Taking inspiration from the urban contemporary appeal of New York lofts, interior designer William Chan of Spacedge Designs transformed this five-bedroom condominium apartment into a New York loft-style home that plays up its spaciousness. And in order to achieve that, a minimalist approach to styling was taken, and the spaces were injected with Scandinavian and Japanese aesthetics.
The heart of this all white apartment is undoubtedly the living room, a breathtaking space that exudes an effortless sense of grandeur. Immerse yourself in the consistent color palette of pristine white walls and floors, complemented by tan-colored mid-century modern furniture that adds warmth and character. The removal of railings on the steps further enhances the sense of openness, allowing the space to flow seamlessly.
A clear, uncluttered space - as seen in the TV zone - was one of the homeowners' requests.

Adjacent to the living room, a cozy and understated television area awaits. Anchored by a dark-colored sofa, this space strikes the perfect balance between visual lightness and coziness with the addition of a transparent Eero Aarnio Bubble chair hanging gracefully beside it. This thoughtful design choice creates an inviting ambiance for relaxation and entertainment.
Mindful not to have their home look like a gallery, artwork and artefacts are strewn casually on the floor rather than framed or put in display cases. This allows them to be switched around easily, too.

To break up the expansive white walls and add a touch of personality, the designer has strategically grouped paintings and decor accessories into casual vignettes throughout the home. This relaxed way of displaying medium-sized art not only adds visual interest but also infuses the space with a laidback charm that perfectly complements the New York loft-style aesthetic.
As the homeowners enjoy having friends over, they chose a 3m-long dining table that brings out the best of the elongated, narrow space.
Scandinavian-inspired dining area
Stepping into the dining area, you'll be greeted by a 3m-long dining table with a slim silhouette that perfectly aligns with the home's minimalist aesthetic. For a stylish contrast, jet black dining chairs have been thoughtfully selected, creating a Scandinavian-inspired monochromatic dining space that exudes sophistication and elegance.

The Silestone kitchen counter doubles as a breakfast area sized to fit four bar stools on one end.

Initially a closed off L-shaped space, the kitchen was opened up to enable the missus to cook and bake in a more welcoming environment. To prevent cooking fumes from escaping this open-plan area, an aesthetically pleasing and practical recessed cooker hood was installed. The kitchen islands extends out into a casual breakfast counter that's paired with matt silver bar stools for a contemporary twist.
A dash of quirkiness and a touch of colour through the furnishings and artwork make this bright, white oasis even more inviting.

Stepping into the master bedroom, you'll be greeted by a serene and tranquil oasis that draws inspiration from the lush greenery beyond the windows. The interiors have been kept utilitarian, with a single piece of artwork adding a pop of color to the whitewashed color palette, creating a calming and rejuvenating retreat for restful nights and peaceful mornings.
This all white, New York loft-style 5-bedroom condo apartment is a true masterpiece, seamlessly blending urban sophistication with minimalist elegance. From the airy living room to the cozy TV nook, the Scandinavian-inspired dining area, the open and welcoming kitchen, and the serene master bedroom, every space has been meticulously designed to create a harmonious and inviting living experience.
