House Tour: Light and airy Muji 3-bedroom apartment in Sunset Way

May 25, 2023
85318-bt_muji_2

When it came to the design of their three-bedroom apartment in Sunset Way, social media entrepreneur Cheo Ming Shen and his fashion designer wife, Patty Denjaruwong, had very different preferences.

The homeowners of this three-bedroom condominium apartment in Sunset Way are a couple in their mid-30s who had very different design directions. The challenge for Terence Neo (design director of 82) and his team was to find common ground that the couple could agree on. They eventually decided on a minimalist Scandinavian style.

The homeownersʼ toy collection takes pride of place at the entrance foyer, where the designer has created a built-in display comprising wooden niches set within a white wall of storage cabinets. These create a focal point against the white canvas, welcoming visitors into the home.

To brighten up the interiors and make the home appear more spacious, Terence used a light palette characteristic of a Scandi style, while taking advantage of the natural light penetrating the apartment interiors.

The homeowners also wanted to enlarge the master bathroom and reconfigure the kitchen and living room.

Like the rest of the home, the living room is predominantly white with brown accents contributed by the sofa and coffee table from Kuhl Home.

One wall in the dining area has been cladded with grey concrete-look tiles to provide a spot of contrast and to better define the seamless space.

Minimalist Home

Ms Denjaruwong is enamoured of the clean, minimalist lines of a Muji home. On the other hand, her husband feels a house isn’t a home if it’s not filled with lots of personal items.

On top of that, Mr Cheo prefers a colourful decor theme, compared to Ms Denjaruwong’s penchant for monochrome.

Undeterred by the clash in taste, interior designer Terence Neo of Eightytwo turned the once dark and stuffy home into airy, personal den.

One of the highlights of the open- concept kitchen is the Moroccan floor tiling that stands out against the white compressed marble flooring in the living and dining rooms.

The wall tiles and kitchen cabinets are all white, but Terence skilfully integrated touches of wood with the open wall shelves.

MUJI Home

Black and white floor tiles and light wood furniture create a Muji-like home.

Patterned tiles on the floor help demarcate the kitchen space.
