This four-room HDB apartment in Toa Payoh is designed like an industrial-style artist's studio and loft. The flat is a graphic mix of concrete, fire-engine red and black, with a liberal dose of quirky artwork and quotes thrown in.

Letting the design of the home speak for her personality, the homeowner filled the space with reproductions of pictures she loves, like this graphic of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The "graffiti" on the wall was pasted on.

Words serve as constant inspiration in this home — the quote on the wall by Albert Einstein is laser-cut from sticker paper.

Black string curtains used in place of solid walls gently screen and partition the spaces in the master bedroom, adding a seductive element.

It also partitions off the ensuite bathroom to make the small master bedroom look and feel more spacious.

The study is where she sews and stores her fabrics and tools in a Ikea storage system hidden behind the curtain.
