House Tour: This 3-bedroom condominium was designed to look like a vintage European cafe
After their holidays in Europe, the owners of this 1,184 sq ft (109 sqm) three-bedroom apartment in the east were so inspired that they wanted to replicate the industrial-vintage café look of the restaurants they visited in their house.
Ed Ong of Dwell Interior Design gave their living room wall a textured whitewashed brick treatment to channel an industrial-style ambience. Instead of using fake bricks or look-alike tiles, he chose tiles surfaced with real brick veneer.
Open Concept Kitchen
The open-plan kitchen boasts a large island unit with a countertop of solid concrete and a base that echoes the living room's whitewashed brick wall.
Cement Bathroom Walls
The cement screed walls in the bathroom were coated with a water-resistant finish for easy maintenance.
Overhanging Kitchen Shelf
An overhanging shelf makes use of the space above the kitchen island, while roomy cabinets below provide more storage space.
Dining Room Sideboard
This slim sideboard from Air Division, placed near the dining table, provides handy access to the dishware and napkins.
Balcony
The balcony, which adopts the living room's wood-toned laminate flooring, forms a natural extension of the latter.
The brightly lit space, with two comfy beanbag chairs and storage for books and toys, is a favourite hangout spot of the couple's two young sons.
Master Bedroom
Items like the master bedroom divider and bed were designed to serve multiple purposes. The divider acts as a work space, storage area and TV console, while the bed comprises four portable, modular storage units.
Master Bathroom
The master bathroom sports stylish black and grey tomes.
