Home to a couple in their 60s, their son, daughter-in-law and helper, Selina and Bel of Collective Designs designed this bungalow to house the familyʼs collection of furniture and accessories, while crafting contemporary-style interiors with plenty of space for entertaining guests.
To achieve this, the designers chose a neutral colour palette that included shades of greys and blues, and paired furniture and furnishings – such as the armchairs in the living room – to complement the overall look.
Peranakan Dining Room
A unique part of the home is the Peranakan-themed corner where antiques and porcelain pieces that the family has collected over the years are displayed.
Peranakan-style artworks and fabric dot the space, adding a myriad of colours, patterns and an old-school charm to the abode.
Located near the dining area and with plenty of natural light, the homeowners enjoy having afternoon tea here.
It looks out to a compact yet lush garden furnished with outdoor seating.

Wine Cellar
Everything has its place in the wine cellar, with built-in cabinets and racks for wine glasses.

Open Concept Kitchen
The kitchen proved to be the biggest challenge during the renovation process; the family wanted an open-concept kitchen, but there were structural columns that could not be removed.
Instead, they were incorporated into the design and now frame the space which houses bright blue cabinets.
Thanks to the large windows, natural light floods into the adjacent spaces, too.

Structural Columns
Structural columns help define the kitchen space distinctively.

TV Feature Wall
A simple TV console design allows for many display shelves to showcase knick-knacks.

Light Wood Doors
Light wood panels create a seamless look between wardrobe doors and entrance to the “man cave”.
The master bedroom, which connects to a “man cave”, also has touches of the hue to match the light wood tones.

Master Bathroom
Shades of blue continue in the rest of the home, such as the turquoise mosaic tiles used in the master bathroom.
