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.
The consistent use of sleek steel and a monochromatic palette provide a seamless flow between the rooms. The black leather Egg chair and metallic throw cushions create a polished and sophisticated look. Water jug, from The Touch.
Monochromatic living room
One of the keys to this chic interior design is the seamless transition and visual flow from room to room. Consistent use of polished steel accents and the monochromatic color scheme allow each space to blend together effortlessly.
In the living area, sleek steel frames on the Egg chair complement the brushed metallic throw pillows for a cohesive look. This attention to detail in material choices creates a refined and sophisticated atmosphere throughout the contemporary Bukit Timah townhouse.
Striking striped chairs and interesting standalone pieces, like the film camera, add drama to the dining room.
Unique dining room
While neutral tones dominate the contemporary townhouse, pops of color and unique design elements prevent the spaces from appearing boring. In the dining room, striking black and white striped chairs make a bold statement. Eye-catching standalone pieces like the vintage film camera add personality.
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.
Dual living rooms in Bukit Timah townhouse
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.
