Newly-weds pick clean, functional Japandi aesthetic for their HDB flat

- Home & Decor

Designer Valerie and her husband Zhi Yuan looked to Japandi design for their marital home, a 1,185 sq ft five-room HDB flat in Sengkang East.

The newlyweds, who did not give their full names, liked the Japanese and Scandinavian combination of functional living and tasteful minimalism.

With the help of Mr Effie Jamal of Singapore-based interior design firm DistinctIdentity, the trio brought this vision to life.

Stepping into the flat, visitors are immediately struck by a sense of calm. The foyer that leads into the living and dining areas sets the tone with wood textures and minimalist detailing.

A built-in storage unit, set flush against the wall, offers practicality without sacrificing style.

This sleek design continues through the living area, where the eye is drawn to a long feature wall clad in light wood paneling.
