Industrial touches and quirky furnishings reign in this petite but stylish BTO unit.
When it comes to first homes, most young homeowners would be particular about style and practicality in equal measures. After all, a home is where busy working professionals can truly relax and get away from it all. At the same time, functionality is key in compact homes to maximise every square inch of available space.
This four-room BTO unit, home to young working couple Marcus and Gayle, best exemplifies the chic yet practical home that is so in demand in urban Singapore. Having wanted a unique abode that reflects their trendy tastes and preference for vibrant colours all while being easy to clean and maintain, they sought the help of Eddie Tay of interior design firm Fuse Concept to realise their ideal space.
The result is a cosy haven replete with warm, masculine tones and industrial touches jazzed up with the couple’s collection of pop culture memorabilia.
This unique style can be first discerned from the living space with its wood-textured furniture, classic red brick feature wall and cement screed flooring. While these elements are synonymous with the industrial interior style, the atmosphere isn’t cold at all thanks to the quirky display of accessories and knick-knacks that breathe personality into the space.
