This vibrant Superman-inspired home showcases the bold color choices of the bachelor pad's owner. Taking cues from the blue and red of Superman's iconic costume, he infused these hues throughout to pay homage to his favorite boyhood superhero. The result is a fun, comic book-inspired aesthetic that brings personality and flair to the four-room HDB flat.
The homeowner meticulously planned every detail to bring his Superman-inspired vision to life. He sourced contractor Kent Mah of Beyond Basics to ensure the feasibility of his interior design plans before sourcing all the red and blue fittings and furnishings.

Since red and blue are such bold, saturated colors, Kent advised creating distinct zones for each rather than mixing them haphazardly.
The shared "outside" living areas like the living room, dining room, and kitchen highlight a punchy red reminiscent of Superman's cape. In contrast, the more private bedroom spaces are drenched in calming shades of blue evocative of the superhero's suit. White surfaces and accents help temper the vibrancy.
Crimson red kitchen and living areas
The living, dining and kitchen areas make a statement with their crimson color scheme. The kitchen keeps things streamlined with simple red cabinetry and glossy white countertops. In the living room, plush red sofas create a cozy setting for unwinding or entertaining friends.
Tranquil bachelor pad
Escaping to the bedroom offers a tranquil retreat from the bold red hues elsewhere. Soothing shades of Superman's signature blue adorn the walls, bedding, and built-in cabinets, enveloping the space in cool tones.
The original master bedroom was cleverly converted into an expansive walk-in wardrobe, giving the bachelor pad owner ample space to get dressed in comfort and style.
