If you're looking for modern home design inspiration, this 4-storey contemporary townhouse in the upscale Bukit Timah neighborhood is sure to impress. The interior designers at Edgeline Planners have created a chic and sophisticated living space using a monochromatic color palette of greys, whites, and blacks.

Townhouse with contemporary design

Upon entering the contemporary townhouse, you're greeted by the soothing living room decorated in various shades of grey. The plush grey sofa, textured grey rug, and sleek charcoal TV feature wall come together harmoniously.

The different textures and materials prevent the monochromatic palette from appearing drab or lifeless. Instead, the mix of fabric, wood, and matte finishes cultivate a warm and cozy ambiance in this open-concept space.

On the wall, colorful artwork energizes the space while textured wall treatments provide depth and dimension. These purposeful design choices ensure the monochromatic interior remains dynamic and intriguing.

Crisp white shelves with cubbyholes in various sizes neatly store books, CDs and the children’s toys, while mirrored panels keep the CCTV controls, a Wii console, remotes and wires hidden out of sight.

In the second living room, a floor-to-ceiling custom-made bookshelf takes centre stage. The rest of the space is kept neutral, with a light shade of grey on the walls and a simple black sofa, to balance the visual "clutter"of the many items on the shelf. 

Whether you're drawn to the understated elegance or the clever use of textures and accents, this 4-storey contemporary townhouse in Bukit Timah demonstrates how a simple color palette can result in chic and fashionable living spaces. Sometimes less is more when it comes to interior design.
