10) A bright and airy 5-bedroom matrimonial home in Ang Mo Kio
The homeowners of this five-room BTO unit in Ang Mo Kio, a newlywed, tasked Eugene Lee from Shijin Design Consultancy to create a spacious and functional matrimonial home. The couple is fond of timber flooring, but opted for wood-look tiles instead as they find these easier to maintain and not as costly.
"I suggested a strong saturated green shade for the kitchen; as you can see the kitchen from the living and dining rooms, a punch of colour helps balance out the neutral hues used throughout the home," says Eugene.
11) Soothing colours and fengshui principles make this an inviting five-room flat
Designer Benjeemen Heng of Benjeemen Heng Design follows fengshui principles in every home he designs and this 1,280sqf five-room flat in Ang Mo Kio is no different. The living room is spacious enough to accommodate a plush Le Mercier sofa, which works to anchor the space.

A colourful abstract painting on the sideboard punctuates the space's monochromatic colour scheme.
The designer installed a large frame in the dining area, which sits right under a skylight, to maximise natural illumination and create a focal point.
13) A magazine editor's eclectic 4-room Ang Mo Kio flat filled with antique and upcycled furniture
Her World Brides editor Steve Thio's recycle-and-restyle philosophy led to an eclectic furniture collection with layers of history. Steve's definition of beauty is the refurbished, the recycled and the handmade; anything with a story. The flat is decorated with hand-me-down Persian and Indian rugs, and the wooden daybed in the living room explodes with colours – thanks to over a dozen patterned and embroidered pillow covers.
“The idea is to not waste anything, as much as we can. We are proud to say this is a home of mementoes. The dining stools are from my mother’s home and are as old as I am, and these patchwork cushion covers are from Vietnam. Admittedly, I bought so many without realising I had no cushions, so I had to buy some!” says Steve, with a chuckle.
