Displays of Affection, a four-bedroom condo in Pasir Ris
The entire TV feature wall is made out of white, black and red Lego blocks, which Carmen's team painstakingly put together to achieve the look of a handheld game console.

As the couple did not want to reconfigure the layout, the interior designer focused on customising humorous decal designs - inspired by Aaron's love for Japanese pop culture and Star Wars. Step into the home, and Star Wars CP30 will greet you with "How are you?" in Japanese, while Yoda bids you to enjoy your meal with a cheeky pun: "May the fork be with you."

The love for toys, streetwear and pop culture is shown in this apartment.

The couple shares their apartment with over a hundred toys and pairs of shoes.

The homeowner, Aaron, points out the green ABC Bearbrick (No. 5) and Mika Ninagawa Sakura (No. 8) as among his favourites, as they are collaborations with his favourite Japanese brand, A Bathing Ape, and photographer Mika Ninagawa.

Despite the cheerful nature of the toys and the bold prints, functionality still remains a priority. A full panel of the signature A Bathing Ape camouflage print would have been too busy, so the interior designer introduced a pegboard element to the wardrobe door.

As the homeowner's collection is far greater than the amount of space given to his toy display, he has to occasionally rotate the collectibles.

The white pegboard not only provides a visual break, it also allows for a more versatile display. Pictured are the Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama and Kaws BFF figurines (all purchased at the Museum of Modern Art in New York).

Though the homeowner's wife doesn't mind her husband's toy obsession, Aaron still wanted to make it up to her for "taking over the entire house". The interior designer gave this sincere apology a humorous take with the customised his-and-hers decal.
