three-D Conceptwerke.
The homeowners, a couple in their 50s, are fond of Victorian style interiors – from ornate cornices to dramatic furnishings – and had requested a similarly luxurious, yet modern look.
Arched Doorway
Arched doorways bring a touch of architectural elegance and sophistication to a room. They add a sense of grandeur and can elevate the overall design aesthetic, giving a space a more refined and upscale look.
TV Feature Wall with Wainscoting
The layout of the 1,400 sq ft (130 sqm) HDB flat allowed for a foyer, with an arch door frame and a customised vintage-look console that sets the scene.
As the Victorian era was known for its elaborate gardens, the couple wanted their own, too; a water feature clad in artificial plants and roses was a vibrant addition to the pristine white-gold interiors.
Chandelier in HDB
Plush velvet furnishings frame the living room, while a glass chandelier and classical painting in the dining room – which was previously a bedroom – imbue a lavish atmosphere.
Textured Wallpaper
The couple chose a textured wallpaper for the master bedroom walls.
Textured wallpapers add depth, dimension, and visual interest to the bedroom. They also conceal wall imperfections – minor cracks, dents, or uneven surfaces.
Walk In Wardrobe
The opening to the master bedroom was also torn down to make space for a walk-in wardrobe, which was wainscoted to match the rest of the home’s Victorian-style features.
