This colourful, 1980s-inspired one-bedder is a modern take on retro style

Packed with personality

When the owners of this one-bedroom condominium apartment in Silat Avenue bought their unit, they kept renovations to a minimum.

The couple in their early 30s, who work in the marketing and creative industries, did up the 527 sq ft space using furniture and styling, steering away from bulky built-ins.

They worked with interior design studio Home Philosophy's founder Rashi Tulshyan and lead designer Melissa Wan to make their home a fun, quirky and eclectic take on 1980s pop culture.

"The interior design is full of personality and incorporates some of the clients' hobbies as part of the decor," says Ms Tulshyan.

Instead of built-in storage cabinets, the entrance foyer features low, slim open shelves in an eye-catching orange that provide storage and display space without encroaching on the floor area.

On display here are graphic novels, wine and vinyl records with funky bottle labels, a turntable and books with visually arresting covers.
