Easy Does It

Summerhaus D'zign gives this semi-detached abode a minimalist makeover and colour scheme that emphasise the innate charm of the property

Monochromatic, minimalist interiors may be easy on the eye, but with fewer embellishments acting as visual distractions, they can be a challenge to pull off without leaving a space cold and austere. So, to successfully achieve this elegant yet simple aesthetic for a semi-detached house located near Orchard Road, Summerhaus D’zign decided to draw inspiration from the abode’s neoclassical exterior architecture.

“We wanted to match the design of the interior to the facade, which bears elements of neoclassical design. We used a dark shade of walnut by staining the wood flooring. This complements the overall whites of the home to evoke a sense of living in a classic colonial house,” says co-founder Larry Lim.
