2. Less decorations
The lack of decorations may appear stark at first, but this calculated sparseness complements the bedroom’s architectural outlines to create a modern expression. (Interior design by Three-D Conceptwerke)

3. Clean lines
Space itself is a luxury that should be accentuated, and a room with clean lines and a cream-hued palette does just that. (Interior design by D'perception Ritz)

4. "Wonder box"
Clutter has been effectively removed from this minimal HDB apartment thanks to an anchoring “box” that conceals shelves, wardrobes, and even a washroom. (Interior design by Spacedge Designs)

5. Wood elements
Create a reading corner that you can truly relax in with simple design features and calming wood elements for a cosier touch. (Interior design by Fuse Concept)

6. White-on-white
A white-on-white colour scheme can work wonders if you have a structurally interesting feature like this spiral staircase. (Interior design by The Interarch Design)

7. Timber flooring
A strong design language can be reiterated with just the choice of materials. Here, the architectural skeleton of the home becomes the focal point with timber flooring and a matching wood-look wallpaper for the ceiling. (Interior design by Studio XMSL)

8. Bulkier features to the wall
To better enhance the feel of an open concept bedroom, flush the bulkier features to the wall and refrain from too many decorative elements. (Interior design by Spacedge Designs)

9. Keep it bare
Keep your concrete walls bare and the lighting minimal to create this elegantly moody den. (Interior design by Museum)

10. No handles on cabinets
Handle-less cabinets in matte-finish laminates are the way to go if you desire an urban and minimal kitchen like this one. (Interior design by wynk;collaborative)

11. Parquet or veneer flooring
If you’re afraid that a monochromatic palette will appear too austere, imbue some warmth and add textural depth to the space with parquet or veneer flooring. (Interior design by Space Sense)
