With everyone jumping on the industrial-style bandwagon for their homes, we've been seeing lots of similar-looking spaces. To ensure your home doesn't end up looking the same as the rest, try these ideas gleaned from this five-room HDB flat in Sengkang, designed by D5 Studio Image.
Idea #1: The industrial look doesn't mean everything has to be raw, rugged and unfinished. Mix it up with soft touches such as a fabric sofa, a rug and large floor cushion with contemporary graphic prints, and conversation-starting accessories such as a levitating lamp!
Idea #2: Zone your space with different lights. Pendant lamps are great for creating a cosy atmosphere at the dining table, while two different types of fixtures in the living room provide general lighting and accent lighting. All three are different styles.
Idea #3: Express your personality! The couple's love for toys and kawaii graphics can be seen dotted through the common areas in the form of art work and toy figurines.
Idea #4: Mix in another style! The home might hint at the industrial look, but the kitchen is all polished and even slightly traditional, with its moulded panelling. A neutral colour scheme allows it to blend well with the rest of the aesthetics.
Idea #5: The bedroom should always be a relaxing space for rest, so don't compromise on that. Bring in wood finishes, and keep things clean and neat with ample storage for your needs.
