Mixing modern design with vintage finishes and pops of colour, this HDB flat strikes a timeless balance.
-
Having lived in multiple countries and travelled a fair bit, the family residing in this HDB flat knew exactly what they wanted: an open, free-flowing space that exudes a tidy elegance while still evoking plenty of character. Despite a tight schedule and labour shortages due to the pandemic, executing this vision wasn’t a problem for Kuan Mei Yee, the capable interior designer from DISTINCTidENTITY. The final result? Everything the homeowners dreamed of and more.
