House Tour: Indoor plants interior design for this 4-room HDB resale flat in Jurong West
This four-room resale HDB flat in Jurong West, which belongs to and was designed by architect Kenn Goh, is simple yet full of personality.
Visitors will get a peek of the space through this customised black steel gate.
Living & Dining Room
Measuring 969sq ft (90 sqm), the flat has a combined living room and dining area.
"My partner, Kelvin Chan, and I love to host gatherings, and this modular use of the space allows us to do that."
No Curtains
Kenn chose to go curtain-less, as this allows natural light and breeze to fill the room.
Plants play a large role in the design; the greenery complements the neutral and pastel furnishings in the home.
Dining Table
This solid oak table can sit up to 10 people for dinner parties, and double as a large work station for the homeowners. "The use of black steel and oak furnishing here visually separates the dining from living room," explains Kenn.
Storage Shelf
An oak shelf covers the entire length of the wall, and acts as a repository of the homeowners' favourite things, from books to travel finds.
Home Chef Kitchen
Kelvin is an avid home cook, so Kenn designed extensive storage for kitchen utensils and their collection of handcrafted ceramic plates from Japan.
Kitchen Drawers
The large drawers allow easy access for utensils, while the monochrome geometric tiles signals a change in usage of space -- keeping to the wood and grey hues throughout the home.
Bedroom
The bedroom is adorned with mementoes, such as an inspired print of Fernando Botero's Mona Lisa from their Vietnam trip and their collection of Sonny Angel figurines from Japan.
The rest of the room is kept simple and organised.
