Celebrity stylist Neo Li Rong's silver-and-white bachelorette pad is anything but boring

Fashion stylist Neo Li Rong likes trying new things. In the 38-year-old's words: "I can be Balenciaga one day and very clean-girl the next.

The Singaporean, whose clients include homegrown singer JJ Lin and Malaysia-born actress Jesseca Liu, did not hire an interior design firm to overhaul her four-room HDB flat in Marine Drive.

Instead, she got a contractor from Kim Teng Furniture to install custom cabinetry and bought the furniture from online shopping platform Taobao.

The serene, minimalist design of the 947 sq ft unit evokes the style of American reality television star Kim Kardashian and her family. "I want to have a minimalist life. I do not want a lot of things. Less luxury, more cool."

The flat originally had just one bathroom. Ms Neo had the three bedrooms converted into two and added a second bathroom. Apart from the master bedroom, the guest room doubles as a workspace, filled with clothes and styling props.
